- Just a few scraps to create even more uses for your angle grinder !
NOTE : I called the threads 10/20. On most angle grinders the thread size where the handle goes is 1/4-20 :-)
Bill, you did an amazing awesome job on not only developing the is jig, but also in creating this video. I felt welcomed into your shop and gave me the feeling that we were rubbing shoulders the entire time. You are a great teacher and instructor. Love you man!
Stanley Pearse
I Love You Stan.
That is all.
I've watched a few of these DYI brackets to turn an angle grinder into a bench grinder but yours was by far the easiest to put together. I'll be building one on the weekend. thank you so much.
Thanks Brother 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Awesome jig Bill. That's a great way to make a single tool more versatile. Very useful for people who don't suffer from T.A.S. or have a small budget or lack of space.

Thank you Brother.
Awesome way to make a take anywhere bench grinder. Brilliant using the handle hole to secure it too. I was thinking it needed a hose clamp near the back, but nope!👍🏻

Thank you 😊
"Oh Hey?"... my favorite part of your videos bar none! What a cool idea!
I Love you man, that is all!

Uh,........I'm totally going to make one of these. I would have used it for about 4 hours on my last welding project. Loved the voice over too!
Make Build Modify
If you make one, it will be EPIC :-)
Thanks brother :-)
Watching this video makes me want a workshop in my house!
I support you Mark !!!
Another fine Genius Build Buddy. I can see a lot of youtubers and followers making this one as it will be a great add on to any workshop weather it be a wood or metal shop.... Great design and build as always....... Thank you for sharing..
Terry Whitley WoodCrafts
Thank you Terry for ALWAYS having kind words to say. I always look forward to seeing your comments :-)
(There, I fixed it !)
Thats a cool idea using the handle hole to secure it!
Leigh Jordan
Thanks man, I am just using an idea I saw 25 years ago. Still a good idea today !
great job Bill I'm glad you were able to take it from metal to wood keep up the good work brother and now that I'm feeling better start checking your mail, I sent it today!
Opa's Workshop
Thank you as always Brother :-)
And I will be watching !
Love you 👊🏼❤️👍🏼
I was wondering too,.. "How's it going to be held solid without burning up?"
well,......there ya go. Great jig Bill. Thanks for looking out for us non welding yet kinda wanna type dudes, man. I appreciate it.
Rag Tie
Glad you like it :-)
You should make one AFTER YOU ARE DONE HEALING !!!
Great job buddy. Thats gonna come in handy for someone that doesn't have a bench grinder. Super kewl!
Paul Meyette
Thanks Brother :-)
This is great! If I didn't find a Baldor grinder for a song on Craigslist I'd be building this right now!
bluebarnworkshop
Thanks brother :-)
I have a baldor too, but still find myself using this quite often.
Yeah you can change discs and it quick and easy.
Quick, Simple, functional ! great job Bill love it!
Billy McCord
Thanks Man :-)
Came out better than I thought !
If you don't have a bench grinder this is a great idea. Not sure what disc grit is good for sharpening i'm mainly interested in sharpening drill bits.
That's a rad idea! Thanks for sharing.
jeremy gunkel
Thank YOU for watching Jeremy :-)
Than ks Bill I need to do this so I can finish my carbide lathe tools.
Jim Beshears
You know I'd do anything for you Jim :-)
Great video - thank you. Drywall screws and PVA glue is the kind of solution I like: great strength and fast to build.
Thanks Brother, and I agree !!!
Awesome! That'll be my new tungsten grinder!
David White
Thank you David :-)
Fantastic! Just what I was looking for to save space and money!
Thank you Brother :-)
Nice job. Handy and quick

Love it, Lutes!
Michael Dougherty
Thanks Michael, was a fun little build :-)
LUTES!! Great to see your putting out more videos! Great jig can you post a few close up pictures of the metal one you made? I weld for my day job and I can see this being useful for a few things!
SE Collectiv
Thank you so much for the kind words.
I will post a few side by side of both :-)
William Lutes thanks much appreciated
Great idea ,you are awesome , good invented 👉👉👍👍👍👍🏅🏅🏅
👊🏼❤️👊🏼
The hardest part of this is to get the piece to screw in the handle hole. Where to get that??
07:39 But *Bill* - that machete scares the s... out of me. Thank God it's not *Friday the 13th* and I'm not anywhere near the beautiful state of California. *grrrrrrr.......* But other than that: nice jig.
You the man lutes lutes lutes :)
that's simply awesome. great hack
metaspencer
Thanks Brother !
I have been called the Hack of all Trades once or twice ;-)
Can we make glrew (glue and screw) a thing? And that's a great jig!
HA !!!!! THATS A MILLION DOLLAR IDEA DAVID !!!!
And thanks for watching Brother :-}
excellent!! I love it
tim sway
You and Phil gave the the Idea to make a video, thank you 😊
What kind of ruler is this at 2:06 ? It looks much longer than a 30 cm ruler, and the units are divided into 8 or 16. Is it like an architect ruler so that you can draw at a given scale or something ?
Thank you for watching :-)
Thats a standard 36” yard stick I got at Home Depot for about $7.00
Doooooood, super practical, super useful.

Cool, I couldn't envision what you meant when you were talking about this on the podcast.
By the way there was no commercial at the beginning. You might not have the monetizing turned on. Just so you know.
Stanley Shostak
Thanks for the love Stanley.....and one day soon I will be monetizing and giving a support my channel shpeel ;-)
Well done........great idea. Thanks
Thank you Brother :-)
Doesn't the position of the guard leave the user exposed to flying debris?Seems like you'd want to stand to the side or rotate the guard
D Ryan Anderson With the guard positioned where it is in the video, There doesn’t seem to be any more debris directed at the user than on a standard bench grinder. However, this jig does allow for the rotation of the guard as you suggested if needed. Mostly, eye pro is your friend :-)
Thanks for checking this out Brother 👊🏼❤️👊🏼
@@WilliamLutesMaker From my understanding, a bench grinder runs at 3,450 rpm typically. An angle grinder can spin at over 10,000 rpm. That's why angle grinders always scare me. Most dangerous tool in the shop, in my opinion. Some recommend full face shield when using discs that can fracture. Great video, just trying to learn safety myself. Great channel.
Cool jig! Looks a little artsy too boot.
+P. J. Galati
Thanks PJ !!!
having the tool rest below centerline on the grinder is not safe at all. side grinding on the machete is fine but for grinding on the end (like a bench grinder) the piece can get pulled into the disk....
I'm not trying to rag on ya brother... I like your version of this hack... I think adding a spacer on the end would increase the safety factor for those unfamiliar with useing angle grinders.
on the podcast I think you guys were thinking of "make it extreme" as the angle grinder hacker guys...
LacklusterSupply
Thanks for the feedback brother. I have never had an issue with this setup. Most likely, the power difference between an actual Bench grinder and a 41/2 inch angle grinder is vast. But like all things safety, everyone needs to decide for themselves :-)
out of the park! #loveit
Phil Pinsky Productions
Thanks for the inspiration ! You making the vise jig outa wood sparked my fire 🔥
hi. I broke the sharp tip on my pocket knife; how would you suggest getting a point back? which wheels do you suggest and (are you using)? thanks
Just clamp the handle of the angle grinder to the bench vice no?
This is a top vid and build!!!
Thank you Brother !!!
nice project. I thought your voice over sounded great.
brett benson
Thank you Brett.
I'm still a bit nervous about the voiceovers so I appreciate the compliment :-)
nice job !
Ozzieineire
Thank you :-)
Thank you for another super video, Bill. Do you think there would be any benefit in making the support for the grinder hinged (like a chop saw)? Stay cool brother.
William Spanfelner
Thanks for the kind words brother :-)
I thought about a hinge action to use with cutting disks, but I figured anything that small to cut would be easier with just holding the angle grinder and clamping the piece to be cut.
You're a badass
Thank you Brother 👊❤️👊
Great video I like to make myself one of metal you don't have a video of that?
Thank you, I will be making a metal one and a video soon !
Is that the harbor freight angle grinder? I'd love to hear your opinion on it if so, or what you'd recommend for an entry level angle grinder since you actually do metal work. most opinions I've been given have been from "tool tools" that buy pretty yellow stuff to decorate their garages with. I'm wanting to get into metalworking a little bit, so any tips of the trade are appreciated
Eric Lee
Thank you for watching Eric :-)
Yes, thats the Harbor Freight one. With a coupon, less than $10 bucks. I have owned that for years now and if/when it burns up I will have gotten my moneys worth. Get one, see if you like metal working. Theres is always time to upgrade to the Yellow tools if you find you are passionate about working with metal :-)
William Lutes for sure boss! Thanks for replying
This is Great 👍👍👍
realjester
Than you Brother :-)
Nice 👍
