    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.

  • @michelecrown2426

    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.

  • @CafeenMan
    @CafeenMan 7 років тому +2

    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.

    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.

    @ArcanePath360 7 років тому +3

    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.

    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

  • @spinapex2469
    @spinapex2469 7 років тому

    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.

    Thanks for the inspiration friend. Wanna get back into it when I have a better shop and exhaust system.

  • @irvininz1
    @irvininz1 6 років тому

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @theonlygamer4131
    @theonlygamer4131 7 років тому

    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
