- Used empty propane tanks of all sizes offer quality sheet metal that can be salvaged and modified for all kinds of uses (BBQ, pizza oven, wood stove, fire pit, etc...) Although cutting them up can be very dangerous, this video shows the safety precautions I took before cutting.
You forgot to fill the grinder with water that's why it cought on fire
Bahaha!
Hahaha 🤣
Joe that was the best video i have seen all week! Love how it lights on fire and the video ends. lol :)
Thank you
That was gas from the tank lighting from a spark on the grinder lol. Even after purging the tank with water its dangerous. The metal absorbs pockets of gas and is released upon cutting. Should have used dry ice to remove oxygen around the cutting point.
Sorry about the angle grinder, I thought it was a Bosch at first, but it was a Ryobi. I never burned up a Bosch, but I never burned up a Ryobi because I always use Bosch. Friend, friends don't let friends buy Ryobi.
I now own a Bosch, much better
Maybe just me, but I have very good luck with Bosch electric tools.
I agree ryobi is only a bit better than harbor freight Bosch is much better tools
@@Lee-dn3ou I disagree. Harbor Freight is better than Ryobi.
Never cheap out in buying tools, and they will last a generation or more.
Thanks for the tips. I will be following your tips when cutting my tanks with my everlast plasma cutter.
Thanks for your feedback
love the tool burnout. i got through 2 cheap drills and had to lash out £50 ( 3 times the justifiable amount for a drill) on one to finish the job of removing 4 exhaust studs that had rusted.
Thanks for your feedback,
Yep, thumbs up for flaming grinder.
Bottom cut is excellent for outdoor fire pit and the rest doesn’t need any further cut, good enough for scrap dealer.
I agree, thank you for the feedback
Rip angle grinder 2018-2019.
I do that to all brands of grinders
It was funny when the grinder burned out because every Black and Decker power tool I've owned (grinder and drill) burned up very quickly. I've had bad luck with Ryobi too. Ryobi products are only for very light duty. I had a $8 21 pc drill bit set from them and they dulled on the first hole in aluminum.
The cheap stuff always end up costing more at the end...quality is usually a safe bet...
@@JoeBakerOutsideTheBox Yeah, you're right. My B+D drill cost only $10 less than a Metabo and the grinder was $20 less. I ended up spending the cost of the new tools PLUS the burnt ones and I had the scrub the burnt residue off the garage floor. Fun times.

Thank you for your feedback…welcome to the channel

Dang sucks for the grinder
just want to bring up, i had one that you had to connect, to say a torch, to release the remaing gas in the cylinder. it dident empty when i just opened the valuve, be safe! 😁
Thanks... filling the tank with water remove the remaining propane
Cool
Awesome !! Buy a metabo 6 in cutoff
Cool video!!! Like your channel!
nice one. try harbor freight for the angle grinder.
I got one from harbor freight and I've had it for over a year and it still works
So Filling it with water makes it safe. Then just empty it and it’s tea to cut?
Well, the water expels gas residue… just in case
Would a person fit inside that tank cut open at 1 38??? Wood fired hot tub for 1 person.
Hard to see from the video but could it be that you´re blocking the vent holes on the black piece on the grinder?. I think that would explain why it ran hot. Anyway ... I gave a thumb up for the flames ... and the fact that the thumbnail wasn´t clickbait :-)
+Pede711 Thanks...l was carefull not to block any air vent, went it start overheating, I should have stop. but where is the fun in that!!!
Wow that angle grinder really went up.
I know it was coming, the grinder felt pretty hot.
Sticks, Stones and iron I guess it could be quite a dangerous failure. I’m surprised there is not a thermal fuse in the motor windings. I wish I had those end caps would make a great fire bowl.
Angle grinders I own
Dewalt 4" Have 4, Good Tools
Makita 4" Have 1 Good
Bosch 4" Have 1 Good
Porter cable 4" Have 1 Good
Metabo 4" Had 1 Was Good smashed with fork lift OOPS
Best tool for cutting Iron, Milwaukee 8" Circular saw
I have Bosch now, I'm happy with it...thanks for your input
try plasma-cutting. saves nerves, discs, grinders and eardrum! :-)
I will...thanks
yeah if you have a spare couple grand no problem. save some money and use a grinder lol
not true! I bought one for under 300bucks (EURO that is!) and I run it from diving-bottles since I have no compressor that delivers the volume...
angle grinders are dangerous but i can't afford a plasma cutter sucks
Was that the wheel or the grinder that blew up, because if it was the wheel then its sort of expected if you're cutting for that long
Wheel was fine, it was electrical
poor grinder
Grinder overheated because you cover up air holes with your left hand
I should be more careful, thanks for your feedback
Just a tip stop buying junk. DeWalt makes a fabulous one that will last a lifetime.
Nope. I get 4 to 6 months out of them.
1:56 We get it. You vape.
????
@@JoeBakerOutsideTheBox it's a meme where when there's a lot of smoke people make vape jokes.
I see...thank you
Run a hose from your car or truck tailpipe into tank while its running an then you can use a torch..
sounds dangerous...I like it
It is dangerous. Auto exhaust can have unburned fuel or oil vapor in it, which can ignite if you cut the tank.
Your way with the water purge is the safest easy way to avoid stupid mistakes.
R.I.P Grinder
good thing harbor freight has cheap grinders.
I hate when a tool breaks. All jazzed up and suddenly, a screeching halt.
I agree, but its also ok to have a reason to buy new tool.
Hahahaha! Ya.
Hahahaha that was cutting to watch lol 😂
Glad you like it...thanks
You should have added fire in the description, that would have given you some more views, sorry to see that you did not finish it.
thanks for the tip
Why people cut the collar or as you said neck off is just a waste of time cutting wheels
Your choice, I just want it out of the way
OOPS LMFAO. GREAT VID
Got to be Chinese angle grinder blow up time .
They're all Chinese nowadays
You need bosch angle grinder my friend jajaja
Funny, its exactly what I replaced it with
harbor freight grinder ?
It was a Ryobi bought at Home Depot, to be fair it when through a lot of use and abuse before it died on me.
harbor freight has cheap grinders.
I upgrade to a Bosch grinder, much better
420 tank.
fil it with water then everything else is presset out for sure :)
LOL
shouldve let off when it started smoking
no, its time was up...it put out a good show
*tons of smoke* *still fuckin grinds*
not too bad for what you pay...
Why would you cut that up, its money anyone on craigslist would have payed you 100$ for it easy. Big tanks are super expensive and impossible to buy new.
I salvaged the tank, it was ditched in the woods, probably many years ago, I used it as a raiser to access an underground tank opening
too bad about your grinder
+bushhippi got a new one, almost twice the amps....
Powerplasma cutter.
Awesome tool to have
