Portable Grinder Inspection Checklist

A person can hold a portable grinder in the hand and use it to cut, polish, sand, or grind various materials, including stone, wood, and metal. It is more appropriate for flexible or on-site use than stationary work because it is portable and hand-operated, and it usually has a revolving abrasive wheel or disc.

Key Characteristics:

  • Hand-held: Small and made to be held in the hand and controlled by hand.
  • Abrasive disc or wheel: Grinding or cutting by an abrasive disk or wheel.
  • Electric or pneumatic powered: Typically driven by compressed air or electricity (corded or battery-operated).
  • Versatile: Frequently employed in maintenance, fabrication, metalworking, and building projects.
