skivepusser
A skivepusser, in Norwegian, translates to a "disc grinder" or "angle grinder." It is a portable electric tool used for grinding, cutting, and polishing. The tool features a rotating abrasive disc that can be interchanged for various tasks. Skivepussers are commonly used in metalworking, construction, and by DIY enthusiasts for tasks such as removing excess material, sharpening tools, cutting metal or stone, and smoothing rough surfaces. The tool's design typically includes a motor housed in a casing, with a handle for grip and control, and a trigger to activate the motor. Safety precautions, such as wearing eye protection and gloves, are essential when operating a skivepusser due to the high-speed rotation of the disc and the potential for sparks and debris. Different types of discs are available for specific materials and applications, including grinding discs, cutting discs, flap discs, and wire brushes. The power of a skivepusser is measured in watts, and the size of the disc, usually ranging from 100mm to 230mm, determines the tool's capacity and maneuverability.
