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.

Disc diameter

Regular diameter of the disk (see "Working element") used by the machine for dry processing (see above). When grinding and polishing, usually, we are talking about the maximum diameter of the disk that can be installed on the tool — a larger nozzle will either be ineffective or not fit into the dimensions of the seat at all, but a smaller diameter disk, usually, is installed without problems (of course, if the hole diameter matches — see below). For grinding machines, the diameter of the disc corresponds to the diameter of the sanding pad, which is necessary for the full use of the disc.

The larger the regular disk — the heavier and more powerful the machine, usually, the better it can cope with complex work of a large volume. At the same time, for small everyday tasks like periodically sharpening knives or chisels, a small disc is quite enough.

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.

Belt length

The length of the belt used in a machine with grinding functions (see "Machine"), more precisely, the total length of the entire belt ring installed on the machine.

This information is necessary to select the correct sanding belts — matching in length is essential for the proper installation and operation of the attachment. In this case, the working length, usually, is more than 2 times less than the total, and to determine it, it is worth focus on the dimensions of the desktop (see below).

LED light

The presence of its own illumination in the design of the machine. Usually, such a system takes the form of a lamp attached to the body with a flexible leg. It allows you to brightly illuminate the work area, which is important not only at dusk or darkness, but even in daylight (protective covers and other parts can greatly obscure the working element of the machine).
