The Plastic Grinder Nip Nut is a non-marking replacement flange nut designed for tile pros who miter edges with an angle grinder and want cleaner finishes with less risk of damage. Its cone-shaped profile helps the nut deflect away from the tile during tight-angle work, reducing the chance of edge chipping and eliminating metal-to-tile contact that can cause burn marks. Made from impact-resistant acetal plastic, it provides a safer, more forgiving interface than traditional steel back nuts.
