  • A 230 volt 110mm angle grinder and a selection of cutting wheels, and suitable gloves

Consensus is this is a great grinder:

Budget estimation

  • £80


Specification

  • To be determined

Additional information

  • The space had 2 angle grinders, one died and the other went walkabout.
  • A loaner grinder mishap, caused perhaps by an intermittent switch recently caused a multiple stitch injury.
  • BE CAREFUL WITH ALL POWER TOOLS!
  • So we need a new one. (and gloves)

Pledges

Running total: £20


Approximate target: £80
