Product Information

Full details

The AB Tools 950W Angle Grinder (SIL555) is designed for tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable power tool for metal, stone, and concrete fabrication. Its primary benefit is the combination of a powerful 950-watt motor and a compact 115mm form factor, making it ideal for both precision cutting and heavy-duty grinding, though users should note that its high speed requires consistent maintenance of the cooling vents to prevent overheating during prolonged operation.

FAQs

What is the maximum disc size I can use?

This tool is designed specifically for 115mm (4-1/2 inch) discs.

Does it come with a guard?

Yes, it includes a safety guard to protect the user from debris and sparks during operation.

What kind of power plug does it use?

The unit comes fitted with a standard UK 3-pin plug for immediate use in UK mains outlets.

Can I use this for wood cutting?

Angle grinders are designed for grinding and cutting metal, stone, and concrete; using them with wood-cutting blades is not recommended due to high kickback risks.

How often should I change the discs?

Change the disc whenever it becomes worn, cracked, or if it no longer cuts effectively. Never use a disc that has been dropped or exhibits structural damage.

Is the handle adjustable?

Yes, it features a 2-position auxiliary handle that can be swapped to either side of the grinder body.

Troubleshooting

Tool fails to start

Check the power supply and ensure the plug is fully seated. Verify that the safety release switch is fully engaged.

Excessive vibration during use

Check that the disc is tightened correctly and centered on the spindle. Ensure the disc is not damaged or cracked.

Motor overheating

Clear dust and debris from the cooling vents. Reduce the pressure applied to the workpiece to allow the motor to maintain its speed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-speed 11,000 RPM performance
  • Versatile 2-position handle for improved ergonomics
  • Integrated spindle lock for fast disc replacement
  • Safety-conscious power switch design
  • Suitable for a wide range of surfaces like stone, concrete, and metal

Cons

  • Requires frequent cleaning of air vents during heavy use
  • Fixed 2-metre cord may require an extension lead for larger workspaces
  • Limited to 115mm discs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the grinder, ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply. Use the spindle lock to secure the shaft, unscrew the outer nut, place your 115mm disc (with a 22.2mm bore) onto the M14 thread, and tighten firmly. The 2-position handle can be screwed into either the left or right threaded hole on the gear housing based on your comfort. For care, regularly use compressed air to clear dust from the ventilation slots, as debris accumulation can restrict airflow and impact motor longevity. Check the carbon brushes periodically and ensure the power cord is free from cuts or fraying before every use.
