Searched for a good build idea for the grinder. Saw this one early on and watched dozens after this one. Came back and watched this a few times. Best out of all the others. I've already fabricated all the parts, just gotta weld it all together

If you watch the publishing dates of the videos? You'll notice that this also was the original version.
@ I'll have to pay attention. This video is actually the only one with this design that I found. All others were different. It was only after I made it did a bunch of other videos with this design start coming into recommendations. UA-cam gave me the original first. 😊
I appreciate how you have maintained all the functionality of the various tasks an angle grinder is used for and designed in the quick-change aspect which is so important. Great!
For the person who doesn't have bench grinder or metal cutoff machines, this idea fills those roles nicely, and you could make long straight cuts if you use a straight edge too. The way he made the tool, and how he put this video together gives me the impression that Tuomas is good at whatever he puts his mind to. Good stuff.
Tuomas, I'm seriously impressed that the tool manufacturers haven't grabbed your designs and sold them as their own. Good job once more, and I will be making this for my own grinder.
I was a shop teacher as the Americans call it.I spent a lot of time teaching simple ideas to students. Your design ticks all the boxes. It is safe,simple, visually pleasing, easy to make, easy to fit and works extremely well. Do you have industrial design in your background? Your work is brilliant.
I rent an expensive tile saw to cut granite. It was a big struggle and I end up finishing my project with same grinder. Your attachment to the grinder could make my next project a lot easier.
At the start of this I was thinking "What's he trying to achieve here? What's the point?" Now I'm thinking this has to be one of the best, most useful tool-making videos I've seen. Turning your grinder into a circular saw, chopsaw and bench-grinder. I see adverts for low-cost commercial versions appearing above where I am typing, but they don't have the fun of actually making it! Thanks for sharing.
Excellent..!! Toumas, I really liked the addition to be able to take advantage of our grinder, I am an amateur to work with metal and make additions to make our life easier when working any project. So I decided to take more advantage of it and taking as inspiration your video, make my new addition, just today to prove that it works, thank you very much for sharing. Greetings from Mexico.

Cristian Garrido Thanks buddy. Im glad if you found it usefull. 😊
Awesome build, bro! The chopsaw/bench grinder part at the end blew me away! You really should consider patenting & marketing this if it's not already out there.
After I bought my everlast welder I found I needed a grinder. Now I have 5 grinders and I am for sure going to make one of your creations for at least one of them. Thank you for the great idea and sharing
That's really cool! I think I would add a removable spring to hold the grinder up when using the cut-off fence feature but only if I were cutting a bunch of stuff at the same time. For an item or two I'd leave it the way it is.
Nice work! A handy tip for restrikes on that SMAW electrode....keep a file handy and a couple strokes over the end of the rod, after each tack will make for real easy restarts...
Incredible Job, great creativity and easy to understand and trying-to-do project!!! Suggestion s for all is to go to the indicated site Tuomas shows. Excelente, muchas gracias desde Buenos Aires!!
Perfect Idea and cool job. The only thing I think is to be changed - the lever - it`s too close to the basement and it`s not convenienn to use it while cutting. But its only my opinion< of course.
It's the simple solutions that are the best. Like E=MC2, simplifying things makes humans happier. You should be a tool designer as this is a great add on. It's the people who work with these tools often who know what they should do. Someone else said that drills should have flat tops instead of curved so you can press them against a vertical straight edge and get 90 degree drill press like precision from it. It's so simple yet no one has done it.
Amazing idea, just awesome! I think it wont be long till u see it in tool shops everywhere.. You should protect the design asap, it has so much potential!!
I really like the video , i really need this , i had a couple of accidents where i dropped the grinder (fatigue and overworked lol) and it went crazy on the floor, hit me in the knee , right thumb and thigh lol , my problem is i'm left handed lol , almost all of the time when im working , i forget that i'm tired , my hand almost all the time gives up and let the grinder go lol
now all I have to do is get a brake press ---- then the arc welder ---- and then o course a plasma cutter which is what I needed before I got sick of breathing in grinder wheel gas. Actually I am 65 and jealous. Thanks for the inspiration friend. Wanna get back into it when I have a better shop and exhaust system.
Hi Tuomas : I do really ignore where you live and I like your creation.This is my humble opinion : Your grinder attachment is worthy of a patent. Nice and inspirational work......👍
Thank you Tuomas, You are getting quite famous all around the world. Watched your video last year and frankly was intimidated my all the cutting and welding. Anyway I gave it a go using my Milwaukee grinder. The only issue I had was that I picked a very thin material for the stand and also the plate strips did not have enough incline in my grinder.Anyway I still messed with the design and ended up using the plate from a small cordless circular saw and attaching the grinder with a door hinge (Screw grinder strips to top of hinge, then screw bottom hinge to plate make sure is all squared) Thanks again Tuomas let us know if you can come up with a design that you can using only hardware instead of welding since most people either lack the skill or the resources.

Thank you for the comment. And no welding- version sounds a good idea. Thank you for that. 😊👍
Nice one Bro...may I ask what is the diameter of your cutting disc? is it 4 inch or 7 inch...I did copy your design...just when I found out that my disc wont reach to the plate to be cut...I am using 4 inch angle grinder...
I am confused between getting a Jig Saw or an Angle Grinder (as it can cut wood too like a mini Circular Saw) for small DIY projects... What would you recommend?
5 років тому+1
I think that jig saw is better option, if you work mostly with wood. Both of those are tools that i count for the "first things to buy" category.
Hello Tuomas Soikkeli, my name is Cristiano, I'm from Brazil and I really like your projects, congratulations. Would I have to tell you how much you cut the plates off that support? Hug ...

I'd apply for a patent on that...AND QUICK. There would be a serious market for such an adapter and it literally turns an angle grinder into a smaller circular saw. Take it from someone who uses hand/power tools every day that if I can throw one less tool into my bag and still get the job done, I'm a happy camper.
Beautifully done sir. If only there was a slightly different version of this video where all the parts were store bought instead of custom machined. I don't know a single person with all of the equipment necessary to make this as is.
I wonder, had you turned the tool over (so the body would be to the left when looking at eh exposed cutting disc), if the sparks would not be directed away from the operator.
7 років тому
Charles Senf No. I have used to hold that kind of tools right hand forwarded.
That's sweet! I was thinking about making a stand and turning my 7 inch grinder into a chop saw of sorts but I like this better. Another thing on my to-do list.
Only major issue with this is for safety and also ease of cutting this is not good because the wheel is turning counter-clockwise seen from the side of the open disc wich means that the grinder could pop out of your material and scratch its surface

the best DIY adapter I have seen so far....congratulation.

Of all the DIY angle grinder attachments, this is the best! Took a lot of things into consideration to make it very versatile. Thanks.

Very slick, any dimensions/plans available? This is the first time I'm asking ANYONE for plans !! Consider a patent or trying to market it.
That's really cool! I think I would add a removable spring to hold the grinder up when using the cut-off fence feature but only if I were cutting a bunch of stuff at the same time. For an item or two I'd leave it the way it is.
Thank you very much for this fantastic and original design. I'll be making mine today and will call it TOFiG. Best regards.
You can tell dudes got skills by the "I've done this before"not"I've seen this done before on UA-cam"video
I love this complete build in one video. Enough info to build one for myself. Thank you
Nice work! A handy tip for restrikes on that SMAW electrode....keep a file handy and a couple strokes over the end of the rod, after each tack will make for real easy restarts...

Гениально! Просто, красиво, аккуратно и функционально! Спасибо за идею.
Hello I am from Russia. Thank you for the video. Great job. Good luck.
коля смирноф Thanks for the comment. Im from your neighbour country, Finland. 😊 Too bad that i don't speak Russia very well. Good luck to you too.
Одно из самых простых,но очень удачных решений которые я видел!Молодец мужик!Есть,конечно,минусы,но легко исправить.Возьму себе на заметку.
Incredible Job, great creativity and easy to understand and trying-to-do project!!! Suggestion s for all is to go to the indicated site Tuomas shows. Excelente, muchas gracias desde Buenos Aires!!
Восхитительно! Великолепная работа руками удачные самоделки. подписываюсь.
for holding that grinder with one hand using a cutoff wheel those are pretty straight cuts
Великолепно! Без лишней болтовни, все по делу!
Nice utilization of Angle grinder as circular saw cutter(more safe way)
Hello, very good. What are the measurements of the base?
I'm glad I found this video. This is exactly what I had in mind. Thanks for sharing.
Perfect Idea and cool job. The only thing I think is to be changed - the lever - it`s too close to the basement and it`s not convenienn to use it while cutting. But its only my opinion< of course.
Thanks for sharing your grinder hack. I just finished doing mine and it works great. I even use it as mini circular saw. Thanks again bro...
This is about the coolest thing since sliced bread and flip top beer! Thanks for the upload

Thanks for the inspiration friend. Wanna get back into it when I have a better shop and exhaust system.
looks lovely, really nicely made, but I usually just put a ferrous disc in my circular saw.
brilliant idea!!! would you sell one??
That is pretty darn clever. I think I could build this without much trouble. Nice work and thanks for sharing.
Hi Tuomas :

Hi Toumas, can you please put the sizes of the parts, or a ruler next to it? thank you
Автору респект! Хорошее видео и очень полезная доработка! Сделаю так же) Спасибо за идею! Дешево, универсально и удобно! Класс!
Hats off pal ,super good work . I wish I could have one like this . tks
hi can i please have the plan and measurements of the project, thank you.
Gabriel Legaspi Hi. Im away atm. Im going to make instructable next week or wknd. I'll be in touch then. Thanks for watching!
For woodworking circular saws, the blade goes upwards as the blade contacts the material. For this one, it's downwards. Is this the correct direction?
Приветствую, друг! Спасибо из России за умное приспособление. Пригодится многим самодельщикам!
Did it today, it's on de side of my welding table.. tank you for sharing this project!! cheers!
Job well done! How much would you charge for this attachment? I'm being serious!
отличная конструкция... Почему для крепления используются шпильки с гайками а не болты?
Tuomas, thanx for great video and idea!
Its really simple, compact and multiply functional attachment for grinder. And its safety.
More tnx!
Евгений Ушкалов Thank you for your nice comment!
buenos dias aqui en Costa Rica favor dar las medidas de cada pieza en cms o pulgadas gracias y lo felicito por sus buenas ideas
Nice one Bro...may I ask what is the diameter of your cutting disc? is it 4 inch or 7 inch...I did copy your design...just when I found out that my disc wont reach to the plate to be cut...I am using 4 inch angle grinder...
I was going to build a stationary 4'' chop saw, not now . . .going to make one like yours!
Dam good design, glad you put this out. . . Thanks

Wow great video! That back stop was an awesome idea, mini chop saw!
louis dellanno Thanks!
Nice and uncomplicated tool...I really like it..!
Can we install 355 mm (14 inches) diameter metal cutting disc in this angle grinder
Yes my friend as I had told you before, your creativity an innovation, never sleep. Greetings and my respects from the Caribbean Shore.
I have seen many versions of this, but nothing as versatile as what you have made. Great work.
What is the size of base plate & hing bolt
Love the work. Btw, what is the welder used in this video?
What are the dimensions of the plate, or can I buy one from you?
Excellent Design! Thank you for sharing!
This is BRILL where can I bye one in the UK please Many Thanks Great video
Great idea.Great fabrication.Want to build one.Thank you for sharing.
Nice! I really like your attention of details
i suggest you to apply for patent and sell this design. there is a huge market for consumers. all the best. good design and creativity.
Muy buena idea y se ve que funciona, felicitaciones. Es posible tener la medidas de la piezas?
здорово. привет из Латвии,I am from Latvija.thank you for the video.super.

hey could you upload the plans or make a video about the measurements please thanks
Mad Max No. Sorry. I don't make plans from this kind of things. (responsibility issue) Everyone needs to make them by themself if wanted.

Best one of these I've seen. Also, the cleanest work.
Good idea,,
can order it to Indonesia and how much is it
Nice...you have great control of your tools...and do a nice job! I've used the skill saw for similar jobs.
Konely King Thanks. Yeah me too. But, this is a part one, i have other reasons to make it. 😊
Which model is the bosch grinder you use in this video?
I'd apply for a patent on that...AND QUICK. There would be a serious market for such an adapter and it literally turns an angle grinder into a smaller circular saw. Take it from someone who uses hand/power tools every day that if I can throw one less tool into my bag and still get the job done, I'm a happy camper.
Beautifully done sir. If only there was a slightly different version of this video where all the parts were store bought instead of custom machined. I don't know a single person with all of the equipment necessary to make this as is.
Can i use this also for cutting flywood.
Yes. This is the finished build: ua-cam.com/video/bOK5l0VdYI4/v-deo.html
U also fabricate the shield? That was nice many people said it so dangerous to use grinder as circular saw maybe this wild help
What was the blade you use to shape at the beginning?
Well impressed and on a genuine note, if you selling them wiĺ buy 2???
Thanks
Wow you have a bright future ahead of you, I hope you make millions.
I wonder, had you turned the tool over (so the body would be to the left when looking at eh exposed cutting disc), if the sparks would not be directed away from the operator.
Charles Senf No. I have used to hold that kind of tools right hand forwarded.
Hellow, do you sell this product on some site on internet?
That's sweet! I was thinking about making a stand and turning my 7 inch grinder into a chop saw of sorts but I like this better. Another thing on my to-do list.
Only major issue with this is for safety and also ease of cutting this is not good because the wheel is turning counter-clockwise seen from the side of the open disc wich means that the grinder could pop out of your material and scratch its surface
Good idea sir...
Can i buy the tool?
Thank you.
Sorry, i don't make things for sale. Just share my toughts making videos.
