safety goggles
In an instruction sheet for safety goggles, the text says:
"Para trabajos con la *radial* es posible la utilización de unas gafas integrales".
Is this "any" "radial" tool, or is there a specific word? Couldn't find it in the engineering glossary. Thanks.

herramienta radial
If the CONTEXT cannot tell you, this would be the only alternative.
Note from asker:
| There's no more context- I'm assuming it's any kind or radial tool e.g sander. Cheers. |

El N3 del área de trabajo deberá responsabilizarse de que se cumplen las siguientes normas generales en aquellas operaciones que requieran el uso de esmeriladoras portátiles radiales:
*
Se seleccionará adecuadamente el estado de desgaste del disco y su idoneidad para el material al que se ha de aplicar.
*
Cerciorarse de que el disco gira en el sentido correcto y con la carcasa de protección sobre el disco firmemente sujeta.
*
Comprobar que el plato tuerca de apriete exterior queda enrasado (si el disco es de desbaste) o invertido (si el disco es de corte).
*
Se recomienda el uso de gafas panorámicas ajustadas o pantalla facial transparente, guantes de trabajo, calzado de seguridad contra riesgos mecánicos y protectores auditivos.
*
Durante la realización de los trabajos se procurará que el cable eléctrico descanse alejado de elementos estructurales metálicos y fuera de las zonas de paso del personal.
*
Si durante la operación existe el riesgo de proyección de partículas a terrenos o lugares con riesgo razonable de provocar un incendio, se apantallará con una lona ignífuga la trayectoria seguida por los materiales desprendidos.

circular saw
Gosh, I'd always translated this as circular saw, and now I'm having pause for thought. Actually once it was a sander (complete with goggles in that case). But it is definitely one of the options for you...
http://recursos.cnice.mec.es/bancoimagenes2/buscador/imagen.... Here we have a radial and here we have a sierra circular http://recursos.cnice.mec.es/bancoimagenes2/buscador/imagen....

Horticulturist
: An "angle grinder" is actually a sort of "circular saw", but not quite the same.

angle grinder
That is what we almost always refer to as "radial". Technically in Spanish would be "amoladora angular".

It can be used for cutting, roughing and brushing metala and stone materials without using water. It can also be used for sanding. The cutting/grinding device is a disc. (I own one of these tools and I amreading right off the instructions manual).

Usually, a circular saw is mounted on a board and the material to be cut is slipped through. A "radial" (angle grinder) is not mounted on a board, but it is a hand tool: http://www.tool-net.co.uk/p-335088/makita-ga9020kd-240v-9-an...

Note from asker:
| Thanks very much, but from context further down in the document I'm at a loss to know exactly what tool it is. |
| Thanks very much for taking the extra time to clarify things. I have changed my translation to "angle grinder", as you are so convincing. I only wish I could give you the points, but a pressing deadline made me use a "catch-all" (but wrong) translation. Hope I can return the favour sometime. |

: I was thinking it might be a rotary tool, but your links up above look like the right answer.
