Another ALDI bargain, Angle Grinder this time

Angle grinder would be good for converting them into kipper pate...might be something of a widely distributed pate though...

s'why mangle grinders come in boxes....take grinder out of box, put kippers in box, make pate.

What could possibly go wrong??

Stall angle grinder and wrap in Kippers, remove acording to cooked smell.

And £2.99 for 12 cutting/grinding discs isn't bad either (they don't need to last long at 25p each!)

And there was I thinking that the proper way to cook them was to wire them to a Reliant's exhaust pipe

...and of course, dip the angle grinder in the ultrasonic cleaner to get the crud off afterwards. A perfect combination ;-)

Bit of a side issue, but how do they rate the motors on these things? I just bought a beltsander from B&Q which boasts an 800watt (£13.19 + free

135W sheet sander) motor. The puzzle is that the 750Watt motor on my mill is bigger than the whole sander whereas the motor on the sander (and the angle grinder) don't seem much bigger than my fist.

These are powered by "universal" motors - there is a field winding as well as a winding on the rotor. They tend to be smaller Watt for Watt than DC motors that use a permanent magnet to generate the field (such as I have on my X3 mill), which in turn tend to be smaller than "squirrel cage" AC motors.

A specific difference is that the universal motors that these tools use typically rotate at 22,000 rpm or similar. With electric motors, torque tends to go up with size. Running the motor faster enables more power for the same size and torque.

Picked one up with some disks - also a set of diamond disks for 3 quid:
