Good video, thank you, sir. * I was able to adjust the original metal guard on my grinder so that it did not hinder the operation (cutting depth) when installed into stand ... as well as the stand's own guard, which now safely rests upon the metal guard. I did not make the stand's guard too tight and will now move up and down freely providing more safety to the user (the stand's guard is always in close contact to the base plate that faces user).
Thank you for the tutorial. The stand appears to be a decent tool, but wish the grinder and the base clamp could be attached on the left side if desired. Cheers
Thank you. I searched and could not find any left sided stand. However you can do little modifications and convert to left side. You need to drill alternate holes on the base as well make slots for the saw blade and the clamping adjustment knob. Otherwise, you can make a new base from a machine shop.
Thought about it and realized the angle grinder blade would have to rotate the opposite direction because of the sparks. The stand in your video is pretty much as good as it can be. I'd have to build a cut-off saw with a motor that is located on the right side of the blade and rotates the blade clockwise to send spark away from the operator. Food for thought though. Cheers m8

All angle grinder motors rotate in anti-clockwise directions only
Yep, and that's why I'd have to build something entirely from scratch. Not too psyched about reinventing the wheel.
