Very pretty. Shows how a small grinder can so serious work.
Here is my copy from about 20 or so years back plus a big daddy. Oil bottle for size perspective

I put a bit too much pressure so have bent it a bit (like some commercial ones I have) but it still works fine.
You can never have enough clamps/cramps.

Yeah, those thin discs can splinter everywhere cuttin through clothes etc. A friend copped some in the face (& hospital) because he would close his eyes rather than waste time & fit safety glasses. Of course in a stand the machine doesn't wander a couple of degrees which usually causes the disintegration (or a previously wet disc). the other of course is pushing/forcing the tool beyond its design. seen plenty of guys wrecking even drills by pushing too hard.Quote:
