Cordless Angle Grinder

Thermo Scientific
A cordless angle grinder similar to the one pictured below will successfully remove medium to
heavy oxidation or paint. This grinder (which uses a 4.5 inch sanding disc with a rubber
backup pad) can be purchased from ThermoFisher or industrial tool manufactures like
DeWalt, Makita or Milwaukee.
Figure 5.

Cordless Angle Grinder Kit

A grinder kit typically contains the grinder, a battery, and charging unit. If the kit contains a
grinding stone wheel, remove and dispose of it. Grinding stones are not to be used for XRF
sample preparation. A rubber backup pad and a retaining nut are needed to use with sanding
discs. (See picture below).
