15 best grinding machines

Grinding machines for woodwork, plastic, stone and other materials are a narrowly focused tool for professional surface treatment. Along with the models with the best characteristics, a wide range of amateur devices is presented on the market, the parameters of which are somewhat inferior to the leaders of the segment, but this is more than offset by a more affordable cost.

This review presents the different types of grinders. All these models have one common feature - they are the best in their class, and according to some indicators they have no equal in the domestic market. The selection of the rating is based on the parameters declared by the manufacturer and the opinions of professionals engaged in professional grinding work. The assessment was also influenced by the opinions of ordinary owners who use this type of power tool for personal use.

Best Belt Grinders

This type of grinding machines, which have a certain similarity to the electric planer, can process even surfaces of materials such as wood, stone, metal, plastic, etc. The tool uses an annular emery cloth as a consumable material, which is put on rollers. Below are the best models of tape machines.

4 Bort BBS-801N

The Bort BBS-801N medium speed grinder is equipped with an 800 W electric motor. It is quite enough for the unit to cope well with the processing of wood, plastic and even metal surfaces (drawing speed is 280 m / min). The belt machine has a speed regulator (6-position switch) and a belt position adjustment mechanism, which eliminates its possible slipping during operation. From the front, the upper part of the housing can be opened, allowing this machine to be ground on hard-to-reach areas.

The special design provides the ability to use the unit and in an inverted position - just lower the clamping handle and secure the Bort BBS-801N with clamps. This is very useful when grinding small objects that are processed by simply pressing to a rotating emery surface. Here, by the way, the existing lock trigger will be most useful. The delivery set includes a dust bag, a pair of spare brushes for the engine, and three sanding belts - you can immediately start working with the tool at no additional cost. As for the reliability of the unit - it is not a professional device, but its cost is more than justified. With regard to quality, attention should be paid to the fact that the grinding machine has a 2 year warranty from the manufacturer, and this says a lot.

3 Status BS75

The presented model of the grinder Status BS75 is designed for cleaning and subsequent finishing of various surfaces. This tool belongs to the tape type and has a rather impressive for the budget segment power - 900 watts. The length of the tape is 533 mm, and the speed of its movement can reach 430 m / min with the possibility of adjustment. For greater reliability, while controlling the Status BS75, an additional handle is provided.

In the process of working with wood or any other material, the workplace will maintain order. For this purpose, a dust collecting container is provided in the Status BS75 grinder, instead of which you can connect to a vacuum cleaner. The package also includes a frame for adjusting the depth of polishing. With the help of special clamps, this machine can be used permanently (tape up).

2 Hammer LSM 1000 PREMIUM

Hammer LSM 1000 PREMIUM is the heaviest - almost 7 kg, which is an absolute record among the grinding tools in this category. Impressive weight is largely due to the metal case, which in itself is quite rare - it is difficult to disable it with a normal fall (and every user had to drop the tool at least once). Earlier in the kit there was a dust collector, but it was very quickly clogged up - the device is powerful (1200 W) and works efficiently.

Because of this, the manufacturer recommends connecting the instrument to a construction vacuum cleaner - this method also allows you to work clean and not to use respiratory protection. In addition, in the tape machine there is a speed adjustment - with its help, you can set up the unit to remove the lacquer layer from the parquet, or polish the unprepared wooden panels. With all the obvious advantages of the model, users absolutely do not consider its cost to be too high, rather, quite the contrary - it is deservedly positioned as one of the best cars and in its characteristics and quality is not much inferior to more expensive professional units.

1 Makita 9404

Powerful, and rather heavy grinding machine in order not to exert special efforts for pressing to the surface in the process of work. It copes well with large volumes, but for processing small areas (bookshelves, etc.), you should choose another tool - this tape machine in such cases is almost impossible to complete the task. Pleases decent length of the power cord - 4 meters, which allows sometimes do without carrying (for example, when sanding a parquet of wood in the room).

For more comfortable working conditions there is a dust collector, instead of which you can connect the suction hose of a construction vacuum cleaner. The clever design of the grinding machine ensures quick removal of the belt and armature brushes on the engine - these operations take a minimum of time, which is very much appreciated by professional builders. You can also adjust the speed of rotation of the tape - a total of five modes. In addition, the trigger has a locking button and with a long uninterrupted operation, and Makita 9404 carries it well, there is no need to hold it all the time.

The best brush grinders

This tool can be safely attributed to the professional equipment - because of its specificity, it rarely attracts the attention of amateurs who purchase a grinding machine to perform various household chores. The best models of this type of instrument are presented in this category.

3 Interskol SHM-110 / 1400EM

The grinder of the brush type Interskol ShM-110 / 1400EM is characterized by high performance, reliability and build quality, which has a positive effect on the duration of service life, despite frequent use and high loads.Having chosen the necessary cylindrical brush with a size of 115 X 110 mm and a bore diameter of 19 mm, you can clean, polish and grind any surface. Thanks to the ability to adjust the spindle speed (1000-4000 rpm) and soft start, this tool can be used with almost all materials. In addition, using this device it is easy to perform the brushing procedure, i.e. create an effect of aged wood.

The electronic unit of the grinding machine Interskol CM-110 / 1400EM also provides the highest quality protection against vibration, overload and re-start. The adapter provided in this model for interfacing with the hose of a vacuum cleaner makes it possible to ensure order in the workplace during work. Reliable fixation of the equipment and an adjustable protective cover guarantee the best protection for the operator while operating this grinding machine.

2 Sturm! AG1014P

High-performance brush grinder Sturm! AG1014P perfectly will be suitable for processing and professional cleaning of a surface from various kinds of pollution. Due to the presence of a function that allows you to adjust the number of revolutions in the range of 1000-3000 rpm, this machine can be used for a wide variety of surfaces made of wood, plastic, metal, etc. The tool needs a consumable such as a grinding brush. Its dimensions of 120 X 100 mm make it possible to cover at once a large area of ​​the treated surface. Sturm ability also affects the reduction of work time! AG1014P maintain at the required level the number of revolutions at maximum load.

In addition to the main handle, this machine comes with an additional handle that can be fixed in three different positions. This model is also distinguished by the most effective protection against dust and reduced noise level.

1 Makita 9741

Unlike most brushing machines for grinding, the Makita 9741 stands out in that the abrasive drum is completely enclosed by a housing cover, which certainly makes a professional tool safer. High performance - that's what the owners most appreciate this device. He does an excellent job with 20 square meters. meters of floor (from different woods) for a couple of hours. Yes, edges and corners are inaccessible to him, but this grinding unit “clicks at times” is not available for large volumes. At the same time the engine power is nothing at all - 860 watts.

The width of the consumables is 100 X 120 mm. Included is a nylon brush, with which you can effectively identify the texture on the treated tree. A brush with a brass or steel pile is required for brushing. There is a withdrawal for the dust collector (it is not included), but given the performance of this “monster”, it is absolutely not needed - it would be better to immediately attach it to the construction vacuum cleaner. The reliability of the tool is best indicated by the manufacturer’s warranty - it is given for a year, which is more than enough for a grinder of this level.

The best eccentric grinders

Machines with an eccentric mechanism of rotation (creates vibrational vibrations), unlike other types of grinding tools, are able to perform fine surface treatment of wood, plastic, concrete, etc., and prepare the material for varnishing or painting.

4 PATRIOT OS 125

One of the most inexpensive grinding machines became a member of our rating is not accidental. PATRIOT OS 125 has adjustment of turns, and the eccentric design allows to make up to 24 thousand oscillations per minute during rotation.It does an excellent job with polishing wood, polishes the putty, and behaves well when processing plastic — you just need to slow down. The engine is only 270 W, so you should not count on the high performance of the tool. For the house and the garage, the PATRIOT OS 125 will be an excellent choice, especially since the price, which is the most affordable in this category of eccentric machines, contributes to this decision.

Despite the presence of a dust collector in the kit, many owners have noticed its unsatisfactory connection to the unit - it now and then jumps off. To connect to a vacuum cleaner, an adapter is needed, which is not provided in the kit. However, for the rest, and especially with regard to the quality of the work carried out, the grinding tool performs its functions quite conscientiously.

3 BISON ZOSHM-450-125

Grinding machine ZUBR ZOSHM-450-125, despite belonging to the category of budget tools, has quite a decent power (450 W). The eccentric design allows the disc to create vibrations with rotation up to 13 thousand rpm. There is a speed regulator, thanks to which you can adjust the nature of the work on the tree or any other material. A dust collector is included, but when working with this unit, it is better to connect the vacuum cleaner - there will be practically no dust.

Despite the manufacture of Chinese factories, the quality of the assembly and components is high enough that the manufacturer could provide a warranty period of operation for 5 years. This is the best evidence of the reliability and excellent characteristics of the machine speaks in its favor more than any, even the most laudable review. In addition, the owners of ZUBR ZOSHM-450-12, sharing about the capabilities of the tool, speak exclusively in a positive way.

2 DeWALT DWE6423

Upon closer examination of one of the best models of eccentric machines, you can immediately highlight the advantage of the DeWALT DWE6423, as a good ergonomic body and high-quality assembly. Despite the moderate power (280 W), the grinding tool supports rotation speeds of up to 12,000 rpm (there is a speed regulator) with a platform stroke of 2.4 mm, which is great for finishing surfaces, including wood.

We can safely say that this machine is quite quiet and easy to use - the vibration load on the hands of the operator does not lead to fatigue, so a continuous workflow proceeds quite comfortably. The DeWALT DWE6423 has a working disk with a diameter of 125 mm and is equipped with a dust collector, instead of which, for greater efficiency, it is better to connect the vacuum cleaner hose. Of the drawbacks, only one was noticed - the absence of a carrying case and storage. Otherwise, this eccentric grinder demonstrates high performance.

1 Makita BO6040

The best example of a professional tool that can compete on equal terms with the products of more expensive brands (the same Festool), deservedly became the leader in the ranking among eccentric grinding machines. A smooth start and a stabilization system of revolutions, as well as an engine brake indicate the reasonableness of this device, demonstrating high efficiency in operation. Abrasive sheets with a diameter of 150 mm are attached to the sole by means of velcro, and in the base plate itself there are channels for dust evacuation. With the help of an adapter (included), the Makita BO6040 easily connects to the vacuum cleaner.

In addition, the grinder has a sufficiently high power (750 W) and a decent course of a platform of 5.5 mm, which allows the processing of wood of different levels of complexity. At the same time, the weight of the device is 2.7 kg and it is practically not necessary to apply clamping forces during finishing polishing - the weight of the unit itself is sufficient.Like all tools of this class, Makita BO6040 has a case in which it is much easier to store and transport it to the work site.

Top Vibration Grinders

Flat-shredded vibratory sanders are characterized by simplicity of design and low cost abrasive consumables — ordinary emery tape of a certain length is used, which is easily fixed with clamps. This tool is great for processing wood, concrete.

The low-noise and compact vibration grinding machine PATRIOT OS 105 is designed for small amounts of work on wood and other materials. The sole area allows you to install abrasive sheets with sizes of 104 X 112 mm. Due to its miniature, there are no additional handles. The case itself is a comfortable grip under one arm, on which the operator’s palm will be quite comfortable.

Dust collector is made in the form of a neat plastic case. Actually, the whole machine is assembled very high quality, that at more than affordable price can not but rejoice. The platform vibrates with a frequency of oscillations of 13 thousand per minute - excellent indicators for finishing polishing. Engine power in this case is 240 W, which, given the small working surface, makes the PATRIOT OS 105 quite nimble. Taking into account the modest dimensions of the grinding machine, it, as a rule, is most often used as a household tool, but there are exceptions. When small surface machining is required, it can do a great job.

3 BOSCH GSS 23 A

The BOSCH GSS 23 A grinder is a hand tool with which you can achieve the highest quality and precise processing of various materials. The vibration platform made of durable metal, which is the basis for fixing the sanding sheet, makes up to 12,000 vibrations per minute, without the possibility of adjustment. In this case, the power consumption of this machine is quite small - only 190 watts.

It is a pleasure to work with the BOSCH GSS 23 A grinding tool.

Thanks to the endurance of the BOSCH GSS 23 A engine, it can easily withstand many hours of load, thus providing excellent productivity.

2 Makita 9046

The Makita BO3711 vibration type grinder is a tool that is rather pleasant to hold. According to its characteristics, it is more than worthy to take the place of a leader. The reason why this did not happen should be sought in the cost of the device - and it is the highest in this category. However, according to the owners, the car is worth the money. The course of the platform is 5 mm, and the area of ​​the area being processed is 115 X 280. The engine tolerates long loads well and practically does not heat up beyond measure.

Long service life, no maintenance work as such (replacement of brushes and cleaning once or twice a year) and high performance - the tool pays for investments rather quickly. However, in the case of mechanical damage (fell, etc.), repair is very expensive (some owners, who are faced with such a problem, say that it is better to get a new one).However, with careful handling, the only thing that a professional user will miss in this grinding machine is the length of the cord.

1 Hammer PSM 300

Like all Hammer equipment, the vibrating grinding machine is distinguished by its high-quality assembly and the quality of its component parts. In her work, she has proven herself to be a reliable and stable instrument, in which everything is in its place and works like a clock. The dust collector that comes with the grinder can be replaced with a connection to a vacuum cleaner - there is also a special adapter for a standard nozzle diameter for this. On top of that, there are spare brushes for the electric motor and abrasive sheets in the kit.

It polishes well both the floorboard (at maximum speed) and items made from more delicate plywood, the main thing is to choose the right speed. It is certainly far from industrial scale, but for living conditions or the piece work of the Hammer PSM 300 vibrating machine with a 300-watt motor is enough. It was managed to evaluate a lot of different owners, who note the simplicity and reliability of the tool at any intensity of use.
