Motor power
Rated power of the electric motor of the machine. The more powerful the engine, the higher the speed and intensity of processing can be, the larger discs can be used with the machine and the better it is suitable for working with hard, stubborn materials. On the other hand, a powerful motor consumes a lot of energy (which may require special connection — see "Power") and significantly affects the dimensions, weight and price of the entire unit. Therefore, manufacturers choose this parameter based on the type (see "Machine") and the desired characteristics of speed, productivity, etc. In fact, this means that engine power is rather a secondary parameter, and when choosing, it makes sense to pay attention to more practical points — disk diameter, rotation / movement speed, etc.
Bore diameter
The bore diameter of the dry cutting discs (see above) used by the machine. In order for the nozzle to be used normally with the machine, it must match it not only in diameter and thickness (see the relevant paragraphs), but also in the size of the mounting hole.
Disc speed
The nominal speed of rotation of the disk for dry processing (see above), provided by the machine; for models with adjustable rotation (see below), the maximum rotation speed.
For the same disc diameter and material, a higher speed provides more intensive processing, and a slower rotation contributes to accuracy and precision. In addition, optimal speeds depend on the composition of the disc and the material being processed; detailed recommendations with specific figures for a particular situation can be found in special sources.
A separate category is grinding machines with disk-shaped working elements: in such units, the actual speed of movement of the disk surface relative to the workpiece depends on how close the contact point is to the centre of the disk.
