Hi
This is a simple attachment what makes angle grinder more easier to use.
Still prototype, but works. Maybe one can get ideas from it.

Some improvements. I'll update this section until its finally "done".
1. Another option for the handle.
2. Screw that locks the angle grinder to the stand so that it doesn't move sideways when tightening screw is loose. Good when using as a chop saw. It also secures straight cuts if tightening screw opens itself.
3. Quick tightening action with simple thump screw, made from M12 nut and piece of flat bar.
Down its loose. Up, its tightened.
4. Bigger guard for safer use.
5. add supports that guides angle grinder to the same line with the base, faster and easier assembly.
6. Optional support wheel, helps with wood carving and grinding.
Will be continued with the attachments for grinding and pipe cutting... Also im waiting my wood cutting blades, Attachment 18693
Then this will work as a circular saw too.
Stay tuned!
Attachment nro. 1:
Very simple grinding rest.
Attachment 18723
Attachment 18724
Attachment 18725
Attachment 18726
Made from 2mm steel with my diy brake.
Just clamp both to the table at the same time and grind.
Love that video of the whole build process. I absolutely need to build this so I can stop injurying myself with all the different grinder processes.
Thank you

Thank you. Im working on with the pipe cutting attachment atm. That was the actual reason with this. It should be finished soon. I'll be back then.
This is a pretty amazing attachment you have come up with. I would imagine that if you made up a parts kit, so people could weld their own, they would sell like hotcakes. If you ever do decide to sell them, please let us know. I would be in for one at least. Hell even if you were to put up a measured drawing, I would pick one of those up. Great work.
Thanks!
Here's the attachments.
Pipe cutting tool and the grinding rest.. This prototype fits to pipes between 50-125mm diameter. Planned for jobsite work. Makes possible to cut straight without need to remove pipe etc.. My goal is to make bigger one for the pipes over 200mm diameter. That would be very helpfull at my work.

Excellent! A very clever and helpful tool. Neat design, kept simple and VERY effective at what it does.:thumbsup:
Thank you very much!Quote:

Hi Tuomas,
Your tool accessories for the angle grinder show that you are a very resourceful and talented tool user. The design and quality build of each piece is top notch. Each one of your builds are not only extremely useful, they are precise and user friendly as well. Your exceptional accessories have given a simple angle grinder a whole new standing in the shops of many of the members on this great site.
You have shown, in my opinion the spirit of this site with your kind efforts and talents to share these accomplishments with many grateful members and guests. Well done Tuomas. Our angle grinders are now multi talented.
Thank You Kindly, RR
Thank you very much. I had no permission to use my fathers tools when i was a kid, so i have improvised all my life. I don't know should i be gratefull or not. :DQuote:

Tuomas, Your early experience sounds very similar to mine and probably many others, I was very much in my fathers way in the garage and he taught me nothing, but I learned a bit from observation and went on from there. I think we should all be grateful for it has made us what we are.Quote:
