Choosing a case for the grinder

The use of portable power tools requires certain storage and transport regulations. A case or box for a grinder can be made with your own hands or you can purchase a ready-made model of industrial production. Choosing for tools with cutting discs should be durable but lightweight options with a securely closing body. In this case, the equipment will be sufficiently well protected from contact with moisture, liquid media, and other external sources of danger.

Before choosing a case for a grinder, it is worth considering that this type of tool is usually transported together with consumables - diamond cutting discs. The purchase of a special storage box in this case must necessarily be justified by its convenience, adaptation to the size of specific equipment. Accordingly, you need to pay attention to:

• dimensions of the model - they must correspond to the dimensions of the grinder;
• number of sections - it is good if a module for storing disks is provided;
• appointment - a wooden box is suitable for stationary storage, for transportation it is better to choose a polymer case;
• the presence of a handle - it matters if angle grinders often have to be moved from place to place;
• fastenings inside - Locks help hold the case in place, preventing accidental damage.

In addition to hard cases, there are also soft, portable options in the form of bags that allow you to protect the instrument, which is used especially often, when carrying, transporting, storing.

The first thing to consider when choosing an angle grinder is its size and status. In the case of household UShM-125 models, it is possible to do with storage with a standard case or a universal module with compact dimensions. Universal plastic structures designed for stationary placement in a garage or home workshop are also suitable. Professional models with a larger disc size are much larger. Their permanent placement requires stationary structures capable of providing ease of use.

The correct box for UShM-230 is more like a suitcase, in which one half is used to fix additional devices. Large manufacturers have entire series of storage systems in the appropriate size range. Among their advantages, we can note the maximum adaptation to the needs of the user. Cases for battery models of grinders are equipped with an additional compartment for placing replaceable batteries separately from the main body.

The grinders designed to work with discs with a diameter of 180 mm belong to the professional class of tools. For their storage and transportation, both hard cases and suitcases in a solid case, and lighter, mobile solutions are produced. The bag is 180 mm high, made of durable materials, can have rigid inserts to protect equipment from damage. Outwardly, such devices look like classic sports or tourist options, equipped with convenient carrying handles.

If you need to choose a storage system for a garage or home, you can pay attention to rigid dimensional boxes made of natural wood or metal. Such modules can have additional compartments, a hinged or sliding cover.Versions are usually produced in a universal size range, allowing you to place the power tool in various designs, with discs of 180-230 mm.

Unlike cases, they do not require removal of the handle prior to storing the equipment. You can purchase industrial options or make your own.
