Nice angle grinder guide and well built Bruce. One of the best things I ever bought was a cordless grinder, so much easier to use without worrying where the cord is. Expensive but worth it I believe.
@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 the grinder I have is an own brand one from a store called Lidl. Their power tools are sold under the Parkside name and they all use the same batteries, 20 volt 2, 3 and 4ah versions are available. The tools are actually made by Erbauer in Germany, Lidl being a German company as well. All their tools carry a 3 year guarantee and I'm told they are excellent at honouring any claims, even if slightly over the warranty period. I paid £29 for the bare grinder as I already had four 2ah and four 4ah batteries for a drill and impact which I've had for a number of years now. A 4ah battery costs more than the grinder. 😆
@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 I forgot to say that the grinder came in a blow moulded carry case a with side handle which has a storage slot in it for the pin wrench, a cut off disc and a grinding disk. The grinder will fit in the case with a 4ah battery attached and there is also a slot for a spare 4ah battery, and another space for a charger. For the price at the time I simply couldn't resist it. I also have 3 corded 4.5 inch grinders as well as a corded 9 inch Parkside grinder which is also awesome and wasn't very expensive when I bought it. This setup saves having to constantly change discs, wire brushes and so on.
I looked up that brand and looked at some of those setups. They look like a nice tool. There are just so many brands, styles and sizes to choose from it makes it a little overwhelming to make a decision. 😀
I dunno about running my fingers that close to that but good video. Have to pickup a new HF cheapie grinder cause last one burnt up when it jumped on my chest, luckily it was a flap disk.
You're right Boris, fingers are pretty close. I should probably use a push stick for those tiny pieces. Glad you didn't get hurt with your grinder. I need to pick up a new one myself. Mine is pretty wore out and weak but it's been a great little grinder for what I paid for it.
That blade is really highly tpi and moving pretty slow, so while you might nick yourself, you’re not going to loose a finger. But always good to show partiality to the side of caution.
I don't like giving up advice or tips something bad always comes out of it you know how it goes man I want to direct you to a channel this guy started out exactly like you .. he's gotten to incredible better with this videos thing really of cool guy now has the cnc table from LANGMUIR SYSTEMS I when and got one the pro woooow working on it let hard times . LOOK AT THE THINGS THIS GUY IS DOING. I S E E Y O U DOING WOOOOOOOW WOW RIGHT ON DUDE. his name is Mike festiva that the spelling videos ck out. The being ! ! ! // a most. \\ as well as now. Had little now seems like everyone lots for Big CO. what's in. Real cool for him. yes great guy . Hope he shows down some. Ck him out.
Nice build, but too many dangerous practices in this vid tho😔 the less experienced could get in to trouble, for example free handing a workpiece into a cutting disc, just no. Would you consider clamping a circ saw saw down and bringing work into it? The work can get caught and dragged into the cut in a microsecond, with your fingers behind it. Sorry to come across as Safety Police
That was a fairly labor intensive build. Nice job, and a nice idea. Couple of questions... did your HF Grinder come with the top position handle location, or did you tap and thread it yourself? It’s really handy to have, especially for us lefties. Also, we’re you using your Yes or PrimeWeld Tig? Thanks Bruce!
Hi Mark, the little HF grinder came with two holes for the handle position. One on each side. It looked like the top but that's just because the grinder is on it's side. Either way it is nice for using either hand. I used the YesWelder for building this cutting guide.
Thanks John! It is quite a useful addition to an angle grinder. You can make one with a stick welder. That would be fun I think! Let me know how it goes if you decide to make one. 👍
That would be nice Mat. I've considered it but I currently have a little Delta 1X30 sander that does most of what I need. It would be nice to have a larger one with more power sometimes.

I've been considering a cordless grinder Thomas. What cordless grinder do you have if you don't mind me asking?

Sounds like a nice set up and it's nice to have the batteries that fit all the tools I think.

I agree with you Mark. I tend to have some shop habits that aren't considered safe to a lot of people. I do still have all my fingers though. 👍😀

Puting an old grinder disc you could shape a drill bit toó with tour ad
Yes you could
Angle grinder, circular saw and drill are probably my most used tools. Great video !!!
Thanks Joe, I appreciate it 👍
👍
Thanks! 👍
That's really cool, I love the special feature thing you added it looks really useful. Now I gotta try to make one with my stick welder lol

@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 I'll forsure update once I get around to trying to build it.
Awesome! Looking forward to it.
Next on your list there should be a table belt sander.
That would be nice Mat. I've considered it but I currently have a little Delta 1X30 sander that does most of what I need. It would be nice to have a larger one with more power sometimes.
Way to go Bruce
Thanks Antonio! How's that aluminum TIG welding going?
Great build, thanks for the video
Thank you and you're welcome Jorge. 👍
