Select the working end for your material

Write down the task before comparing products. Cutting a small metal tab, smoothing the edge of a ceramic piece and tracing a mark on glass each put a different part of the accessory in contact with the work. Search by both material and operation, then read the exact model's documentation. A nearby item from the same line can use a different abrasive, head geometry or holder.

For a cut-off wheel, compare diameter, thickness, mount and the maker's material list. Clearance matters at the planned cut. For grinding, compare the head profile against the surface you need to reach. For engraving, look at the contact area. A ball head and a narrow point contact the surface differently even when their shanks match.

For polishing in a recess, check whether the head can reach the surface without its shoulder or holder making contact. Compare the maker's material guidance for the exact felt, silicone or other polishing medium. Proxxon's US catalogue, for example, lists felt tips separately from its silicon-carbide polishers.

Can I choose a grinding stone by its color?

Use the named abrasive and the model specification. Color in a listing photograph can shift with lighting, and manufacturers may sell several profiles in a similar color. Check the intended material, head size and holder before choosing.
