This is what all UA-cam videos should be like. No annoying, never-ending intro and no babbling on about personal stuff nobody's interested in. Full marks to you, Karl.
I had a lot of old pipes and rebar to cut up and from what I read ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxPDBfLu68o58Aw85O_J-zIFfjJARBhp-3 this would be the tool for the job. Since I had never used one, I watched a couple of youtube videos and I'm so glad I did. Some really good safety tips, which I followed, and this tool did a splendid job. One good thing to know is the weight of the tool puts just about the right amount of pressure on the metal I was cutting, so I didn't have to use a lot of pressure, which is more likely to jam the tool. It made fast work of my job.
Been selling Industrial Tools and Abrasives for 42 years. I think this is an excellent tip and will be showing it to my Flap Disc Customers from now on. Thanks...!
That is a very good tip man, as i use flap disks for 90% of my work, this helps a lot. On a side note, the makita 700w grinder rocks, its extra comfortble in 1 hand palming the head of the grinder and in general vibration. Far more important than wattage.
I just figured that when I was in a hurry to cut a tile with granite cutter wheel with my angel grinder but the attachment is not precisely made and then I got this idea to add a lock nut as a base and added the wheel and locked it with spare lock nut, felt veru happy to this when someone also doing this and helping others, I will share that idea in my video, thank you brother for letting everyone know this you also motivated me to share my idea as a video. God is with you, you are very simple and humble what God wants from everyone.
nice thanks for that use it with no guard had a few cuts from it they cut real bad real fast..also i have tie wrapped my spanner to the cable so i never lose it
One of my grinders was like that. The arbor bolt was simply way too long, so the bolt would contact the work way before the edge of the guard, like in your video. Instead of using two arbor nuts, I just shortened the arbor bolt so it was only as long as it needed to be for all my attachments. It won't contact as flat as how you do it, due to the guard. But I figured you'd just glaze the disc if you try to hold it flat.
I don’t recommend this,but I never use the guard unless I’m using a cutting or sometimes a wire wheel.Like i stated “I don’t recommend” unless you trust that you have enough experience and trust your skills.Even I can have an accident but I’m prepared for the consequences.
be careful guys. i did this once (but by mistake) and the disk was not stable. it did a very annoying wobbling, the disk lasted much less than usual and of course it's not a safe way to use the machine.
#1: less thread holding the disc #2: you may accidentally use both "sides" of the rotating disc (shown at 1:10), this is dangerous because it can change the direction of the force that you use your arms with to hold against the grinder, in other words, it may surprise you by going the other way while grinding
BUT, you should check what type you are using, type 27 is for 0-15 degrees (which would work in this case). Type 29 is 15-30 degrees, which doesn't not fit your method
Best flap disc I ever used. Allot tougher. Plus they are trimmable for long use!!! I grind alllll day some time... Cheers! shop.lindecanada.com/shop/en/ca/disc-flap-fiberglass-1121576-131 40 grit is what I use....
I dont understand how this gets more use from the flap disc. Theres no written translation (subtitles), and your speech is very quiet. You're elevating the disc, but that's not making much difference, as the discs wear down evenly anyway. I have the same angle grinder.
Instead of only making contact with the outside edge of the flap disc, you can make contact with the flat of the disk, meaning more abrasive surface area and a little more use out of a disk.
i mean this looks rather dangerous, i'm pretty sure that locknut will just fly off at one point... and i mean i never had the problem of not being able to use the whole disk... it's just a matter of different angles... and it probably also depends on how big are the things you're grindin but... i mean i dunno
not possible, the grinder tightens the wheel when it's running. It's not even necessary to tighten it with the wrench; just turn until you can' t and you' re set.
I dont either for the work i do its just gets in the of cutting or grinding. And cutting wheels can explode, but if you use it properly chances are small.
I have been using grinder with the guard for many years now. So every time I remove the guard, I grind my fingers immediately. Or even when I look at the grinder without a guard, or think about it :D
@@KarlMetalworks Do you really need your fingers though? Some people think they are over-rated. Thanks for the video btw, where do you buy that centering thingy?
I know it's not very exciting but you really should work with a guard whenever possible. When (not if!) angle grinder disks come apart, they can be lethal. It's really not worth the extra convenience if you lose an eye or worse.
@@thengine7 Its stock lock nut, that goes with every grinder. You can buy some more in every hardware store, I just use the ones from my old destroyed angle grinders,

thanks!
True, the problem is YT monetize videos better at 11 minutes and that's why we see so much babbling to fill that time slot. Annoying as hell.
@@gugy68 i can't agree more.
First useful video I've seen after an hour of searching

This is the type of tip I am looking for. Simple, very useful, and no fuss. Well done.
Simple commonsense soloution right infront of my eyes that i did not see. Thanks bro!!

I really appreciate how you get right to the point and cover the subject well.
Super helpful as I just came in to see if there was anything I could do since the edge of my flap disk wore so quickly.
Very well done! Beats taking the guard off for sure!
Thanks a lot! It will probably save me a lot of time and resources over time. You're a PRO!

Just curious. Which city are you located in Czech Rep.?
Well hot dang, it's like they were designed to actually be used this way and I've just never known.
Excelente
Would a few washers be safe as a spacer?
Omg haha this is great thx
It not changed my life but it saved my eyes 😉
Helpful
nice!
genius 👌🏽
you can cut hard metals, but just a tip: you can also cut the part where you walk in and out of the clips in the video lol. anyways, nice TIP!
Artists have all kinds of ways to make their paints last longer.
Wow. Interesting
Cool.
Can someone change its disk so an angle grinder becomes a stucco/cement sprayer?
Correction: this DID change my life!
That's why I remove the guard. Unless it's the cutting disc, those are scary, put the guard on for those.
The first thing I do with a new small angle grinder is remove the guard. I find them a nuisance. I have had a couple of injuries though :(
❤️
Good....YeHoVaH Bless...
locuraaaaa barrilete cosmicooo
I take off the guard when using flap discs, that way you get more working space on the flap discs.
me too and i still have 8 fingers...
@@skipper1350 For the flap discs I would use without the guard but a guard must be in place when using cutting discs.
@@keearun ive seen a flap disk shatter before, its like shrapnel off a grenade

What your fixing is a bad design on the grinder and disc.
Call me nuts but i dont believe in using a guard so never knew this problem.
I dont either for the work i do its just gets in the of cutting or grinding. And cutting wheels can explode, but if you use it properly chances are small.
or like most of the rest of us do...remove the guard and you're good to go! :-D
