Thanks a bunch, I just purchased the red one manufactured by RO&LY. The base on mine is sheet metal, but works fine. I am using a DeWalt 4½ inch 7.5 amps, 12,000 rpm no-load speed. It’s the lightest and smallest grinder I have and now with my little chop saw I can cut tons of flat bar 1/8 thick by 1½ inch wide or less and solid rod ½ inch thick or less, both mild steel. Also, I am using the unit with a foot pedal “Momentary ON Switch” to shut off the unit in case something happens. Angle grinders are NOT designed to be used with this stand. Replace that wheel and be safe my friend.
Looks real good to me, I've ordered one. One tip I would suggest is place some packing under the item to be cut so it stands taller in the vice this will ultimate the problem of the vice crash
I bought one of these exactly the same from a U.K. supermarket, I only bought it because it’s so cheep so thought I’d give it a go and I was absolutely stunned how good it was, you get a lot better square cut then free hand. You can move the vice further to the left so the head of the grinder doesn’t hit it, take the guard off the grinder and you can also put a 125mm disk on the grinder and get more cuts before having to change disks.
I think it's good to have that limitation on it . So you can't reach to bottom surface. If you remove it blade can hit the floor. So I think it's good to have a limit on it
Good review. I bought one of these recently in the UK, very cheap at £15 Sterling. I agree the limitation on the descent of the disc is a major drawback, however your idea of using an external vice is good. Bolt both the stand and the external vice down though! Mine is exactly the same and does look well made. I will buy another small grinder and set it up as a permanent small chop saw
Northern tool sells one made by klutch for $25. It's not a cheap eBay tool, and works fantastic. Please do not use discs that are damaged or worn beyond use. I've had them explode from improper use.
A couple of things I noticed one that you removed the bottom rubber foot pad on the squaring screws I was thinking about cutting the bottom pad into a ball and maybe if you move the vice over to the other holes it might allow for the nose to miss the vice also I was thinking about tacking with a welder the second set of nuts to the squaring screw so you can adjust the easier
Need to align you grinder with a tri square will cut perfect and change that disc before you end up with a face full of fragments, and never de-burr on the side of disc just advice
you'll go thru a lot of cutoff discs with these but you can also just get a diamond grit metal cutting blade for these grinders that lasts about as long as 10+ discs for about $15-20 great review! tysm
Das Gerät hat seine Grenzen, aber es ist schlicht von Vorteil wenn der Winkelschleifer eingespand ist und das Werkstück auch, dadurch ergeben sich doch einige Machbarkeiten, die man freihändig nicht so genau hinbekommt. Ich finde den Ständer für den Winkelschleifer gut, und das Video ist sowieso gut gemacht, gut gezeigt und gut erklärt, danke fürs zeigen. The device has its limitations, but it is simply advantageous if the angle grinder is gesppand and the workpiece also, this results in some feasibilities that you freehand not get so accurate. I think the stand is good for the angle grinder, and the video is well done anyway, well shown and well explained, thanks for pointing.
I bought one of these mounts, it has quite a few adjustment points, so I found that it was a bit of a chore to setup. The instructions that came with it totally suck.
I also bought a part for 25, - € I am satisfied. That the cutting depth is only 35mm, well I take the largest possible cutting disc or saw blade, it is not a professional tool with which I have to cut 1000 parts a day.
Yes, the bearings have long been time to change. Saved money on a new disc and too lazy to change the bearings. The horror ! He gets in the face of a disc fragment-100%. Hello from Ukraine. Да, подшипники уже давно пора менять. Экономил деньги на новом диске и подшипники лень поменять. Ужас ! Он получит в лицо обломком диска - 100%. Привет из Украины.
I was looking for a review in English as most of them here on TH-cam are in Hindi or Malaysian. To put it mildly I was shocked at your lack of safe practice in your use of a grinder. That cutting wheel should have been discarded ages ago, just look at the missing chunk out of it, that could explode at high speed and do a hell of a lot of damage your hands or face. You never de-burr against a cutting wheel, that is not what it is made for. You should have camped that base firmly to your bench, surely there's no need to explain why. This video is dated 2018 and it is now 2021, I hope you are well and in still possession of all ten digits. 🤚🤟
Hope that chipped disc doesn't explode in your face, also kids don't ever use a cut off wheel to deburr like suggested here. Also looks like the spindle bearing is fooked on your grinder 😕.
HOW did you get the grinder not to drift on the mounting pins?? it's my biggest gripe with this design ... the 'stop' bolt prevents drift in one direction but not the other -i though maybe it might be necessary to fab something to lock the grinder from drifting horizontally to the right

Thanks for the update and the way you explain things thanks once again for the efforts 👍🙏🇩🇰
Just brought one today
I don't use it as much as I intended, but it is still handy for making multiple small pieces.

that disc is gnarly dude
Yes I should not have used that disc especially for a video.
Looks real good to me, I've ordered one. One tip I would suggest is place some packing under the item to be cut so it stands taller in the vice this will ultimate the problem of the vice crash
i have a stand but its very difficult to cut 45 s
Hard to see from your camera angle but are the cuts square? The angle iron cut looked a little off
Can't remember off hand at the time, but it can cut very square if set up right.
Perfect for me. Didn't even know these existed. Good find bro!
Great idea. For safety, wear respirator to filter asbestos and metal shaving from settling in your lungs. Tip from a Tinsmith. Thanks for sharing.
Asbestos?!

Thanks for posting this. There is a sale one of these accessories at a local store and wanted to see it function prior to buying. Thanks again!
The cutting disc has some damage, you should replace that one before you'll get into a nasty accident dude.
Just got one similar off aMazon, actually gonna put it together in a few hours.
Thanks for the video!
Accuracy and price
Do they make a bigger one for a 2000wat model grinder?
Don't think so I actually was looking for one
Yes, there is bigger model.
It's called a chop saw
I think it's good to have that limitation on it . So you can't reach to bottom surface. If you remove it blade can hit the floor. So I think it's good to have a limit on it
bought one, very handy
just buy foot switch to make life easier and and safety operation without seaching for cutter switch.
Foot switch, what a great idea!
excellent review and demonstrasion. thank you!
Thanks
Good review..think I'll get one instead of making one. Thanks.
Better buy one it is cheaper on Amazon.

Could you please send me the link for this item. It is perfect for my project. Thank you for an excellent video. I've just come across your video.
Right that's a good deal for 25. And thanks, I really shouldn't have been using that disc.
@@RKM-mi1cg there was a ton of these listed on eBay, check there or maybe northern tool

I just bought mine too! Thanks for a good video buddy!
Yeah the cutting disk will have so many balance..more cutting disk to buy then
I was waiting for the cutting blade to explode into nothing 🙈
You can tell that you like to grind with it blade is due for bin
He says in the video you can de-burr with a cutoff wheel, smh
You need a new grinder and disk, they're both knackered!
That disc your using is dangerous. It's got chunks missing out of it. You can even see the wire mesh inside.
And your giving a review !!!
th-cam.com/video/vFSJCAakuMQ/w-d-xo.html
Here I show how to improve this stand.
hi mate, had you put your angle grinder to the left of the vise, you would be able to use your full cutting disk !!, anyway it looks interesting !!!
What I did I took out the grinder safety shield and used a bigger blade
Lool that disk is fucked. Your grinder isn't in there perfectly vertical and one side of the wheel is getting chewed off.
simply u can move the clamp to the left to avoid hitting with the nose of angle grinder
Need to align you grinder with a tri square will cut perfect and change that disc before you end up with a face full of fragments, and never de-burr on the side of disc just advice
RIP headphone users XD
If you have a wood cutter disc you think you could use those to make picket fence arrow heads?
is the attachment 1/2 decent ?
seen selling in Princes Auto for $25 bucks
Dont use that disk again bro
This is crap, if you set to chop something at an angle of 45 degrees, disc can't reach material and you can't chop to finish.
How to fix grinder to the stand
you'll go thru a lot of cutoff discs with these but you can also just get a diamond grit metal cutting blade for these grinders that lasts about as long as 10+ discs for about $15-20
great review! tysm

no no no ... as for the 'intereference' problem - just use the slot three inches to the left to avoid that - that's what it's there for
Still won't work, the piece you cut will interfere the same way unless you keep putting on a new disk.
Can you move the clamp to the left side?
I mean, can you disassemble the clamp? I can't on mine
I also bought a part for 25, - € I am satisfied. That the cutting depth is only 35mm, well I take the largest possible cutting disc or saw blade, it is not a professional tool with which I have to cut 1000 parts a day.
Its good, can I cut 1 inch or 3/4 th Inch PVC pipe using this set up ??
bought one to cut 45 angles, they are useless at that because of the size of the clamping.
4:52 I just noticed the output bearing in your grinder is going bad,

Привіт з Одеси!
how do you tell? mine sounds like a bucket of rocks ... it was like that since new
@@antigen4
Hi! Can you tell which brand is yours?
like ... are you asking what method i use to find out the brand of grinder??? :D or (I assume you're asking) what brand it is - RYOBI if so
Is the design flimsy when you press it down does it feel solid
Oh yes very solid.
You don't press down on cutting disks unless you want a face full of shattered carborundum.
@@oldbloke135 good to know but i was trying to say does it feel flimsy when engaging it down.
Is it safe to use? Will it work well for wood too?

Hey thanks. I agree I shouldn't have shown that disc. I should have known better, but it's all good... still 10 fingers and toes!
Ahh yes.... The Ye Ol' Imported Grinder Stand (TYOIGS), an OSHA inspector's worse nightmare...
Hmm we have one at work, that's where I first saw this type of device. Interesting to note.
Hope that chipped disc doesn't explode in your face, also kids don't ever use a cut off wheel to deburr like suggested here. Also looks like the spindle bearing is fooked on your grinder 😕.
With this type of cutter you can only call it brute force and ignorance.........
I was waiting for the assbling the tools.
Hi , try to make 45° cuts with 1 1/2 inch bar and you will see that is impossible.
What for the table has a slot to the left of the vice?
HOW did you get the grinder not to drift on the mounting pins?? it's my biggest gripe with this design ... the 'stop' bolt prevents drift in one direction but not the other -i though maybe it might be necessary to fab something to lock the grinder from drifting horizontally to the right
I think the force from cutting pushes it against the stop so it doesn't drift while you have a downward force applied.
Put it on a 3mm soft rubber mat.
In wedges a little extra washer in the pull down arm to prevent the lateral drift/wobble.
Quite funny put your safety gear on , then use a dodgy disc 😳
I was nervous to see that disc loose
Cool.
I found this tool at Lidl at 6$.
You may clamp your stuff at the upper part of the jaws to cut it in a single take.
Had one it’s junk
Its ok for small stuff sometimes, but an angle and a good sturdy vise are much more satisfying.
I am have 1....not very good..45dgr can not use...
The stand is good, but the disc and bearing of the grinder are very bad... You better wear a full face shield !
Hi , try to make 45° cuts with 1 1/2 inch bar and you will see that is impossible.
Looks like a handy accessory. Had a good laugh at all the safety Nazi comments below! I'd use that disc as well, I'd just stand a little too the side.
So where did you buy this for $40? Do you have a link?

Thank you for the quick reply and the info.
Just got one of these from Northern Tool for $20 including shipping.
Cheers
not very good..
That disc explodes and pain and blood may follow.
