Kulmahiomakonetta

Kulmahiomakonetta, often referred to as an angle grinder, is a handheld power tool used for grinding, cutting, and polishing. It operates by rotating an abrasive disc at high speed. The tool typically features a motor housed in a casing with a grinding wheel or cutting disc attached to a spindle. Users hold the tool with two hands, guiding the rotating disc against the material they wish to work on.

These tools are versatile and can be employed on a wide range of materials including metal, stone, concrete, and tile. Different types of discs are available for specific applications, such as cutting discs for slicing through metal or masonry, grinding discs for removing material and smoothing surfaces, and wire brushes for cleaning or stripping paint. Safety is a paramount concern when operating a kulmahiomakonetta due to the high speeds and potential for debris. Proper personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection, is essential. Additionally, ensuring the work area is clear and stable, and that the workpiece is securely fastened, are critical safety practices.
