viking Posted December 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 they look like files, i dont do much filing, i can guess they are or could be handy but i was more thinking of using mine for all sorts, sanding,light grinding cutting and so on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckyshot Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) i thoughts thats what they were for, thats the reason i bought it, all them little grinding stone seem to have no use to me whatsoever, im now thinking iv just wasted £50 Air tools vary alot from standard electric power tools, a grinder is just a grinder as you don't generally get one larger than 115mm in air tools where as a standard 1mm cutting disc come as 125mm so wont go past the guard and the rpm is also different.

viking Posted December 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) there was also a mini cut off tool at the shop today same as my die grinder, looked like a 3" disc https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clarke-cat127-professional-3-air-cut-off-tool/ and iv seen people using them as grinders, sanders and abrasive pads on youtube Edited December 28, 2016 by viking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air tool wise you would get a da (dual action sander) for sanding a grinder for grinding and for cutting you will either use a one like you have linked or a 125mm air cutter similar looking to a grinder. All depends on what you want the tool for. I use mine a lot and have around 10 different sanders/cutters/grinders. One tool will not do everything unfortunately.

Found this. http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/whats-difference-between-die-grinder-cut-off-tool-76087.html#/topics/76087?page=1&_k=gtz3q6 If you're cutting body panels ideally you want the 125mm cutter, if you're just cutting the odd job the 3" one will do. A die grinder like yours doesn't come with a guard so if you do use it for cutting/grinding, watch your fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
