This is what I love about your channel. You build expensive tools at a much lower cost with old dirty tools to assemble it. This man, ladies and gentlemen proves that you don’t need multi thousand dollar cnc machines or laser cutters. God speed good man
Great build.......and a great idea. I always am a little leary using an angle grinder as a cutoff tool especially cutting small pieces without cutting my fingers. The video is very explanatory how to assemble. I need one of these, I will build one of these. I've enjoyed all your videos I've seen. I like your vise on your workbench. Keep up the great videos.
I love your videos. I am going to upgrade my cut off wheel though to a diamond blade cut off, because I'm getting tired of smelling carborundum. I use an angle grinder a lot. I just never thought of making it a chop saw. Very well done
Thank you, Ted! I'm glad you're enjoying the channel. I hear you about the smell. I actually where a mask rated for fumes when I use it anymore. I used to make a cut here or there without the mask, but I figure those add up over the years and probably aren't great for my lungs. I've never thought of putting a different type of blade on there, but I'll look into it. Thanks for sharing the idea!
This looks good. I like the way you put this together, especially the way you wired it directly to the power switch. To make it a little more versatile I would add the ability to do miter cuts. I see a couple of ways to do it by either making the grinder movable or by making the fence into a removable plateform and then making a miter cut plateform. For durability and safety I would install a metal plate were the Sparks will hit. I am planning a small shop on my back porch and thus is definitely an item I will be making. Thanks.
Iv'e seen a few videos of different angle grinder stands but this one I like the best because of the much lower pivot point of the carriage for the angle grinder. I especially like the detachable front pieces as that allows for lots of different attachments, clever idea. :-)
Good vid.Sturdy looking and not over complicated.Did notice as I was watching a modification I would/will make. A chamfer at the bottom of the vice jaws for holding bolts and bars a little more securely
Not bad at all, I’ve been trying to figure out a good easy way to deal with cutting rebar without buying expensive equipment, this seems like a good idea. Wonder what size tube steel or angle iron I could cut with it.
Thanks for the feedback - I actually can’t move it back any further. The guard is limited by the position of the set screw...it’s as far back as it can move.
Great build and video. All the less expensive angle grinders I have come across say not to use them with cut-off wheels. But, it seems everyone does. Any idea why the manuals state this? Thanks
Lol yea yea...mean 😋Perhaps I'll get to it someday. I've just built all new workbenches and an outdoor aviary for my parrots. The 9" drill press powered sanding disk I tried to make a few months ago was a FAIL. It just wouldn't run true. I am no Goddess of the 90° angle, I guess 🙁
I hear you on the 90 degree angle issue. The technique I used in my video took me a long time to figure out, and several failed attempts. Now though, with the technique of using an outer plate to fix the shaft at 90, I haven't had one fail yet, and I've made 5 discs! If you wind up giving it a try, I'd love to know how it works for you.
Thanks! That’s exactly what I was thinking! If I could weld, I might have done it differently, but I’m pretty happy how this has been working. Thanks again, and welcome to the channel!
I don’t always buy harbor freight tools, but when I do I get spare angle grinders. Last time I was there I grabbed two for a total of 20 bucks with a coupon. Can’t go wrong.
Ummm I beg to differ my good man, some of us can turn down a $10 angle grinder. because i hate changing disks I always have 3 angle grinders loaded on my bench, cutting, grinding and flapper.for years I used the $10 HF grinders, typically each would last a year or more of regular weekend project use, however the last 3 i bought were all dead within 3 months so i don't buy the $10 ones any more, i bucked up and bought 3 of the chicago electric grinders and they've been holding up good for almost a year now. sometimes a deal is not a deal in the long run.....
Rewatching this video as I'm gonna make a similar and seeing it in operation on your bench gives me an idea. I love the built in ruler to your table. I'm wondering about a bottom cleat on small tools like this so it rests in the same spot on the table, a plexiglass viewing window and you could use your ruler on the table to make your measurements. Trying to figure out other small tools that would be helpful to use the same ruler, a drill press and maybe pocket hole machine is all that comes to mind, thoughts?
Your design is best and optimised one as the side from where you feed the steel allows the largest diameter pipe to be cut. Even professional angle grinder feeds material the other way which is wrong
Of course, like and subscribe! And... one opinion: please remade it to angle-cutter with built-in protractor. And add vertical limiter for depth regulation with ruler. Result - you can make straight and slanted grooves. Also you can use circular saw instead of cut-off wheel, for woodworking. Waiting for video)
@@OneMinuteWorkbench Aah... and one more thing. I'm not american guy, and very very try to explain in English, sorry if I have any mistakes. It's really hard to speak on technical area.
the blade allignment issue is an interesting quality control "non-issue" since it's a tool meant to be freehand articulated. still it's in convenient for such an attachment project.
Very clean build, nicely documented. Thanks for sharing. Do you have any concern re the volume of sparks generated with a wood base and/or its use in an area where you also do woodworking? Or am I just being too "cautious"?
Thank you! And well, as they say, you can never be "too cautious". I can say though that I haven't experienced any fires breaking out, and I've generated a lot of sparks. Check out the 3rd (last) video in my wood shed series. You can see that I cut a giant pile of conduit with no problems at all. Here's a link: ruclips.net/video/qjQA4l1S338/видео.html I hope this helps!
That's a great point. I mostly only cut things to length, because I don't do a lot of metal work (I don't do any welding, for example). I did however leave the fence platforms removable & replaceable just in case I ever wanted to add a vise that will allow for angle cuts. You never know!
i want to make something like this, but what's your thought about plywood vs mdf? which one is better for this kind of project? i'm still quite new to this so anyone answering will be very helpful!
Just for future knowledge, hot glue could have been used to hold the clamp on the rounded edge of the hinge instead of filing it flat. Just in case you wanted it to stay rounded.
Nice work, but again, you do need several other larger machinery in your workshop to achieve good results. Most people don't have the space or machinery to make great DIY tools and equipment, so I'm waiting to see someone make a compact multi functional workstation where the machinery used in this video can be almost one multifunctional unit using absolute minimal space.
Thank you and thanks for the feedback! Although I'm not sure fully I understand....the whole point of my channel is using minimal tools in minimal space. My girlfriend and I have a two-car garage, and we both park in it, so all my tools have to fit around the cars. Have a look at my workbench video here: ruclips.net/video/SKOCpNIV2Is/видео.html I'd love to hear what you think. Thanks again!
also, I wonder if a sliding mechanism could be built in. achieved either by allowing the grinder to move, or by allowing the product to move (w/ a sliding jig)??
Thanks guys - I left the fence removable, that way in case I ever wanted to add angle cutting ability in the future, I'll be able to. FYI ~ I haven't yet. I don't do any welding (yet), so most of my metal cutting needs are for straight cuts. Anyway, I hope this helps!
The blade cut a groove into the bottom plate on the first use, but it doesn't go all the way through. The angle grinder's platform makes contact with the thicker portion of the base, which restricts how far down the blade can go. You can see where the angle grinder's platform makes contact with the base from around 9:20 to 9:30
Michael, it depends on what you have near you, but generally look for it at hardwood stores. Home Depot and Lowes won't usually carry it. Do a Google search for Baltic Birch and the name of your city...that should start you down the right path. I hope this helps!
Can you use an angle grinder as a replacement for the drill on your DIY disk sander? I dont have a spare drill ... but i do have a spare angle grinder not being used by my uncle
Hmmm...I'm guessing you probably could. The tough part would be figuring out how to attach a spindle to the angle grinder though. I drill has a chuck, which makes it easy. Let me know if you think of something - I'd be interested to see it!
Daedelus, I didn't have to - there is no real "safety switch"! In fact, it's pretty much the opposite of a safety switch, it stays locked in the "on" position unless you press it a certain way to release it. So I just locked it in the "on" position, and only control it with the switch I installed. Seems a lot safer to me!
That's too bad (though good to work with in this application), both models I have do require a "two-hand or multi-finger placement" safety action. Hose clamps it is!
Sounds like you're going to build one - let me know how it turns out! For what it's worth, the one I used is a $15 one from Harbor Freight...it might be worth it just to have a stand alone tool.
Indeed I might, it looks quite sturdy and easy to use and build. I've got two angle grinders myself (Hornbach (Pattfield) and Lidl (Powerfix) brands). One of them (Pattfield) without speed control, which is quite annoying, but perfect for cuttingdisks. I am however looking to go one step further, and that is to make a "turnable" option for 45 degree cuts. Maybe an idea for a DIY Instructable as well? (hint hint). (edit: spelling)
I made the fences removable exactly for that reason. I usually only make straight cuts, but wanted the option to upgrade the fence and clamp in the future in case I started making angled cuts more often.
10 bucks! that's incredible! We are always envious of the good prices you have in the US (I'm in New Zealand). I'm pretty new to your channel but I really enjoy the shop built tools and jigs etc that you make.
@gimik2 I found one just now online for $NZ36 (USD25) - It's the kind of tool I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole so I get your point on the quality issue. But as you say - with infrequent or light use they can end up being a real bargain that lasts for years.
I've noticed a consistency in your projects and I'm wondering if about the urethane coats. You always apply 6 coats. Most urethanes suggest 3. Is 6 an arbitrary number or is there a logic to it? As in, is there any particular reason you don't use 5 or 7 coats?
Patrick, I normally do around 6 coats just because that's usually when the piece starts to look finished. Sometimes I only get to 5, and on the rare occasion I only get to 4. Likewise, I sometimes get to 7 or very rarely 8. It also depend on the material I'm finishing. Some things are better suited to taking fewer coats, somethings require a lot more. I've almost never done only 3 coats, but I could see that being the case when going over a very dense hardwood. All of the projects I've been doing lately have been Baltic Birch, and it is like a sponge. The first 3 coats pretty much just soak in and start forming the base for the next few layers that will be the actual finish. Does this make sense?
@@OneMinuteWorkbench that makes perfect sense. Most of the hardware stores around here sell Russian birch plywood, instead of Baltic birch, so it's even more of a sponge. Also, Russian birch has a greater potential for having the odd void buried in the lower layers. Fortunately, at least one store sells oak plywood for the same price as the birch, so that's become my go-to material. Less spongy, but every time I go over 4 coats of urethane, I seem to get a surface that starts feeling plastic-y. But now I know my projects made from birch should probably get a couple more coats. Thanks for the info! On a related note, I recently started ordering free solid hardwood flooring samples from various distributors. The samples are to small for most projects. Still, they're the perfect size for add-ons like knobs. Like me, you seem to prefer wood knobs over store-bought plastic ones. This is an easy and free way to make them from hickory, acacia, mahogany, etc... which adds a nice bit of contrast and elegance to the finished piece. Great videos, by the way. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next.
Nice nice, I will try it, cause I can use it for wood work, mostly I don't have to take those big heavy tools around, hmmmm a grinder what diversity, I wonder, router too?? Lol
Sorry for the late reply - I can get really backed up on comments. I'm not sure where you're located, so it's tough to know for sure. That said, Google is your friend 😉 I hope this helps!
I have blueprints available for the sander, but not the chop saw yet. They should be on the website within a few weeks. Here's a link for the sander: oneminuteworkbench.com/product/drill-powered-disc-sander/
I have long been interested in your creativity and I am your subscriber.I'm interested in the question.What thickness of plywood do you use for your projects? Thanks.
I thought that as well, but unfortunately, this model has a stop that prevents it from going any further. It was already rotated as far as it would go. I hope this makes sense!
So far so good! I made dozens of cuts in galvanized conduit for my lumber shed video with no issues. If you're interested in watching, here's a link: ruclips.net/video/qjQA4l1S338/видео.html I hope this helps!

You can see where the angle grinder's platform makes contact with the base from around 9:20 to 9:30

@@OneMinuteWorkbench Не за что!
Сам сейчас в процессе изготовления подобного стола, только для большой болгарки. Поэтому уже пришел к этой идее. :-))
What did you use to bypass the safety / original 'on' switch?
Daedelus, I didn't have to - there is no real "safety switch"!

Likewise, I sometimes get to 7 or very rarely 8. It also depend on the material I'm finishing. Some things are better suited to taking fewer coats, somethings require a lot more. I've almost never done only 3 coats, but I could see that being the case when going over a very dense hardwood. All of the projects I've been doing lately have been Baltic Birch, and it is like a sponge. The first 3 coats pretty much just soak in and start forming the base for the next few layers that will be the actual finish. Does this make sense?
@@OneMinuteWorkbench that makes perfect sense. Most of the hardware stores around here sell Russian birch plywood, instead of Baltic birch, so it's even more of a sponge. Also, Russian birch has a greater potential for having the odd void buried in the lower layers. Fortunately, at least one store sells oak plywood for the same price as the birch, so that's become my go-to material. Less spongy, but every time I go over 4 coats of urethane, I seem to get a surface that starts feeling plastic-y. But now I know my projects made from birch should probably get a couple more coats. Thanks for the info!
On a related note, I recently started ordering free solid hardwood flooring samples from various distributors. The samples are to small for most projects. Still, they're the perfect size for add-ons like knobs. Like me, you seem to prefer wood knobs over store-bought plastic ones. This is an easy and free way to make them from hickory, acacia, mahogany, etc... which adds a nice bit of contrast and elegance to the finished piece.
Great videos, by the way. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next.
Thanks for the tip! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos!
When will plans be out.

Sorry for the late reply - I can get really backed up on comments. I'm not sure where you're located, so it's tough to know for sure. That said, Google is your friend 😉 I hope this helps!

Are you saying, "Pin Nails" ?
Yes, at several points in the video.
I would like you to send me the measurements, I want to make a support for sander.
thank you.
I have blueprints available for the sander, but not the chop saw yet. They should be on the website within a few weeks. Here's a link for the sander: oneminuteworkbench.com/product/drill-powered-disc-sander/
Fantástico
I have long been interested in your creativity and I am your subscriber.I'm interested in the question.What thickness of plywood do you use for your projects? Thanks.
Thank you, and thank you for subscribing! It depends on the project, but I used 1/2" (12mm) for this one. I hope this helps!
why don't you want to hold the pieces together with your free hand while you're pinning them....hurts like hell doesn't it.....lol
😂
good tanks you shering
No problem! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Now why didn't that part of my brain develop?
I'm sure it's in there somewhere!
I feel your pain!
It would have been easier to loosen the guard and spin it to the needed position rather than modifying the whole unit to fit the guard.
I thought that as well, but unfortunately, this model has a stop that prevents it from going any further. It was already rotated as far as it would go. I hope this makes sense!
@@OneMinuteWorkbench Aaaahhhh OK.
Thanks, YeHoVaH Bless...
Thank you!
Not a simpler project available?
Sep 23, 2018... Buy the plans here: Coming Soon! ????
lol...no wonder that one hasn't been selling very well 😂 Link has been updated!
otimo trabalho
Cutting metal on this can be denger bocouse
So far so good! I made dozens of cuts in galvanized conduit for my lumber shed video with no issues. If you're interested in watching, here's a link: ruclips.net/video/qjQA4l1S338/видео.html I hope this helps!
But don't has angle cutting!
True. I did however make the fences removable so that functionality could be added in the future. Thanks for the feedback!
хорошая работа. лайк
Спасибо! Я рада что тебе нравится!
