It is considered that it is possible to use a grinder for working with wood only if the surface requires grinding. For example, it is necessary to remove the old layer of varnish or paint, to finish processing the logs. For these purposes, petal end rings are intended. In Kyiv, such accessories are presented in a wide range in the Lidertool online store: https://lidertool.com.ua/krugi-lepestkovye-torcevye. Depending on the type of wood, you can choose the type of abrasive material and its grain size.
But what to do when the tools at hand are only a grinder, and you need to saw wood? Another question immediately arises: is it possible to install saw blades on the Bulgarian?
Saw discs for USHM
A few years ago, the majority of masters agreed that it is impossible to use saw discs for an angle grinder. The fact is that such circles were produced exclusively for circular saws and were designed for a lower speed of rotation. Therefore, at high power of the grinder, the nozzles could not withstand the load and failed.
Today, manufacturers of consumables for USHM meet their customers and produce special tools for working with wood. Such circles are adapted to the high revolutions of the grinder and are suitable for wood carving, cutting and selecting grooves, as well as for performing other tasks.
Saw discs for angle grinders are divided into several types:
- circular (toothed) - are considered the most dangerous, so they are recommended only if the USHM is used as a stationary circular saw;
- chains - the chain is located on the outer edge, due to this, jamming of the circle is excluded;
- three-toothed saws are universal, as they provide fast and safe sawing;
- segmented discs made of tungsten carbide - have increased durability.
Thus, the choice of dust circles is quite extensive. The same can be said about attachments for sanding wood. Lidertool offers abrasive wheels from proven manufacturers: Golden Fleece and Swatycomet. We are located at the address: Kyiv, str. Berezhanskaya, 9. Phone: +38 (063) 293-17-33.
Is the USHM disc suitable for a circular saw?
Circles for grinders are produced taking into account the high speed of rotation, while circular saws, by definition, have significantly lower revolutions. Therefore, in principle, it is possible to install a grinding wheel on the dust. But this is impractical, since the equipment will be less effective and will quickly become unusable.
Some last tips
Whether to use a grinder for woodworking is up to you. The main thing is to remember that discs must be selected based on the parameters of a particular instrument. Do not remove the protective cover and always follow the safety rules.
