MAKITA GD0600 110v Die Grinder Paddle Switch

The first thing to consider is whether you need a Die Grinder or a Straight Grinder. Die Grinders got their name because their original purpose was for grinding the dies used in tooling and can be used for grinding, sanding, honing, polishing, or machining material. Straight Grinders are used to de-burr machine worked metal.

Then think about the kind of power your work site uses, as many of the Die Grinders and Straight Grinders sold by ToolStore UK are offered in both 110v and 240v versions.

In terms of performance, look at the Power Input and the No Load Speed; these attributes will show you the potential of the tool. Then check the maximum collect diameter and the maximum grinding tool diameter; these will give you an indication of the kinds of work you can do with the tool.
