METAL CUTTING

METAL CUTTING AND FABRICATION:

When cutting metal it is important to use the correct tool to ensure safety standards are upheld and the fabrication being undertaken is accurate.

A popular tool to use is the angle grinder; an angle grinder (available in several sizes and power outputs) can remove metal quickly and save hours of otherwise labourious time.

In the UK several leading brands of grinders are available including top power tool names such as Bosch, Dewalt, Hitachi, Makita, and Ryobi.

Hitachi Angle Grinders in particular are suited for metal working due to their strong construction, high power motors, and reliability when used in this environment.

The most popular sizes of hitachi angle grinders purchased are the 4 1/2" and 9" models, typically the G12SR and G23 versions. Both grinders are user friendly, efficient in power output and are available to buy at competitive prices.

Hitachi angle grinders are not normally sold in DIY stores as they are more suited to professional tradesmen, builders, and metal workers. To purchase a Hitachi G12 or G23 angle grinder the route that should be taken is to visit a specialist tool shop catering for these type of customers.

One such outlet is a company in Nottingham that sells alltools in the Hitachi range, and at discount prices is MF Hire. Their tool shop is located at Colwick Road, on the outskirts of Nottingham city centre.
