 "title": "The 10 Best Corded Angle Grinders",
 "subtitle": "Wired angle grinders ranked from live Amazon data — full power for the least money, with no battery to run down.",
 "intro": "A corded angle grinder trades the freedom of a battery for a motor that never fades, which is why these are still the workhorse for cutting, grinding, and rust removal at a bench or anywhere a cord reaches. The price gap is the real story: most of the best-sellers here cost less than a single pro battery. This list covers 4-1/2\" grinders (one also takes 5\" wheels) from 6 to 13 amps, with a mix of slide and paddle switches and a few that ship as ready-to-use kits with wheels and a case.",

    "It runs a fixed 10,000 RPM on 6-inch wheels, and 6\" grinding and cut-off wheels are typically rated for only about 10,000 to 10,250 RPM maximum. That leaves almost no safety margin, and fitting a cheaper or older 6\" wheel rated slightly lower is exactly how a wheel bursts under the guard.",
    "The electrical claims contradict each other: 1400W at 120V is 11.7 amps, not the 13 amps in the title, and a genuine 13-amp continuous draw crowds the limit of a standard 15-amp household circuit. The bigger number is the marketing one.",
    "It's the wrong tool for a shopper in this category. A 6-inch grinder is heavier at 7.7 pounds and needs larger, pricier, less-common wheels, yet it sits in the same search as the compact 4-1/2\" tools most buyers actually want.",
    "VEVOR is a house brand spanning thousands of unrelated products, the model number is a generic code, and the part number is literally \"Angle Grinder, 6\\\"\" — signs of a repackaged OEM tool rather than a grinder line with a track record or a warranty to stand behind it."

 "buyers_guide": [
  {
   "q": "Why buy corded instead of cordless?",
   "a": "A corded grinder gives you full, constant power for the least money and never runs out mid-cut, so it's the better choice for bench work, longer grinding sessions, and anyone who doesn't already own a battery platform. Cordless wins only when you need to work where a cord can't reach."
  },
  {
   "q": "How many amps do I need?",
   "a": "6 amps handles light and occasional cutting, grinding, and rust removal. 7 to 7.5 amps is the sweet spot for most DIY and home-shop work. 11 to 13 amps, like the 13-amp DEWALT DWE43116, is for heavy or frequent metal removal where you don't want the motor bogging down."
  },
  {
   "q": "Paddle switch or slide switch?",
   "a": "A slide switch stays on until you turn it off, which is convenient but keeps spinning if you drop the tool. A dead-man paddle switch (Makita 9557PBX1) stops the wheel the instant you release it, which is the safer choice if you use a grinder often."
  },
  {
   "q": "What is a tool-free guard, and does it matter?",
   "a": "The guard deflects sparks and shrapnel and has to be repositioned as you switch between cutting and grinding. A tool-free guard rotates by hand or a lever; without one you need a wrench every time. It's a small feature that you'll appreciate on every job."
  },
  {
   "q": "Bare tool or a kit with wheels?",
   "a": "A bare tool is cheaper if you already have wheels, but you can't use it out of the box. Kits like the AVID POWER, Metabo HPT G12SR4, and Makita 9557PBX1 include cutting and grinding wheels so you can start immediately, which is worth it for a first grinder."
  },
  {
   "q": "Can I put a 5-inch wheel on a 4-1/2-inch grinder?",
   "a": "No. The guard and the tool's rated speed are matched to the 4-1/2\" wheel size. A wheel that's too large won't fit the guard and can spin past its safe RPM. Always match the wheel to the grinder's rated size and keep the RPM rating on the wheel at or above the tool's speed."
