A saw blade for an angle grinder, equipped with a cutting edge with teeth, can be used when working with wood and wood-based materials.
This type of wheel for an angle grinder is capable of providing an even and clean cut of boards, plywood, parquet, laminate, fiberboard and chipboard.
In this review, we will consider the best models of saw blades for angle grinders, and will dwell on the criteria for choosing equipment of this type.

What to look for when choosing a saw blade for wood?
The key features that you should pay attention to when choosing a saw blade for an angle grinder are the following:
- External diameter of the equipment. The size of the wheel largely depends on the power of the angle grinder and the type of work being carried out. 12.5 cm discs are considered the most suitable for wood. A larger diameter increases productivity, but requires professionalism and increased safety measures.
- Internal (landing) diameter. For angle grinders it is standard - 22 mm. Otherwise, the disks can be installed through special adapter rings. Some equipment models may be equipped with this accessory.
- Disk type. Monolithic equipment is characterized by low cost, but requires periodic setting of teeth and sharpening. More durable carbide blades require little maintenance and provide clean cuts at any speed.
- Number of teeth. Cross cutting requires the use of discs with a large number of cutters - 60-90. Accordingly, longitudinal cuts are obtained better when using models with a small number of teeth.
- Rotational speed. High speed blades are suitable for working with dense and hard wood. The low-speed attachment is ideal for soft and sticky wood.
Difficulties when working with an angle grinder
We mentioned the discrepancy between the speed of the grinder and the circular saw, but users who have an angle grinder with speed control can say that this factor was taken into account, and any saw blade for wood will be suitable for their tool.
Of course, by setting the number of revolutions of the grinder's output shaft corresponding to that indicated on the saw blade, they significantly reduce the risk of injury during operation, but do not completely eliminate it. This is primarily due to the material itself, or rather its structure and heterogeneity.
Even in different places of one trunk, a tree has different hardness, not to mention inclusions of viscous resin, the possible presence of metal found in the thickness of the wood: from pellets and bullets that hit the tree during a hunt, to wires that had grown into it, which were used to tie branches. Don't forget about knots, which are present in almost all types of wood.
When encountering the listed obstacles, the saw blade sharply slows down and, by inertia, the grinder is simply torn out of the hands, and when passing a hard section, it rushes forward with redoubled force.
When encountering metal, there is a high probability of chipping a carbide tooth, which can be captured next and thrown out at the speed of a bullet. It’s good if it’s within the range of the protective casing.
A person who decides to cut a tree is exposed to even greater danger, because in this case the grinder must be placed on its side, which changes the usual and comfortable grip, which means the grip weakens.
We categorically do not recommend cutting wood with an angle grinder that does not have speed control, or with saw blades for circular saws. But there are special discs for angle grinders designed for working with wood.

Grinder for sanding wood
But this work, incl. on wood, specifically for this tool. Just a small photo selection of angle grinder attachments for grinding is evidence of this.
- for rough grinding.
- The most common type of attachments for grinding angle grinders, cleanliness depends on the size of the abrasive grain on the blades.
- The simplest option for changing grinding wheels is to use a holder attachment with a sticky base, on which replaceable abrasive wheels with different grains or even polishing bristles are attached.
- polymer abrasive nozzle made of silicon carbide with nylon.
- belt attachment for sanding.
And instead of a conclusion. Is it possible to cut wood with a grinder? It depends on what and what. If you cut a thin dry twig, then there are practically no restrictions, but if you have to do more serious work, see above.
