Draper 230V Draper Expert Angle Grinder, 115mm, 850W

Tackle grinding, cutting, and surface preparation tasks with precision and confidence using the Draper Expert AG850 850W Angle Grinder — a compact, powerful, and well-specified 115mm grinder from Draper's Expert range of professional-grade power tools. Built to meet the demands of tradespeople, fabricators, and advanced users who rely on their tools for daily professional use, the AG850 combines a robust 850W motor with a thoughtful set of practical features that make it safer, more versatile, and more comfortable to use than standard angle grinders in its class.

Running at 11,000rpm with a 115mm disc diameter, the AG850 delivers fast, efficient material removal across a wide range of grinding, cutting, and finishing applications — from grinding welds and removing rust and scale on steel fabrications, to cutting tile, masonry, and sheet metal, to surface preparation and blending on bodywork and structural components. The M14 spindle thread is the industry-standard fitting for angle grinder accessories, ensuring compatibility with the widest possible range of grinding discs, cutting discs, flap discs, wire cups, and surface conditioning accessories from leading manufacturers.

A spindle lock makes disc changes fast and safe, holding the spindle stationary while the disc fixing is loosened and tightened — no need to jam the disc to counter-hold it. The adjustable guard can be repositioned to direct sparks and debris away from the operator, and provides essential protection during both grinding and cutting operations. The two-position side handle can be fitted to either side of the gearhead to suit left and right-handed users and different working positions, improving control and reducing fatigue during extended use.

Supplied complete with a reversible lock nut and flange, a disc changing spanner, and a generous 3m cable with BS plug, the AG850 is ready for immediate professional use. At just 1.85kg it is exceptionally light for an 850W grinder, making it one of the most comfortable 115mm grinders available for overhead work, extended grinding sessions, and precision applications where tool weight and balance directly affect the quality and accuracy of the result.

Specifications

FAQ Section

What disc size does the Draper AG850 use?
The AG850 uses 115mm diameter discs with a 22.2mm bore — the most common and widely available angle grinder disc size. This gives access to the broadest possible range of grinding discs, cutting discs, flap discs, wire cups, and surface conditioning accessories from virtually every major abrasives manufacturer.

What is the M14 spindle thread?
M14 is the industry-standard spindle thread size used across the vast majority of angle grinder accessories and backing pads worldwide. This ensures the AG850 is compatible with the widest range of aftermarket discs, backing pads, and specialist accessories without the need for adapters or proprietary fittings.

What does the two-position side handle offer?
The side handle can be fitted to either side of the gearhead, allowing both left and right-handed users to achieve a comfortable, balanced two-handed grip. Repositioning the handle also allows the grinder to be held at different angles for overhead work, horizontal grinding, and precision cutting tasks — improving both control and operator safety during varied applications.

Why is the AG850's weight significant?
At just 1.85kg, the AG850 is exceptionally light for an 850W angle grinder. Reduced weight directly translates to less fatigue during extended grinding sessions, improved control during precision work, and greater comfort during overhead and awkward-angle applications — all of which contribute to better results and safer operation over the course of a working day.

What applications is the AG850 suitable for?
The AG850 is suited to a broad range of grinding, cutting, and surface preparation tasks including weld grinding, rust and scale removal, cutting steel and non-ferrous metals, tile and masonry cutting, surface blending, paint and coating removal, and deburring — depending on the disc or accessory fitted.

What accessories are supplied with the AG850?
The AG850 is supplied with a reversible lock nut and flange for disc mounting, a disc changing spanner for tightening the lock nut, and a 3m cable with BS plug. The 3m cable provides a practical working length for site and workshop use without the immediate need for an extension lead.

How does the AG850 compare to a standard Draper angle grinder?
As part of the Draper Expert range, the AG850 is built to a higher specification than standard Draper grinders, with enhanced build quality, component selection, and durability suited to professional daily use. The Expert range designation indicates tools designed to withstand the more demanding expectations of tradespeople who rely on their equipment for sustained, high-frequency use.
