A 110V angle grinder runs on reduced voltage power - the standard on UK construction sites where transformer safety rules apply. If you're working from a site transformer or yellow socket, you need 110V. A standard 240V tool simply won't do.
Disc size matters. Most site grinders take 115mm or 125mm discs for cutting and grinding metal. Larger 230mm models handle heavier fabrication work but are less manoeuvrable. Match the disc size to the job before you buy.
Motor power ranges from around 700W up to 2400W on heavy-duty models. Higher wattage means more torque under load - useful for prolonged grinding on steel or concrete. For light cutting tasks a mid-range watt rating is usually enough.
Look for a soft start feature to reduce disc snap on startup. Spindle lock makes disc changes faster on site. Adjustable guards are worth having when switching between cutting and grinding wheels.
A corded angle grinder will always outrun a battery model for sustained heavy use. No charge time. Consistent power output throughout the job. For site professionals that reliability matters.
