As a rule, home craftsmen quite often need a high-quality and solid tool for working with metal, stone and tile. Simply put, we are talking about the so-called "grinders", whose assortment in the modern construction market is extremely wide. The Interskol company is well known, about whose products we will talk today.
Why is the Interskol Bulgarian most often purchased? As a rule, one cannot do without it when erecting a fence made of galvanized metal, cutting a profile and reinforcement, and also when working with stone and paving slabs. To do this, you will need a tool with a circle diameter of 180 mm, a power of at least 1.8 kW. With such a grinder you can handle almost all types of work.
In the article, as an example, we will consider the Interskol grinder UShM-180. It is quite universal, it is possible to work in the “on my own” and “on my own” positions. In addition, thanks to the convenient and ergonomic shape of the tool, it is easy to work in a fully horizontal position, which requires the same grinding. Moreover, in all positions, you will not have difficulties with access to the governing bodies of the instrument. The working handle has three positions in which it is fixed using a special switch.
Note that the grinder "Interskol" UShM-180 supports fixing the power button in the working position. Of course, the security of such a solution is rather doubtful, but this option is indispensable for many operations. However, the switch is mounted in this position with a special hook, which can be folded out with the help of a light effort even with one finger.
Like the Interskol 125 grinder, this model has the spindle lock option for quick and safe wheel changes. The manufacturer also focuses on the fact that the gear case in this case is made of high-strength magnesium alloy. This allowed not only to reduce the weight of the tool, but also to increase its strength.
About power, you need to say a few words separately. In particular, grinding the surface is just perfect, but when cutting you should avoid situations in which it is possible to pinch the circle, since in this case the tool begins to literally break out of the hands. In addition, it is extremely easy to spoil or simply break the cutting wheel.
In a word, any Bulgarian “Interskol” requires high-quality fixing of the workpiece for its processing. This model is positioned as a tool for especially hard work, so it is quite difficult to perform simple cutting of the same profile with it. Note that to work with it, a cutting disc is required, the thickness of which is at least 3 mm. If you need a precise and accurate cut, it is better to look for a tool easier.
Thus, the advantages and disadvantages of the grinder considered by us should be noted:
- The advantages include the large diameter of the cutting disc, high power and ease of adjustment to perform various construction tasks.
- Among the shortcomings, we emphasize that this tool is quite heavy, and for handling it requires good physical shape and reliable fastening of the workpiece.
In any case, these Interskol grinders (prices for which rarely exceed 2.5 thousand rubles) are of high quality and reliability.
