  • In this video I go through what I believe are the 10 best angle grinder accessories which make the angle grinder the most versatile tool in the workshop. The angle grinder has always been a valuable tool and with these 10 accessories you can do almost anything. You can cut, grind, shape and polish metal, wood, stone, ceramics and more. The 10 best angle grinder accessories are as follows:

      What about a chasing attachment? 2 masonry wheels mounted about 30mm apart for chasing water pipes or electrical conduit. Works a charm, but don't use the wife's vacuum for dust extraction! Cost me a lot of money for a new one!

    I had a lot of old pipes and rebar to cut up and from what I read th-cam.com/users/postUgkxPDBfLu68o58Aw85O_J-zIFfjJARBhp-3 this would be the tool for the job. Since I had never used one, I watched a couple of youtube videos and I'm so glad I did. Some really good safety tips, which I followed, and this tool did a splendid job. One good thing to know is the weight of the tool puts just about the right amount of pressure on the metal I was cutting, so I didn't have to use a lot of pressure, which is more likely to jam the tool. It made fast work of my job.

    A very useful video. I bought my first angle grinder a month or so ago to help cut out mortar so I could repoint a stone building with lime. It has proven slow going with fibre discs. As a result of seeing this video I bought a diamond cutting disc for masonry. It’s been a revelation. The speed of cut is better than I could have hoped for, and it’s reduced the chiselling effort substantially.

    I have a corded grinder (for years) and I love it so much that I decided to get a cordless one with variable speed. A speed control helps with sending and also gentile buffing. One attachment that I use and I did not see in your video is a carbon tipped saw blade that fits 4 1/2 inch grinder. I use it to trim trees from branches 1-2 inch thick. The grinder cuts right by the trunk, fast and clean. Cordless very helpful.

    I do agree that the small angle grinders (usually 115mm) are highly versatile power tools. That versatility can be further extended with some of the reputable tool brand 18/20volt cordless models. They're certainly not the cheap option but do come into their own on awkward to access jobs. I recently added a cordless 18 volt die grinder to my grinding stable. Fitted with carbide cutting burrs it is a brilliant bit of kit.

    Check out the Bosch Carbide Multi Wheel disc. They are absolutely brilliant with wood and other materials that the old range of cutters (diamond, abrasive etc) just aren't designed to deal with. And you don't need to carry a spare pair of undercrackers (and a thumb and forefinger) like with the chainsaw wheel. As a tradesman there are few purchases that have revolutionised my work but this is one of them.

    You are right about the chain saw blade attachments, as a woodcarver, I can speak to the danger of these hideous tools. There are many instances where the kickback knocked the tool out of the hands and crawled up the user's body causing serious injury, and now there are copies of these coming out that are even cheaper to buy tempting novice carvers to buy one. Please note that there are safer alternatives that have 3 or 4 heavy carbide teeth that accomplish the same thing but without the kickback danger and with more control and only cost about $20 US.

    A word from a 30+ year mason. Those wide rake wheels do what they claim to do, but they grind along pretty slowly and they get your grinders very hot quickly. They do last a very long time - I've seen masons who use them burn up 10 or 12 grinders but save the disk which still works good to burn up another grinder. Most people may seldom grind out joints, but I do very often, and I've found that using a thin diamond blade in two passes, one on each side of the joint and popping out the middle with a trowel edge or chisel is still much quicker, and cost you far fewer grinders, and even though it is still very dusty, it's far less dust than grinding it all out is. They'll still get hot and need to cool off, but you'll get to work more than the cooling time with the thin diamond blades. Another tip for whichever grinder blade you chose, if you have a good sized project to grind out and tuck point back in - start with two ( or more) angle grinders and blades so as soon as one gets too warm, you can set it by a fan in the shade, and hopefully by the time the second is hot, the first is ready to go again. ( If you're using rake wheels, you might need 4 or more grinders to get in 8 hours of grinding in an 8 hour day without burning up some grinders )

      @bradpayn8058 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@stephenarling1667 I use them all the time, but not usually to clean joints for tuck pointing, more for removing brick or block when masonry units need to be replaced, or if the faces of them do. The impacting going on around joints would chip up the neighboring block or brick too much, leading to me having to replace more and more. I would cut around the joints surrounding the units I were taking out on the outside of those joints first with thin diamond on a grinder. Maybe even cut that brick I were removing, depending on the hardness of it, a few times in the middle with a grinder too, so pressure had somewhere to go other than into neighboring units. Then I'd get the SDS hammer drill and chisel that unit from the middle outward taking out chunks and getting very careful, maybe even going to hammer and chisel when I got real close to the edges, to units that don't need removed (yet, there's likely to be a few anyway, but less of them is better). I wouldn't try a hammer drill on joints * with a chisel just to remove the mortar from the joints - there would be chips everywhere that you tried it.
      I will use a hammer drill with an SDS drill bit to drill holes that are smaller than the joint close together, and at several angles within the joint connecting holes, removing mortar, around a unit if my grinder not getting deep enough is causing too many neighbors to chip.
      Hammer drills with chisels are just too aggressive for fine work, but excellent for demo when used with a grinder or diamond saw.
      When you just want the joints out to tuck new mud in two thin grinder cuts, one on each side of the joint and remove the middle is still cleanest, easiest, and fastest. Don't think of it as twice the cutting, it's not. You are cutting only two narrow slices that still only add up to a small portion of one wide one that a rake wheel cuts and it's more than twice as fast due to what you don't have to cut. That narrow piece left between your two cuts isn't that tuff to get out. You can usually just stick the edge of a brick trowel in either cut and twist your wrist and pop out a foot or more of the remaining middle easily in seconds.

    2 tips with wire wheels. 1 do not use gloves with any sort of weave anywhere on them when using them (they can catch and force their way under the gloves or just catch and dig in). 2 use a leather apron when using them, it will save you pulling wires out of your legs and chest. And a bonus one, use a face shield for the same reason.
    I promise the above is worth doing from personal experience.
    Also some grinders come with an safety clutch, also useful with wire wheels if your wearing a baggie t shirt.... Yeah using a wire wheel on a grinder wasn't the way to go when stripping the paint off my Colchester chipmaster lathe. In the end the karcher with a sand blasting fitting was way better.
    Oh and great video btw.

      @blarglemantheskeptic 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @@alockworkorange7296 see, that's the problem: everyone makes small mistakes sometimes. Looking at the way risk mitigation is approached (I'm an engineer), where it isn't possible to design away the risk entirely, what you need is multiple safety players between the hazard and the event. This is why you use a push stick and a blade guard with riving knife whenever possible on a table saw, and you avoid having trip hazards around was well.
      This idea is also used in the pharmaceutical industry. Drug manufacturers want products where the gap between a "therapeutic" dose and a fatal one needs to be as wide as possible. They don't want 1 pill is good, 2 pills is dead. With paracetamol/acetaminophen the dose is 1g and you are pretty safe up to 10g.
      With the chainsaw disk, none of the mitigations available significantly assist in adding those layers, meaning that the tiniest error can become catastrophic in the blink of an eye.
