There now are more and more products that can be used with the right-angle grinder, and the tool is becoming more and more useful because of the wider range of products available. This article provides information on the products available, what to use for what application, and how to use these products.

Abrasive products used for finishing of metal and non-metallic workpieces in the production plant are generally categorized into two main groups: bonded abrasives (usually grinding wheels) and coated abrasives (belts, discs, sheets, etc.).

Success in the furniture industry depends largely upon style, quality, and finish. They depend heavily on coated abrasives in many forms to achieve the desired finished result.

Non-metallic is the grinding, beveling, dimensioning, and finishing of glass, rubber, stone, brick, ceramics, and plastics. The primary products used on the above are silicon carbide belts in waterproof and non-waterproof X weight cotton and polyester materials.

A surprisingly large volume of coated abrasives is sold in the form of sheets, rolls, and discs for use in hand or mechanical applications. Many of these are used in general maintenance, paint preparation, or for cleaning and polishing metal parts.
