What is a die grinder and what it is used for?
A die grinder is a tiny, hand power tool which has a rotating spindle where a collet holds the grinding bit. The polishing bit that rotates at very high speed is used for removing material from the work-piece. They act like rotary tools and are usually powered by compressed air or electricity.
