    Quick locking tilting angle grinder handle.

    Hi

    This is very simple, but usefull "tool" for your angle grinder.

    It allows to adjust the angle of the handle of it.

    Takes less space when stored.. gives more ergonomical hold from the grinder in different task..

    when cutting, grinding, in different positions or workpiece down or high.

    Edit, plans:

    Structure is very simple, but here's the plans. So you don't need to think whole system by yourself.


    First picture is the part 1.

    Its made from three parts. 2pcs 30mm x 20mm x 3mm flat bar.( part 1.1 ) And one 20mm x 26mm piece of 10mm thick flat bar. (part 1.2 )

    Parts 1.1 are weld to parts 1.2 so that gap between parts 1.1 is 20mm ( same as the thickness of part 2 )
