Should never apologies for being a good person and neighbour. If people do not accept and appreciate that, then that is there problem. God bless you..... Now on saying that my lawns need mowing.....😜😜😜 in short love your tool times damn bloody love all your vids...thank the misses for letting you spend so much time here it is appreciated... Cheers and God Bless, Les 🙈🙉🙊
Just got one.. not used it yet. I think they are a natural progression from files and hacksaws on certain jobs. I think the danger is that since they cost the same as drills, and are next to drills in the store... people like me dont realise they are a MASSIVE health and safety leap. Great video, glad I spent $40 bucks on armored gloves so if i screw up in the start i might have a finger left afterwards.
in germany you can only buy grinding disks that are rated over 15000 rpm and no angle grinder goes that fast its illegal for a shop to sell unsafe disks
I dont know enough about the subject to comment with authority, but Ill say this: Im from the UK, I can go on Amazon and buy a grinder with any speed rating, click on disks with any speed rating, check out ...... and 24 hours later have a disk explode in my face. Im not a fan of over-regulation, but the German way has some merits .... for the domestic (non-trade) market definitely. (I gave you both a Like, because you both have a point)
I have been waiting for this video!! Thank you very much for making this, I personally appreciate it very much. I am one of the many beginner knife makers who ran out, with zero experience, and bought an angle grinder to save time on hacksaw work.... without realising how dangerous they are if used incorrectly. I will probably watch this a few more times before I get stuck in. Great work once again. +1
Hi Jeremy, i'd like to say two things: 1-Very nice of you to support TOMS Shoes cause, 1 for 1! 2-can you please make a video (or part of a safety video) on gloves? types, materials, usage... I've made 4 knives in my life and one thing i noticed is that in Knifemaking everything gets hot! grinding, heat treating, acid etching...whatever you do things heat up very fast, so i think it would be nice to talk about gloves!
Hey Jeremy, great vid and thanks for the info! You've been inspiring me for a while and I'm working on a few sketches now. I'll start making my first knife soon. Keep up the good work! Cheers!
Yeah, I probably should have just mentioned using all your PPE as required. I was trying more to hit a few things that were specific to angle grinders with the assumption that eye and ear protection would be automatic. Oh well. I'll make sure to get the ole PPE in on the next one. Cheers!
Upcoming project involving 440 very hard, very strong Stainless Steel. What are the features I should be looking for, HP's?, etc. Also, could you comment on Cordless Grinders? Any decent ones? Can I use a Cordless Grinder on my project above? Finally, I'm a grandmother. The weight is pretty important meaning not too heavy...... or is my material going to necessitate a heavier grinder? .
my friend never wears gloves with rotary tools and so do I because you don't get your hand stuck in the motor when the chef and then I'll pull your hand then and God knows what will happen skin grows back not bone
Cant you change the rpm on the grinder ? We have a hobby Bosch one and it has the option ... Also .. I know it's been mentioned but ..How is a glove going to protect you against something thats spinning 15k rpm designed to cut through metal ?
If you don’t know how a glove would protect you, you’ve obviously haven’t done a lot of grinding in your life. Work a few years as a metal fabricator, you’ll figure it out. Also, most grinders don’t have the variable speed option.
In fact, you shouldn't use gloves if those doesn't fit extremly well with any belt or disc cutting or sanding tool, if the glove get trapped you'll have a really bad time, and that's how my dad lost half finger with an angle grinder.
Good video for Wood working beginners
yet again great useful information thank you learned alot
Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!
Like what you did securing the electrical cord!
love to see it snowing! :) great video!
Just bought mine! Thanks for the advice man!
great video :)
Great video, and don't forget ear protection too!
Thanks. Yeah, that's true. Probably should have just thrown in a "use all your PPE" to cover all the bases. Oh well. Cheers!
Have you picked a winner yet for the knife?

Good points, thank you. I have many power tools but not an angle grinder, so this helped me to narrow down my choices.
+Janet McPhail thanks Janet. Glad it helps. Cheers!
Even I already own an angle grinder, i really enjoyed your video. Thanks mate :)
Thanks for the compliment and you're welcome. Cheers!
Great video along with gloves you also need dust mask and eye protection
Metabo FOR LIFE
great job helping out the neighbors!!
And yes angle grinders are awesome
Thanks!
Good tip about the rpm, I did not know that, will need to go recheck my discs.
Nice look at some really versatile tools Jeremy, thanks for sharing.
And for metal working
Very helpful Jeremy, thanks!

You GOTTA tell us about your tractors... I saw a Massey-Ferguson and what I think was a Case...
in germany you can only buy grinding disks that are rated over 15000 rpm and no angle grinder goes that fast
its illegal for a shop to sell unsafe disks
too much regulation.

Thanks Mate. Just got mine and will be using it soon. your video came at the right time. Zee

The black button just behind the trigger on the Dewalt grinder is the lock.
what about flap disks?
Hey Jeremy, great vid and thanks for the info! You've been inspiring me for a while and I'm working on a few sketches now. I'll start making my first knife soon. Keep up the good work! Cheers!
Simplelittlelife about how much knives do you sell weekly
You forgot to mention eye protection! Great video!
I would say for angle grinders that should be number 1!
Yeah, I probably should have just mentioned using all your PPE as required. I was trying more to hit a few things that were specific to angle grinders with the assumption that eye and ear protection would be automatic. Oh well. I'll make sure to get the ole PPE in on the next one. Cheers!
yo don't wear gloves!! look up de-gloving! after that google search i never wore them again.
Upcoming project involving 440 very hard, very strong Stainless Steel. What are the features I should be looking for, HP's?, etc.
Also, could you comment on Cordless Grinders? Any decent ones? Can I use a Cordless Grinder on my project above?
Finally, I'm a grandmother. The weight is pretty important meaning not too heavy...... or is my material going to necessitate a heavier grinder?
.
Speed limitations of the grinding wheel, that's something I never thought about.
ANGLE GRINDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
ESMERILES
BUFFERS
Bosch for life! You didn't mention flap discs? probably my go to grinder disc for everything apart from cutting.
Agreed, flap discs are awesome!
Yeah flap discs are awesome. If I had some I would have shown them but I've been all out for a while. But I agree, they are great.
as soon as the video finished I ran to my discs and angle grinder to check for rpm...
My dad had a disk come apart because of the size
+FunNgun !!! Woaw! Scary stuff! Hopefully he was alright.
Simple Little Life he did not get hurt this was a long time ago but it was close
It only takes a second for an angle grinder to slice your finger to the bone. i know from experience.
I got told in trade school to never yous gloves
y u no upload for long time
my friend never wears gloves with rotary tools and so do I because you don't get your hand stuck in the motor when the chef and then I'll pull your hand then and God knows what will happen skin grows back not bone

Also, most grinders don’t have the variable speed option.
Hm ok, thx for the answer : )
lol best thing you can do to an angle grinder is take the grinder off and keep the trigger taped on....lol
Angle grinder + belt sander are the most necessary tools other than common sense.
In fact, you shouldn't use gloves if those doesn't fit extremly well with any belt or disc cutting or sanding tool, if the glove get trapped you'll have a really bad time, and that's how my dad lost half finger with an angle grinder.
gosonegr I'd rather risk that then risk loosing more from a simple kick back
how do l send you a gift as would really like to say thank you
Yeah if you feel like you want to. You can email me at jeremy@homesteadknives.com and I can get you my details there. Thank you!
