Many videos on UA-cam about this but this guy shows a brilliant technique - much cleaner and more accurate than all the others. Thanks for sharing this!!
Thanks..........I've also seen one chap on here cut a 5mm groove with an angle grinder, and then "snap" it off over a concrete block. Thank again very useful.
Great nice video thank you. More safety will be excellent with the use of a decent push stick to help hold the object in place and gloves. Im a new DIYr and have never even held an angle grinder yet. Looks like a very useful tool.
Perfect, thanks, that's what I wanted to know before I head out to pick up an angle grinder and a cutting wheel (I think it will be worth the money, as opposed to using a circular saw or rotozip).
Just completed my patio/ sidewalk radius using 16x16x2 pavers i grabbed a Bosch brand cutter (30 bucks) it cut thru those pavers like butter! Thanks again
Where do I get that diamond blade in usa? And would it work on diamond shape retaining wall block's? What's the thickness of the blade and brand & price?
I have never felt the need to when using a small grinder. I have had the same diamond blade for 10 years. It probably would be better to use water but It will make it harder to see your cut line when the dust turns to sludge.
If it can cut through pavers, why some advise not to use this to cut wood even with special discs for wood? they say it will break and the disc can hurt you.
Do to the fibrous nature of wood the blades bind a lot more, and once they do things go flying. Thats why its really not a good idea to cut wood with an angle grinder
I don't get it.. Angle Grinders can cut concrete, metal, tiles.. but can't cut wood? Why does everyone warn against cutting wood if it can cut concrete? Genuinely asking.
It can cut wood, but it is just very dangerous. And there are so many tools out there for cutting wood that the question becomes why risk it with an angle grinder? With a circular saw, jigsaw etc they have a base that the saw blade is always pulling the wood into, so if it binds it just gets pulled towards the tool and the solid metal base. If your cutting with an angle grinder and it binds then that piece of wood is just getting flung right back at you
I bought a supposedly safe high tech "wood cutting blade" for a cut I couldn't figure out how to do any other way. The grinder kicked back right into my crotch zone. No harm done, but nearly had a heart attack. Threw the blade out.
You can get a ‘multi material disc’ which will slice through thin ply or hard plastic sheet, and with some care also CLS stud work, but tbh a saw is better and safer on wood over half an inch thick.
Angle grinders are a “friction” type of saw. It will cut wood but will burn it/ there’s a chance it’ll catch fire. Wood saws are much much slower and have teeth to actually remove material as it cuts

Thanks 👍
Very helpful video clearly explained and shown.Thanks.

Great just what I wanted, never having used an angle grinder before and never seen one being used. Great stuff. Thanks.
No problem 👍 We try to help
Saw all the other vids on this subject and I must say, yours is the best.
For that I am Thankful.
Superb. Thank you for posting this. As an amateur these videos are very helpful!
Awesome- curving inside radius around a sidewalk this is just what i was looking for thanks bud

Thanks for making the video - You said at 1:10 about a link to the cutting disk - Sorry, cant find it ... any chance of posting it please - Chris
Thanks. Super useful, clear video.
Glad it was helpful!

Nice work!
Bloomin awesome ,thank you so much.Great presentation, you made it so good ,even I think I can do it .😊
Good illustration, thanks

0:30 A small correction. “Inox” means stainless steel, meaning it can cut hard stainless. Iron Oxide is rust!!! Carry on…(edited for time stamp).
like your suggestion of creating a little nick in the brick
do you add water from a garden hose to the area your cutting to keep the dust down and extend the blades life ?
I have never felt the need to when using a small grinder. I have had the same diamond blade for 10 years. It probably would be better to use water but It will make it harder to see your cut line when the dust turns to sludge.
It probably is unsafe to do. I think I've seen it forbidden in the manual, due to risk of electric shock.
Does it has to be a 6ah battery?
Thanks for posting!
Great video
Thanks
Your Welcome

Just remember these are 2 and a half times the speed of a wood saw
Thanks 🤙🏽
Pleasing
👍👍👍
Liked "Thumbs up!"
And hearing protection. You'll thank me later.
