The main split
An angle grinder cuts and grinds metal — powerful, but aggressive. A belt sander is better for flattening large wood surfaces. A straight grinder reaches corners and tight spaces.
PALĪGS
Which sander/grinder should I choose?
For metal, wood or tight spaces — PALĪGS helps you pick the right grinding/sanding tool.
Grinding and sanding are often thrown into one “angle grinder” box. In practice the type depends on surface and access: metal, a flat wooden face, or a tight space where a large disc simply does not fit.
Cord or battery
For light occasional work, battery freedom helps. For heavy metal grinding in a workshop, corded power is often preferred. PALĪGS considers both the job and how you prefer to work.
How to use this helper
Choose what you do most often and where it is more convenient. If unsure, pick “I don’t know”.
