From someone who's spent thousands of hours using a mini grinder - when using sanding disks, they're generally backed by a mesh reinforced rubber disk with a leather or velcro surface to glue or velcro the sanding disk to. If you blow a sanding disk or pad at 13000rpm, it will flake some pieces off and give you plenty of time to stop the grinder and change the disks. At 13000, a compact disk will send glasslike shards all over the place and if someone's in the path, they're going to get hurt, or killed. This is one of the stupidest suggestions I've ever seen on YT. DO NOT attach anything to an angle grinder that wasn't specifically designed to be there. Seriously ppl... common sense will keep you alive and in one piece.
what do will he do when he need a new sandpaper? using another CD?? not classified and tested devices! unsafe and not even cheap if you need always a new CD!
My exact thoughts. A CD will disintegrate at that rpm. Don't find out the hard way people. A trip to the ER with 1/3 of a CD embedded in your face is not a good day
One of the dumbest things RUclips did was getting rid of the dislike count. It used to save loads of time, especially when looking for a "how to" video.
A simple paper disc can cut things when spinning fast enough. When you are using any rotary machines like an angle grinder You also need to ensure that you fit the guard to it. this way you will have the same number of fingers at the end that you started with.
That's funny. I took all the guards off of every single grinder I've ever owned and still have all my fingers after 25yrs of using grinders. if you know how to use your tools properly, you don't need the guards in place. besides that the guards limit how deep you can cut into things. sometimes you can't get different angles on what your cutting so guards just get in the way. use your tools properly and use proper safety gear and you shouldn't have to worry. yes, I've had disk blow apart but again, if your wearing proper safety gear no harm will come to you.
@@richardsalinetrojr1957 I hope that you have never used tools in this way commercially. The HSE would have a field day with you and instantly issue a probation notice to stop and if they found you doing again fine you, at worst you could end up in prison.
I heard of CDs breaking apart in the player, and inside the grinder it is way easier to break that plastic and make it go weee in all directions. WHAT is wrong with people ?! 🤦🏼♂
In case of broken, only a small piece of the disc with the high speed, can damage not only you, also a person close to you. It is like a knife. Normal disc has a internal net that cover the full disc in order to not throw pieces.
Showing this use of a CD is 1. worthless because there are perfectly acceptable discs made to this purpose & 2. extremely dangerous. A small crack in the CD is all it takes to cause it to shatter and slice you. Yes, that can also happen with laminated grinding discs but they are much stronger and laminated to provide strength at the RPM's that your grinder is turning. DO NOT TRY THIS STUPID SUGGESTION
@@StanCollins217 furthermore the disk is tighten in the center which will lead it to crack and especially when it's bending. Usage of a disc in this manner is stupid on a higher level.

One of my best friends spent Christmas in the hospital four years ago, due to an accident with an angle grinder with actual discs made for the job. Even those splinter, as his did, and in this case one of the shards tore through his femoral artery. Nine units of blood and plasma, an airlift to the hospital, a ton of good luck and the fighting spirit of a lunatic, as well as his steel physique since he's been in world class in martial arts decades ago all coincided to help him survive. Multiple surgeries and being declared a medical miracle, both he and I are VERY CAREFUL whenever using angle grinders these days. This video is horrendously irresponsible. I'd highly suggest the creators of it take it down immediately, because there ARE a lot of beginner DIYers out there who don't fully understand how shockingly quick and violent accidents occur. I write this with my left thumb in a bandage after once such incident with the mitre saw two days ago, so it happens even to those of us with more sense than the creators of this video. Please do not modify power tools. They are dangerous enough as they were first created! My friend survived, though they had to take pieces of his left leg to piece together the ground meat that was left of his injured inner thigh. He's got a scar clear up to his chest, and will not be 100% again, though he does just fine at 95%. He was incredibly lucky. Others might not be.
there's a reason why grinding wheels are rated for rpms. when you use something not rated for the rpms it'll basically explode and shoot the pieces everywhere. if you've ever had this happen you learn the lesson real quick. also, an orbital sandal or palm sander would've done the same thing and there would be more surface area on the sander for sanding the project more evenly. honestly, this looks like it's asking for trouble imo.
Sort of true (mainly true). Cut off disks (which of course are rated) commonly explode. They are tough, but at 1mm thick, they don't have a lot of strength. So cutting things in weird angles, or if something moves and pinches the disk, or if you accidently twist, it goes bad. Even with a face shield, the chunks (which are small, not potentially large, spinning chunks of death) hurt a lot when they hit your chest and neck. This video should have made it clear that disks DO explode, and that this CD WILL explode, and without safety gear, it can (and probably will) cause serious injury. Sure, the disk was being used as a grinding disk (not a cut off disk), but that makes it even worse because grinding disks are really tough. They are thick and designed for sanding and grinding. Dumb idea, shown in the dumbest way.

Going back forty years now, but a man building a house up the road from my parents took the the guard off his grinder to fit an over size cut-off wheel. It shattered, a piece flew into his neck and severed his jugular vein - it was said he was probably dead before he hit the ground. I doubt many people copying this CD method would be wearing neck protection.

I had to laugh in horror when he said "do not forget about safety" with no guard on the grinder, while using a disc not designed to go on it (which will shatter very easily). Very dangerous stuff.
Be careful with those discs. Commercial cutoff wheels sometime break and they hit very hard. If you've ever been hit with one you won't wear anything but a full face shield. Same with a wire brush. You can buy the flapper wheels (sanding discs) that aren't as apt to break. They're a lot cheaper than stitches and less painful.
Hate those wire brush things, not only do they sand skin on fingers and knuckles fast they spit needles of steel into you, face legs arms.... ouch (at least they're not poisonous tho lol) I'm an ex mechanic and metal worker and it still hurts!
@@davidrobertson1980 I knew better but that never stopped me before... I wore a loose fitting t-shirt while cleaning an old metal milk container with a wire wheel on a small angle grinder. As you guessed ole stupid was using it on every conceivable angle and I let it catch in my shirt. That was exciting but the shirt and I didn't look the same. We decided that was enough cleaning for one day. I decided to change my shirt and underwear after that. If ya do something enough something crazy can happen, gettin old might add to the chances? lol

I am sure that the next video he will release will be, "How To Eliminate Mice From Your Attic with Propane and a Lighter."
There was a reason why back in the day, speed of CD Drives maxed out at like x52. It was because they shattered into hundreds of pieces inside them from centrifugal force. That is a reason, why he is "cutting" Styrofoam and basically gently stroking that piece of steel.... because it's DANGEROUS!!!
And there are all kinds of grinding and cutting and sanding and polishing discs out there! But hey he must be russian. Can tell by the cheap ass angle grinder.

and normal gloves protect nothing, when a disc explodes. This was my only work accident in my life and it smashed my finger even with good gloves. My finger was open upside at 3 cm, my fingernail has broken into two pieces and the top of my finger exploded by force of impact. A CD has no reinforcing at all.
Its perfectly safe and the gasoline suggestion is brilliant. People should be free to experiment and the rest of us who do fabrication for a living should try not to laugh too loudly when we hear the screams.
Don't glue sand paper to it. Unevenly distributed glue will can cause off balance spinning and the disc to explode in multiple direction at a high velocity.
That said, some cheapo value brand CD-Rs themselves are badly balanced from factory - ok to use for a backup written once and maybe read once again sometime in the future (while limiting the sped of the drive in software) - some might see those as the perfect candidate for crap like this - don't! Rather burn a low-res copy of the Darwin Awards movie for future reference (stupid ideas like this, wink wink) on one of them and use the rest of the "cake" as coasters, that's what they are really good for.

@@merykjenkins3274 Yes I did. But the people who are responsible seem to ignore the fact that a angle grinder spins at 20.000 rpm. Safety glasses are useless, when a piece of plastic at hundreds of miles per hour penetrate your brain.
Most angle grinders have guards to prevent any debris from the grinding disc flying off into your face. It is usually integrated into the design of the angle grinder. The guard prevents you from using a larger disc for which the grinder was designed. Are you suggesting removing/modifying the guard on the angle grinder? I think it would be safer and wiser to buy a larger grinder.
I let the guards intact on my small 4 and 4 1/2" grinders. I have had blades explode ....last one cut through my shirt pocket and tee shirt under that and put one heck of a bruise and scuff mark on my teet. Dreaded the carnage possible had it hit my face !!! Was a new cutting wheel so I assumed defect. Am Leary now with the wheels remaining in the package. But let the guards in place guys . There's nothing to be gained . Doesn't improve clearance as guards are repositional hate when they're gone. Fingers grooved nearly every time
Tuffy 1 9 minutes ago (edited) I USE A NINE INCH SANDING DISK ON A FIVE INCH GRINDER WAY WAY BETTER THAN A NKMAL 1\4 X6" GRINDER WHEEL, CLEAN OFF SPATER WHEN WELDING PIPE. SHINY.

MY father had a broken CD fall and cut into his forehead and this was not moving at 5,000 to 10,000 RPM. It was literally sticking out of his head like a bloody unicorn and it only fell from the top shelf. I have removed a metal sliver embedded in my eyeball with tweezers that I had gotten WHILE wearing safety glasses. You don't want to go for surgery just to get a CD shard out of your leg or eyeball because you were a dumbass for the weekend. Go find a better life hack NOW.

Congratulations! You've discovered the new technology of the grinding wheel! You're a gen... Oh... wait.. no... this technology has been around since the 1840's for this version. The old stone version goes so far back we don't even know when their use even began. But, then, I can't imagine why this wouldn't be patented. I'll give you a D+ for creativity here.
I really think from a safety perspective that you need to be supervised at all times. Using a plastic disk (cd ) as a sander was an accident waiting to happen. Seriously you may need help.
not only that but the mounted it incorrectly in the first place, thin discs use the top grip in reverse so the flats contact not the flange for stones or flexi discs

Right, children packing angle grinders. I mean, come on, there are things that u instictively feel ain't right. That cd spinning ain't right, I bet even children get that.
You can by the proper deal at hardware store, it is a rubber with a screw and the round sanding pads attach and this goes into a drill gun, great for body work etc.
Yea but u can't do chit with a drill. Now they make those pad holders for grinders too. The new swedish or finnish ones are really thin too, so no extra vibrations or anything and they are easy on the grinder.
I do something similar to salvage data off old DVDRs. I made an adapter so I can put the DVD in a drill, then i spin it up and use fine abrasive paper to resurface the disc, before giving it another rip with some plastic polish.
Very dangerous, especially without the guard on it. I’ve seen what happens when a regular disc (in this case, a cutting disc) Grenades. That will go through your face shield!
Don't know what you're talking about... been working with all kinds of grinders for 15 years, not so much as one minor accident. No guards no shields no nothing. Just googles, gloves and long sleeves for the hot flying particles. Dont know what u guys been cuttin', railroad tracks or somethin'...
@@smokeydiamond489 only accidents I've had is when I've dropped the grinder. I do a lot of work on cars and you end up in stupid positions that are hard to hold for long. Dropped with a cutting disc. Disc exploded and the pieces just bounced off me. Didn't really feel them.

Great video! Now if I want to cut shallow slots of various and uncontrollable widths in Styrofoam, I can do this!! On top of that, if I want to send shards of plastic and sand paper at anyone within 50' I can do that too!!
This would be great for cutting some asbestos or to use as hair cutting machine even trim your toe nails with it. Man I can't wait to try it out. Also great for unplanned surgery which is what will happen when that CD disc explodes.
Du kannst dir auch einen Schlitz in die Kniescheibe machen und da eine Feile einwachsen lassen. Dann hast du die Hände immer frei beim Arbeiten. Guter TRICK !! ECHT !!!

Use tools as they should be used. 1. danger, be cautios using anything else but patended discs. 2. don't toghtend the disk, tool that you are using is for unacrewing not to tighted it. Just use hands to tighten a little bit.

I had to laugh in horror when he said "do not forget about safety" with no guard on the grinder, while using a disc not designed to go on it (which will shatter very easily). Very dangerous stuff.
On top of that, he attached the secrement ring upside down on the cd.
But he's wearing gardening gloves and dollar store sunglasses. What could possibly go wrong?
It’s a 5” cd. It won’t fit with the guard on
Great news! Thanks to your experiment we finally have a use for DJ Khaled's back catalogue.
Be careful with those discs. Commercial cutoff wheels sometime break and they hit very hard. If you've ever been hit with one you won't wear anything but a full face shield. Same with a wire brush. You can buy the flapper wheels (sanding discs) that aren't as apt to break. They're a lot cheaper than stitches and less painful.
Hate those wire brush things, not only do they sand skin on fingers and knuckles fast they spit needles of steel into you, face legs arms.... ouch (at least they're not poisonous tho lol) I'm an ex mechanic and metal worker and it still hurts!
@@davidrobertson1980 I knew better but that never stopped me before... I wore a loose fitting t-shirt while cleaning an old metal milk container with a wire wheel on a small angle grinder. As you guessed ole stupid was using it on every conceivable angle and I let it catch in my shirt. That was exciting but the shirt and I didn't look the same. We decided that was enough cleaning for one day. I decided to change my shirt and underwear after that. If ya do something enough something crazy can happen, gettin old might add to the chances? lol

The glue costed more than just simply buying a sandpaper disc

As someone that has seen a CD catastrophically fail in a CD Rom drive, I could only imagine what this "hack" would do. At least he used eye and hand protection... so there is that.
I am sure that the next video he will release will be, "How To Eliminate Mice From Your Attic with Propane and a Lighter."
Well, u survived tho.. plus this guy is russian
Three minutes of my life I will never get back.
There was a reason why back in the day, speed of CD Drives maxed out at like x52. It was because they shattered into hundreds of pieces inside them from centrifugal force. That is a reason, why he is "cutting" Styrofoam and basically gently stroking that piece of steel.... because it's DANGEROUS!!!
And there are all kinds of grinding and cutting and sanding and polishing discs out there! But hey he must be russian. Can tell by the cheap ass angle grinder.
After retiring as an engineer after fifty years I genuinely thought that I’d seen every outright boneheaded dangerous thing that someone could do or try. Guess I was wrong . . .

@@CreativeHacker7 Then why did you make it? Fragmented shards of plastic sounds like an ER run to me. Again, not to be a negative Nellie, but you really need to rethink the possibly of injury and take this one down.
@@Lggaley I agree 10,000 %. It wont be him that gets hurt though. Some inexperienced weekender or total noob will think this is a smart " hack" and have it blow up in their face or eyes . This isnt clever or funny at all. I'm not usually one to comment on the dangers of this type of " fictional experiment" it is after the fact labeled. I just had a PC of a grinding wheel dug out of my eye a year and a half ago and still have vision issues AND was wearing safety glasses and all guards were In place. This is just irresponsible. Should be taken down! No concern no conscience, no brains . Thinks hes cute and is a joke . Clicks. F- that shite. Total dic move. Trump like--- thinks hes the smartest in the room and is literally the stupidest sorry, but damn-- just wow.
@@Lggaley agreed this is super dangerous.
and normal gloves protect nothing, when a disc explodes. This was my only work accident in my life and it smashed my finger even with good gloves. My finger was open upside at 3 cm, my fingernail has broken into two pieces and the top of my finger exploded by force of impact.
A CD has no reinforcing at all.
In next week's episode of "It works until it doesn't" a parachute fabricated from your old bedsheets.
Good way to put yourself into the forever box
Its perfectly safe and the gasoline suggestion is brilliant. People should be free to experiment and the rest of us who do fabrication for a living should try not to laugh too loudly when we hear the screams.
Let's keep the experimentation going! Safety first, but creativity knows no bounds 🤯👍.
Don't glue sand paper to it. Unevenly distributed glue will can cause off balance spinning and the disc to explode in multiple direction at a high velocity.
dont worry he had SUNGLASSES on lols 🤣
That said, some cheapo value brand CD-Rs themselves are badly balanced from factory - ok to use for a backup written once and maybe read once again sometime in the future (while limiting the sped of the drive in software) - some might see those as the perfect candidate for crap like this - don't! Rather burn a low-res copy of the Darwin Awards movie for future reference (stupid ideas like this, wink wink) on one of them and use the rest of the "cake" as coasters, that's what they are really good for.

@@merykjenkins3274 Yes I did. But the people who are responsible seem to ignore the fact that a angle grinder spins at 20.000 rpm. Safety glasses are useless, when a piece of plastic at hundreds of miles per hour penetrate your brain.
Wow!! Mind = Blown !! 😮
Thank you for giving us Covid, and thank you for giving us this wonderful idea.
Don't forget about safety! Proceed to use unbalanced disk on angle grinder without a guard while wearing sunglases XD
Most angle grinders have guards to prevent any debris from the grinding disc flying off into your face. It is usually integrated into the design of the angle grinder. The guard prevents you from using a larger disc for which the grinder was designed. Are you suggesting removing/modifying the guard on the angle grinder? I think it would be safer and wiser to buy a larger grinder.
dont know when the last time was that i seen any grinder with a shield on
I do not suggest removing the protection, I simply did not have it, and of course I show that safety rules are necessary even in the video itself !
I let the guards intact on my small 4 and 4 1/2" grinders. I have had blades explode ....last one cut through my shirt pocket and tee shirt under that and put one heck of a bruise and scuff mark on my teet. Dreaded the carnage possible had it hit my face !!! Was a new cutting wheel so I assumed defect. Am Leary now with the wheels remaining in the package. But let the guards in place guys . There's nothing to be gained . Doesn't improve clearance as guards are repositional hate when they're gone. Fingers grooved nearly every time

I USE A NINE INCH SANDING DISK ON A FIVE INCH GRINDER WAY WAY BETTER THAN A NKMAL 1\4 X6" GRINDER WHEEL, CLEAN OFF SPATER WHEN WELDING PIPE. SHINY. TO MAKE A GRINDER USEFUL : 1 THROW AWAY ALL GUARDS 2: MAKE SURE IT HAS A TRIGGER LOCK 3: MAKE SURE TO USE AT LEAST A 6 INCH DISK ON IT. ONLY THEN IS IT ACTUALLY A SURGICAL, DEADY
YOU DONT WANT TO DRAG A 9" GRINDER AROUND ALL DAY, YOU WANT A LIGHT POWERFULL KILLER UNIT. LIKE A 5" MAKITA WITH 6" X 1/8" DISK
AND IT DOES BITE, YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE HOLDING ON TO
Damnnnn boi..... When you were using the grinder with bare hands and the guard removed. Wow.
Nice 👍🏻 if only they sold sanding discs for a grinder 🤦
I know why it's not patented! Because it's stupid in so many ways. Besides being dangerous, there are easier and cheaper ways to do the same thing.
it's done as part of an experiment, I'm not saying it should be repeated
@@CreativeHacker7 should put a notice saying not responsible if you try this !
@@CreativeHacker7 Showing it to the public kinda makes it seem being either a recommendation or advice of yours, doesn't it? Usually it's a "I show you something to learn from me" principle being implied.

Russians dont need no guards
Good way to bleed out from shrapnel in your carotid artery very helpful video
MMMM I love the idea of plastic shards embedded into my face and eyes.
You should take into account ; that when that CD Material will easily shatter under stress, and if while spinning, is similar to a granade.

As a red seal, level B pipe welder, with a decade of experience, I will say this once "DO NOT DO THIS." It is is an extremely stupid idea.
Those CD shards at high speeds WILL hurt you. MY father had a broken CD fall and cut into his forehead and this was not moving at 5,000 to 10,000 RPM. It was literally sticking out of his head like a bloody unicorn and it only fell from the top shelf. I have removed a metal sliver embedded in my eyeball with tweezers that I had gotten WHILE wearing safety glasses. You don't want to go for surgery just to get a CD shard out of your leg or eyeball because you were a dumbass for the weekend.

Between the orbital pads and the glue i think it costs more than a cutting wheel.
Also if you hook up Bluetooth headphones to the angle grinder, you'll be able to listen to the songs on the disk while cutting. Brilliant. 😀😀👍
Finally, a tool for cutting styrofoam
can't that be done over a normal table? Does it work better assembling it on grass??
One of the most dangerous tools a contractor could use!
Thanks!
To sum it up, only a fool would do this.
this deserves a Darwin award.
Congratulations! You've discovered the new technology of the grinding wheel! You're a gen... Oh... wait.. no... this technology has been around since the 1840's for this version. The old stone version goes so far back we don't even know when their use even began. But, then, I can't imagine why this wouldn't be patented.
I'll give you a D+ for creativity here.
I agree. Thank you
It earned him millions of views tho, man
Never take the guard off and never use discs like these that can shatter!
Can't do chit with the guard on, man. That ain't workin'.
Wow he made a sanding disc out of 2 sanding discs!! Genius!!
when that CD Shatters from the RPM's you'll really be amazed & covered in shrapnel
I really think from a safety perspective that you need to be supervised at all times. Using a plastic disk (cd ) as a sander was an accident waiting to happen. Seriously you may need help.
not only that but the mounted it incorrectly in the first place, thin discs use the top grip in reverse so the flats contact not the flange for stones or flexi discs
Only upvotes? No dislikes?
Must be a great and save way to use my angle grinder!
Thanks RUclips!
Nickleback cd's are perfect for this.

Right, children packing angle grinders.
I mean, come on, there are things that u instictively feel ain't right. That cd spinning ain't right, I bet even children get that.
You can by the proper deal at hardware store, it is a rubber with a screw and the round sanding pads attach and this goes into a drill gun, great for body work etc.
Yea but u can't do chit with a drill. Now they make those pad holders for grinders too. The new swedish or finnish ones are really thin too, so no extra vibrations or anything and they are easy on the grinder.
I thought we was going to hear some lovely music from the disc.
I do something similar to salvage data off old DVDRs. I made an adapter so I can put the DVD in a drill, then i spin it up and use fine abrasive paper to resurface the disc, before giving it another rip with some plastic polish.
Pensé que cortarías la madera con el CD jajaja
Inventazo!!! Ahora averigua como hacer que el microondas funcione con la puerta abierta
Eyeballs have left the chat.
Do you hear the "sounds of music" while cutting with that cd 💿 🤔 👀 😄
Very dangerous, especially without the guard on it. I’ve seen what happens when a regular disc (in this case, a cutting disc) Grenades. That will go through your face shield!
Well.... Now we know why he never shows us his face.
He`s russian. Let him do that way. Less russians, less troubles around
I think everyone watching this knows it's not safe.
Don't know what you're talking about... been working with all kinds of grinders for 15 years, not so much as one minor accident.
No guards no shields no nothing. Just googles, gloves and long sleeves for the hot flying particles. Dont know what u guys been cuttin', railroad tracks or somethin'...
@@smokeydiamond489 only accidents I've had is when I've dropped the grinder. I do a lot of work on cars and you end up in stupid positions that are hard to hold for long.
Dropped with a cutting disc. Disc exploded and the pieces just bounced off me. Didn't really feel them.
Perfect video for those of us that like shrapnel and hate our hands🙄

spinning a polycarbonate CD or DVD at those speeds is a really, really bad idea. They're not made for that speed and will, eventually self destruct throwing shards of polycarbonate everywhere

Cutting disks are cheap,why the hell would you need to use this?

RIP. Clearly has never seen someone get a chunk stuck in them when the wheel shatters. This video needs that "dumb ways to die" sound from tiktok
very simple way.
Notice he can't put any pressure on the disc it will literally explode if he does
I think because they are circular they’re good at spinning. (I also found an old heavy metal CD that worked really well)! 😂🤣😂🤣
Thanks for the comment, but this is an experiment that is not suitable for constant use, I think you understand it🙃
I find sawblades work best…🙃
This would be great for cutting some asbestos or to use as hair cutting machine even trim your toe nails with it. Man I can't wait to try it out. Also great for unplanned surgery which is what will happen when that CD disc explodes.
Du kannst dir auch einen Schlitz in die Kniescheibe machen und da eine Feile einwachsen lassen.
Dann hast du die Hände immer frei beim Arbeiten. Guter TRICK !! ECHT !!!
I know from experience that spinning compact discs at high speeds can result in fragmentation of the disc, especially if disc is not perfectly centered. Be careful!
Just use Metallica or any heavy metal CD
Could you try 'defragging' the disk?
You sure are going to be upset when that plastic CD breaks and sends a fragment through your face, eye or both.

Use tools as they should be used.

2. don't toghtend the disk, tool that you are using is for unacrewing not to tighted it. Just use hands to tighten a little bit.
