Angle grinder accessory AWTools AW56011, compatible spare part, weight 90 g

AWTools AW56011 is an angle grinder accessory designed as a compatible spare part for handheld angle grinders. The component weighs 90 g and consists of abrasive polyester brown cloth flaps with aluminium oxide (corundum) grit on a fibreglass backing plate with a conical face. It is intended to replace a worn or damaged accessory part to maintain tool functionality and extend service life while enabling grinding and polishing tasks on a variety of materials.

Advantages

The AWTools accessory combines aluminium oxide abrasive on polyester cloth for effective material removal and long flap life. The fibreglass backing plate with a conical profile provides stable support and controlled contact with the workpiece. Lightweight construction (90 g) reduces added mass on the grinder, helping to maintain balanced handling during use. The flapped design allows simultaneous cutting and finishing action, reducing the need for multiple tools.

• Finishing and shaping aluminium, plastic and wood
• Replacement of worn accessories on handheld angle grinders

How to use

Install the AWTools AW56011 accessory on a compatible angle grinder according to the grinder manufacturer's mounting instructions and safety guidelines. Secure the backing plate and flaps firmly before operation. Start the tool at low speed to check balance, then increase to the recommended operating speed for the specific grinder and task. Apply light, consistent pressure and move the tool across the workpiece to achieve uniform material removal; avoid excessive force that can cause premature wear or overheating. Allow the accessory to cool periodically during extended use.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, gloves and respiratory protection when working with metal dust, paint residues or other particulates. Match the accessory to the workpiece material—aluminium oxide grit is well suited for steel and stainless steel as well as general-purpose use on softer materials. Inspect the accessory before each use and replace it if flaps are significantly worn, torn or the backing plate is damaged.
