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.

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).
