There are dozens of different tools and supplies that a person can reach for to complete a project. Some tools, however, are more widely used than others and feature more versatility. The grinder, for example, is utilized in all types of work environments, from the wood shop to the automotive garage. This air tool has many different applications for both professionals and hobbyists.

Like many versatile shop tools, the air grinder is fairly straightforward in both design and application. This tool features a handle opposite an abrasive end that can easily be changed. The abrasive portion of a grinder is used to sand, polish, rub or cut a surface. Grinders and sanders can have a straight handle, or you can choose from one of the many angle grinders, which feature a grinding surface that is set at a right angle from the handle of the tool. Grinders are also made with varying abrasive heads. Most grinders come with one of three options for abrasive heads: You can select a flat disc, a conical head or a smaller, thicker disc. Some grinders also accommodate a spherical grinding head. Depending on your project, different types of grinders and tips will be better for your particular needs.

If you are like most people, one of the best features of the pneumatic grinder is its ability to accomplish such a wide variety of tasks with ease. Because of this, many professionals and hobbyists do not purchase a specific style or disc head, instead favoring one of the many grinder kits on the market. Grinder kits usually include one base unit with an assortment of interchangeable grinding tips. Some kits, however, only feature the smaller grinding heads, neglecting to include the larger flat disc most often used for sanding applications; if this is a necessary addition to your pneumatic grinder, purchase this model separately, or look for a kit that has a full assortment of grinding heads.

While many of the most widely sold air grinders are portable, pneumatic hand tools, there is also another type of grinder that is commonly seen in professional workshops. It is a more specialized type of tool, lacking in some of the versatility seen in the portable models. Still, the bench grinder is preferred for some applications and professions. Bench grinders usually do not have interchangeable grinding surfaces, instead featuring a pair of stationary thick discs that can sand or shape different materials.

Regardless of what type of grinder is best for your needs, brand matters. The best brands of tools will provide you with the most reliable performance on the job. Options like Craftsman grinders are also surprisingly affordable, making them the smartest choices for your shop or garage.
