Last summer I've made, in my opinion, useful bracket for my Kobalt angle grinder

after using it for a few months I made a small modification

I would be interested to know if you see any Pro & Cons
P.S. This is my first post in this forum.
That bracket looks good, apart from providing a solid mount for the grinder.
Nice idea, I was wondering about using a sanding disk on my grinder in a similar manner
ok... I gotta hand it to the Russian Dude... :thumbsup:
That's clever as shyt... It is a very cheap Bench grinder, and you repurpose a unit, that is not used very often, unless you're a machinist or a steel working working on a hull :)
Very clever indeed. All is needed is a additional bracket, with a pivot point, and you have a mini benchtop cut-off saw... :bananadance:
...... nice addition with the cut off plate, I would have probably secured it to the bar, with screws from underneath. Some 1.5" long screws, with large wing nut heads, or nice ones with large handle knobs...would suffice.
The drawing of the bracket.
Please keep in mind that this drawing is done for a Kobalt angle grinder Item #: 461797 | Model #: 9815 available at Lowe's store or at http://www.lowes.com/

Adds some nice and versatility stability to the grinder. Might want to use some locking pliers or a small drilling vise to hold metal parts you are cutting. Your fingers get pretty close to the cut off disc in the second video.
hi i would like to know if there is any way i could purchase a copy of a drawning for making a bracket for a 4"grinder
simply click on the picture above and save itQuote:

With safety in mind I made a small but an important change
the opening for the cut-off disk was way to wide so I weld it shot and cut a new opening

That should give more support for the work, good job.

The whole tool is excellent and the narrow slot idea is a really good safety feature. If I was to make one I would consider extending the work rest an equal distance to the left hand side so that longer pieces can be laid across the rest.
It would mean chopping off the top of the left side vertical box section to extend the tool rest, but when done would allow you to cut say a 1 metre or more length of steel in half.
Another quick thought would be to make the tool rest table of angle iron with the narrow slot cut in the flat and vertical section of the angle so that the cut off blade is almost totally enclosed when viewed from the front. If the grinder guard was then adjusted down to touch the vertical section there would be less chance of a disintegrating wheel doing any damage.
edit: The vertical of the angle rest would also serve as a backstop to keep the cuts square.
Hola Factor..bueno el accesorio, y como mencioné en otro post, sería bueno (por lo menos para mi) un pedal de arranque-parada con un swich con sistema de seguro por arranque imprevistos, muy bueno, hasta pronto.
Кронштейн для болгарки отличная идея. Что я бы добавил, так это регулятор скорости. На многих моделях он отсутствует, а щётка на скорости 8-11 тысяч оборотов очень травмоопасная штука.
As you were looking for further input and, if I may make a small suggestion, and this is just from watching the video as I haven't built a bracket yet:
I noticed that the original grinder bracket projects above the new addition of the base plate which, by the way, is an excellent improvement.
I'm wondering if the design may be adapted so that a longer piece of material could be cut wherein the length of material to be cut could extend past the main upright bracket support. In other words there would be a flat plane extending in both directions at 90 degrees to the cut off wheel. This may entail rerouting the support arm that connects to the back of the grinder.
Thank you
