dam. I'd prefer the 100mm grinder, but it is $10 more!
How much in inches? (Grindr reference)
9.5 until you see it
I prefer not to 😅
well I thought it was funny
Can I ask why? Which size is more common?
the 100mm is much easier to handle, less strain on the wrists.
the 125mm has more ergonomic handle and trigger switch vs 100 which is grab the barrell,
you can use 100mm disc in the 125 but cant use 125 discs in the 100 if you have the guard on.
as Logical says, plus larger grinders can bite you. Also, I already have several 100mm discs & accessories, which won't fit a 125mm grinder.
You could put a 100mm disc on the 125… or is that unsafe?
no you will find a 125 disc wears to less than 100mm while using anyway …..
you can't. they have different size holes in the centre of the discs.
I've had one of these for about 12 years and it's still kicking from intermittent (not frequent, not trade-ish) use. Enough power to cut through a fair bit of stuff. No soft start or brake, but that's not enough to not buy it.
Good Grider just cut out a brick wall with this. Like butter.
What discs did you use. I have the Aldi grinder 5” /125mm and used Aldi diamond discs. Took a while to cut concrete pavers…
bricks are from clay and soft, concrete pavers are from concrete and hard
Username checks out
Ok, that makes sense. The concrete pavers also had rocks /aggregate in them. Literally grinding stones…
Bought the cheapest pack from bunnings. Think it's Craftsmen. There are 2 types. Might need the ones with bigger teeth for concrete.
Thanks mate. They look very similar to the Aldi set I used.
Cheers
Work as a polisher?
rpm is too high for polishing ….
Do I need an angle grinder? Diwhy weekend warrior. I feel like I would get more use out of a circ saw but right now happy to just use a hand saw.
Depends on what you are working on.
If you are working with mainly metal, grinders are a must. Not just for cutting / grinding, but with flapper disks or wire wheels they are handy for rust / paint removal too.
Also handy for masonry work- with the right disks you can work with brick / concrete, and also tile cutting.Circular saw is obviously handy for wood. Personally I'd get a compound mitre saw first. But they will likely cost a bit more and take up more space for storage
For $28.90, it is worth having in the shed. Plan on doing any fencing or demo work, this comes in handy. Can also use to sharpen tools if you have a vice.
Yeah at the very least there will come a time when you need to do something like cut chain lol
Nice timing my Makita GA4030 shat itself yesterday and while I'm loathe to make landfill out of it I've eventually determined it's the armature and a replacement for this is more than twice the cost of this brand new Ozito.
Go figure.
"loathe to make landfill out of it"
Do you have one of those fixit or mens sheds, drop it off they might use it
.Good idea but those orgs have less $$$ than me - and it's not a fixable part i.e replacement needed. For AU parts its actually $150+ to replace! Which is mad as the entire grinder brand new is $119.
Chuck it in the ewaste bin at Bunnings, at least there's a chance it'll be stripped for parts/materials.
Have you tried fleabay and 2nd hand stores. Maybe someone has a faulty one that is broken in a different way that you can switch the armature with.
Prefer a cordless one for convenience.
The ozito battery grinder is pretty gutless and a lot more expensive
I have a whole bunch of cordless product - I don't expect myself to use an angle grinder enough to 'need' cordless. I suspect others will feel the same.
I have used both in the Ozito range. Both great value. The battery one is ok. Not amazing but if you have the batteries and you use it a lot on not super heavy stuff it is a good option
mains powered tools have a LOT more power.
I bought the 125mm for $50 a few weeks ago, very impressed with it for such a cheap tool, plenty of power.
I’ve got a big rock that sticks up through my lawn and after digging around a bit I can see that is is a huge boulder and I have zero chance of digging it up. With a grinder like this will I be able to cut off a piece around 20cm across?
Maybe if you cut a slot all the way around the bottom (WEAR EYE PROTECTION AND GLOVES!) you could put a steel wedge into the cut and hit it with a sledge hammer. It would most likely break a flake off but you could keep trying, and/or even flake it off all the way around and then make another cut, etc. But WEAR EYE PROTECTION AND GLOVES!
actually this reminds me of the time I was using an Ozito SDS hammer drill on a large dolerite boulder stuck against my house footing, to weaken and remove some of it. It was drilling away slowly but brutally, and then began to get a bit easier, seemed a bit softer. I found out why when I pulled the drill out and found the drill bit had partly melted and was glowing orange. Later, after using it as a jackhammer on old, very hard concrete the motor finally coughed and died. In the case I found the receipt from 10 months previously, so I thought eh, why not try and took it in. Guy at the counter told me to say I had used it for home handyman applications, took it back, swapped for another one which I still have.
You might be best off digging down around it a bit, chipping the top 100-200mm off with a jackhammer then filling in the hole. The $100 ozito sds hammer drill would probably be sufficient, cheapest nastiest proper jackhammer you can get is the full boar 1500w for $350, good for breaking things, not comfortable for longer use.
Is this 20cm in diameter horizontally? If so, what’s the vertical height.
I cut some concrete pavers and had to do it in multiple strips (I.e., multiple vertical cuts) about 5mm apart… took ages but worked out well in the end. Although you might be able to get away with wider cuts (e.g., every 15mm) and clean up the rest with a sledge hammer. Eye protection is a must, I’d also recommend ear protection, dust mask ?n95, and maybe wear jeans and shoes (hot rocks/fragments).

Have one, used it for cutting out edges of bricks when paving around the front yard. Swapped it for a new one when the switch got a bit sticky. Great value.
"Error. Sorry, we hit a snag!"
It's back online
Yep. Got one. Cheers.
i have no use for it.
did i buy one?
you know i did.
now time to do a project that i didn't have to do to justify buying this to my wife.
This is the way
Thanks OP got one
I’ve also been wanting to get one for a while but didn’t have a reason to justify buying it at the usual price, so thanks for giving me a reason to buy it! Woo!
This is the way
I'm pretty sure this sale price ends today (according to the price tag in store)
With a 3year warranty… Not bad at all
