Grinder Wheel Mistakes That RUIN Your Cut!

Grinder wheel mistakes can ruin your cut, damage your finish, and make a simple angle grinder job harder than it needs to be. In this video, Vince from VCG Construction tests and explains Spyder cut-off wheels, grinding wheels, flap discs, and diamond blades so you know which grinder accessory to use for mild steel, stainless steel, rebar, tile, brick, masonry, and mixed materials. Shop the Spyder grinder accessories featured in this video at my Lowe’s Storefront: https://shoplowes.me/4tO9DCW We tested Spyder grinder wheels on real materials and found that each wheel performed best when used for the job it was designed to do. Ceramic cut-off wheels made the most sense for metal cutting, the Diamond Edge universal cut-off wheel was best for mixed-material work, the aluminum oxide grinding wheel handled metal removal, the 80-grit flap disc cleaned up and smoothed the surface, and the diamond blades each had a clear purpose for tile, brick, and masonry. If you have ever wondered which angle grinder wheel to use, when to use a cut-off wheel vs a grinding wheel, what a flap disc is for, or whether you need a continuous rim, turbo rim, or segmented diamond blade, this video will help you make the right choice before you start cutting. Always match your grinder wheel to the tool, guard, arbor, RPM rating, material, and job. A cut-off wheel is for cutting. A grinding wheel is for grinding. A flap disc is for blending and finishing. Diamond blades are for tile, masonry, brick, concrete, and similar materials.
