What does it do?

I have a book showing it used to abrade the high spots on a concrete
surface; how does this use compare to an orbital sander?

Thanks

Orbital sander is good for finishing wood. Angle grinder can be used to sand
heavy rust, cut steel, grind a weld smooth. It is much more heavy duty.

Agreed, an angle grinder is more agressive.

And when you consider the number of attachments you can get for it it
is a very useful tool to have around.

Do like me and buy both.

They are two tools with different uses.

A right angle grinder with a diamond cup doesn't even come close to a
orbital sander with even the best sandpaper on concrete.
