Labor-intensive repair work in any type of production requires the use of special equipment that performs the functions of grinding, cutting, sharpening, and polishing. At the same time, areas of cultivated areas are not always easily accessible. Angle grinders, commonly known as grinders, effectively solve a whole list of problems. Among the leading manufacturers of popular power tools, the Russian brand stands out, the most popular models of which we will consider in the review.

Recommendations for choosing an angle grinder
Power. The key characteristic of an angle grinder is the power consumed during operation. This indicator is important not only for the duration of work and the amount of load on the tool. It is important to take into account the power consumption indicator in order not to overload the electrical network. The most powerful machines are equipped with motors of 1.5-2.3 kW; in domestic conditions, you can successfully work with resourceful grinders with a power of 0.75-1.3 kW.
Disk rotation speed
. Another parameter should be linked to power. This is the rotation speed of the equipment.
- The faster the disk rotates, the more productive the tool will be. But experts advise taking into account the maximum diameter of the disk that can be installed on an angle grinder.
- As the tool diameter increases, the rotation speed should decrease. This is done to ensure safe operation of the power tool.
- For example, in a powerful angle grinder with a permissible disk diameter of 230 mm, the rotation speed is limited to 6500 rpm. In small models, where discs with a diameter of 125 mm are allowed, the number of revolutions reaches 11,000 pcs per minute.
Weight.
It’s good to have a tool with a power reserve, but as this parameter increases, the weight of the tool also increases. And if you have to constantly hold the grinder in your hands or with one hand, then the large mass will quickly make itself felt. You can hold machines weighing up to 2 kg with one hand. But with a 6-kilogram tool you will have to work with two hands.
Handle type
. To make it as comfortable as possible to hold the grinder with both hands, the tool is equipped with an additional handle. Modern Interskol grinding machines use two- and three-position handles. The more installation options, the easier it is to find the optimal position for your hand.
Functionality
. The domestic manufacturer keeps up with the times, equipping its grinders with a number of modern functions. However, not all models have the full range of options.
- Soft start limits the current when the device is turned on. In this way, it is possible to reduce the load on the tool gears and on the electrical network. In addition, smooth acceleration of the disk makes work safer.
- Overload protection eliminates the destructive effect on the motor when the disk jams or during prolonged operation with a high load. The system immediately turns off power to the motor.
- Locking the power button prevents the machine from starting if accidentally pressed. This feature will be especially important when children are around. You can also lock the button during operation to prevent your finger from getting tired.
- When the angle grinder reaches the desired speed, the speed stabilization system maintains it, regardless of the load or hardness of the material. The system proportionally increases or decreases the current, thereby maintaining operating performance.
We have selected the 6 best grinders from Interskol for review. You can purchase them in all regions of the country, both in regular stores and on online platforms. When allocating places, the editors of the journal expertology relied on the opinions of experts, taking into account user reviews.

Description of the tool
The Interskol angle grinder is an electric tool , its operating principle is based on the rotation of the disk at high speeds. The disc is usually made of abrasive materials capable of cutting metal and other hard substances. The Interskol angle grinder is powered by 220 volt electricity. The average power is about 1 thousand watts.
Structurally, the grinder is a small device with a handle and a seat for discs on the front part. The main problem of such machines is poor protection from dust particles and microelements formed during sawing or grinding. Interskol does not have these shortcomings. This was achieved by venting air directly towards the workpiece.
Sander equipment
Inside the device there is a powerful electric motor, which, using a gearbox, transmits torque to the disk. Some versions of the tool may have a speed controller. Using it, you can adjust the number of rotations from 3000 to 10000. This is especially true when working with parts that have delicate surfaces. The electronic system of the angle grinder is equipped with a special smooth start mechanism. This allows the disk to start not immediately when turned on, but with a certain delay, which helps to hold the device when working with heavy types of disks.
Some types of small angle grinders may be battery powered. The scope of application of such grinding machines is in hard-to-reach places where it is impossible to install electrical networks.
