Attachments for the grinder: improving the tool

Required tools and materials

When starting to manufacture a cutting machine, it should be understood that the accuracy of its work is directly related to the stability of the structure. Therefore, the choice of a material of a certain thickness is dictated not so much by the requirements for the strength of the case as by the need for its rigidity.

Before starting work, you need to prepare:

• profile pipe "square" (25x25x2.5 mm);
• profile pipe "rectangle" (40x20x2.5 mm);
• metal sheet 4–5 mm thick;
• ball bearings No. 202, 203 or 204 - 2 pcs .;
• a bar calibrated with a thickness equal to the diameter of the bore of the inner bearing race (up to 100 mm);
• a rod with a diameter of 8–10 mm;
• metal tire (20x4 mm);
• M8 or M threaded bolts and nuts.

Of the tools you will need:

• Angle Grinder;
• drill or drilling machine, a set of drills;
• a set of dies for cutting metric threads;
• open-end wrenches;
• welding machine.

For the manufacture of the machine, it is better to choose a grinder from a well-known manufacturer

The main unit of the cutting machine is the angle grinder. It is not recommended to use a "small" grinder designed for cutting discs with a diameter of up to 125 mm and a power of up to 500-600 W. Remember that the larger the diameter of the cutting wheel, the more versatile and reliable the machine will be.

The thoroughness of the choice of power tools is also due to the wide variety of grinders designs on the market. Since such equipment is not standardized, the cutting machine is built for a specific model and size of angle grinder. If the equipment is unreliable, then in case of failure it will be difficult to install another grinder in its place without the need to alter the mountings and the pendulum. That is why it is better to choose products from trusted manufacturers - Makita, Bosch and so on.

Milling machine

• with a movable angle grinder. In this case, the tool is securely attached in a vertical plane to a special frame that allows the grinder to move relative to the workpiece being milled, which is fixed motionless;
• with a rigidly fixed angle grinder. With this design, the workpiece moves in the desired direction, and the grinder is stationary.

In both cases, you need to think over the design, purchase everything you need to assemble it, and also buy a collet-type milling cutter holder or make it yourself from a hexagon. The figure shows a simple, quickly manufactured design of a router from a grinder.

Protractor for grinder

By resorting to the use of such devices, you can easily calculate the cutting angles of the workpieces. And this has a positive effect on the speed and quality of the work performed. In addition, such a device is suitable for cutting metal profiles.

• The construction of this type is widely in demand when working on the processing of wall and floor tiles.
• They are also used for cutting and processing floor coverings and skirting boards.

Having made a protractor for a grinder with your own hands, you will no longer need to purchase special tools, which are quite often expensive and have large dimensions. A homemade protractor is not suitable for industrial use, but for home use it will be an excellent replacement for store accessories.

The principle of operation of the construction of a homemade protractor

install the guide angle

Then you need to tightly press the workpiece to the corner shelves. After that, the user must set the desired cutting angle.

Next, you can proceed to cutting the material.

When performing this action, it is necessary to take into account that when cutting, it is necessary to press down on the blade slightly. No serious physical effort required

A homemade protractor for a grinder has a structure consisting of the following elements:

1. Corner.
2. Hinges.
3. The bolt used for fixing.

Note that it is quite difficult to make such elements with your own hands. Therefore, if you are not sure that you can cope with such a task, then it is better to purchase ready-made transport models in the store.

The grinder is a fairly popular tool among builders and repair specialists. It can be used to cut various materials and process workpieces and parts. However, sometimes specific operations are required. Therefore, experts purchase special attachments for the grinder. They can be found in stores without any problems.

The use of such devices allows you to expand the number of options for using this tool. However, it is not always necessary to buy them from hardware stores. If you wish, you can make them yourself. For this you just need have free time and know how to make the right attachments for the grinder.

Observing the recommendations of specialists and fully following the instructions, everyone can make attachments for this tool, which will make the grinder a universal tool and facilitate the work.

Types of adaptation, their advantages and disadvantages

There are two types of cutting machine designs, differing in the location of the grinder, which can be made at home.

The first installation is a frame with an angle grinder rigidly fixed under it. On the working surface, only the cutting disc is visible, which freely passes into the slot of the table. Cutting a metal profile or sheet in this case is completely identical to cutting wood blanks with a circular saw. Despite the very simple design, such a scheme is not very popular. Those who made such a device note the inconvenience in use due to the need to move the workpiece. This greatly reduces the accuracy of the work and makes the process unsafe. The only advantage of a machine with a bottom angle grinder is the ability to quickly cut thin metal sheets.

The cut-off machine with the bottom position of the grinder can be used both for cutting metal and as a circular saw

The second scheme, in which the part remains stationary, and the cutting wheel itself moves, is more convenient. The so-called pendulum saw, located above the tabletop, allows you to cut the workpiece exactly at the required angle, while it becomes possible to make the required number of similar parts. Due to the location of the grinder on top, cutting the workpieces is effortless, and the operation of the unit becomes simple and safe. The undoubted advantages of the design include the ability to quickly dismantle the grinder for traditional use. As for the disadvantages of this method, the weak link can be considered a hinge joint, which complicates the design of the machine.

The machine for cutting metal with an upper grinder has a more convenient design and makes it possible to cut blanks at the desired angle

Grinder bench grinder

Required fixtures and materials:

• grinder with abrasive disc;
• racks (16 mm);
• a small piece of scrap (square or rectangle from 12 to 25 mm);
• plywood (6.5 mm);
• hand saw;
• drill with assorted drills;
• reciprocating saw or copy saw;
• optional, but highly recommended.

Step 1: Design. This model is for a cheap sander. Think over all the details.

Grinding machine from a grinder

• Step 2. Getting started.It will take a base and some support to get your grinder high enough to clear the wheel. Processing can be carried out using a hand saw.
• Step 3: support. Mark and cut out the 2 side supports, then forward and secure them with screws, pre-drill them (dimensions may vary).
• Step 4: drill and fastening. Next, you need a bolt that fits into the hole for the handle of your angle grinder.
• Step 5: Rebuild the fixture. Now you need 2 sides. Where the scrapers will make the circuit stronger, but if you don't have the fixture, it will work without them.
• Step 6 Dowel pile. A tongue is a groove or groove in the edge of a piece of workpiece material for attaching another board; there are several ways to add this. The simplest of them will be with a table saw, but if it is not possible, another way is possible. Method 1. Mark where you want to get the tongue, clamp the piece and use the saw, cutting gently on the side of the line. If you want to make this easier, you can take a piece of wood and place it on the side of your line to create an obstruction. You can keep making cuts along the side until you get to the end, and then cut out what is left of the excess material.
• Step 7: Method 2. This method is much faster and more accurate if you have a router, you can make a small table for it.
• Step 8: Combine the elements. Now fit your 2 sides and measure the top of the product, cut out the required cover and install.
• Step 9: strap. One bolt is not enough to hold the angle grinder. The bolt is exposed to the flow on it, so find some strapping material, duct tape. Such items will work if you have absolutely nothing. You can use a small strip of metal.

Materials and tools to make grinder attachments

Angle grinder wheels and discs can be made from a variety of materials. However, in general, a diamond blade will provide maximum precision and polish. Wheels are available in a range of abrasion (or sand) levels. Use a higher abrasion accessory for rougher polishing surfaces.

However, despite all this, many people still decide to create accessories for Bulgarians with their own hands. If you decide to independently create adaptations for a working grinder for, then before starting work you need to prepare the necessary tools:

1. An electric drill is desirable.
2. Set of drills.
3. Discs should be selected with a diameter of 125 mm.
4. Wooden blanks.
5. Metal corner.
6. Steel plate.
7. Self-tapping screws.

When it is necessary to use a grinder for specific tasks, in this case, many craftsmen make a choice in favor of ready-made applications. They can be bought without any problems at a construction supermarket. The cost of the devices is not very expensive.

Do-it-yourself wall chaser from a grinder

The wall chaser from the grinder allows you to do tracing on all building materials with your own hands in absolute safety and in the absence of dust. This wall mount is very useful when you need to make cuts for piping, place cables for electrical systems, and for installing pipes for hydraulic systems.

The saw blade, mounted on the shaft, is the main element of the device. To ensure safety, the discs are mounted inside a special case, which prevents fragmentation and receiving them personally when cutting.

Do-it-yourself wall chaser from a grinder

Depending on the properties of the material and density, it is recommended to choose the engine power for the wall chaser from the grinder with your own hands. A modest block is sufficient for the cable furrow. For a long pipe groove, it is advisable to purchase a grinder with a power of at least 2000 watts.Some high-performance models are capable of reaching speeds of about 6,200 rpm, which guarantees the ability to cope with an industrial scale.

But the design of the grinder is such that it cannot be used due to the active formation of dust. They often resort to modernizing the device.

You can design a device with two discs. Installing the machine from a suitable do-it-yourself grinder of this type will cost more. The first drive is attached as usual and the second is mounted. A second nut is required, which has an additional ring to secure it. When working on a wall, the sander should be in the protective cover.

Cut-off machine

The cut-off machine is used for cutting and cutting metal and profiles, obtaining blanks of the same size, cutting to a certain depth, cutting ceramic tiles, etc. In the retail network, you can purchase a ready-made structure that costs a lot of money. You can make a device that will perform the same functions at home and small workshops from a grinder with a power of 0.9 kW or more.

The figure shows that for the manufacture of such a device, it is only necessary to think over the design and reliable fixation of the angle grinder. To do this, you must first determine the dimensions and fix at 2-3 points so that the tool does not move during the cutting process.

And this is very important

The grinder can also be located at the bottom of the table top. In this case, it will not only cut different materials into pieces, but also work as a circular saw.

Wall chaser from a grinder

On the basis of angle grinders with a power of 1.2 kW or more, it is not difficult to make a device for making grooves (grooves) in the surfaces of walls, floor and ceiling. The main task is to install two discs on the shaft. After all, it is they who cut a groove of the same width and depth for laying cables, wires, pipes of small diameter. The size of the native shaft of the angle grinder does not always allow them to be installed there, and even at a certain distance. In this case, it is necessary to make bushings in order to fix the disks on them to the required size using spacers of different widths. Since the protective cover of the grinder is designed for one disc, it becomes necessary to manufacture a new protective cover that would protect the worker during the operation. It is often necessary to provide such a protective casing with a branch pipe for removing dust and small waste to the vacuum cleaner. More advanced craftsmen of angle grinders are installed on special rollers (from 2 to 4) in order to reduce the load on the hands while moving and effortlessly move it over the surface. The unit for adjusting the immersion of discs into the surface, the design of which also needs to be thought out, will not be superfluous.

When working with accessories based on a grinder, safety precautions must be observed. Under certain circumstances, they can harm human health, cause injury and even death. Before starting work, you must:

• put on overalls and personal protective equipment (gloves, goggles, dust mask, earplugs);
• check the reliability of fastening of all components of the device;
• check the integrity of the electrical cord and plug;
• make sure that a disc of the required diameter is installed, without flaws and appropriate to the work being performed;
• check the operation of the device at idle speed.

• make sure that the electrical cord is not twisted or stretched;
• do not remove waste during the work of the grinder with your hands;
• the material to be processed must be securely fixed, if it is provided for by the technology for performing the work;
• do not work with the device if there are signs of its malfunction;
• replace the disk with a new one or a broken one only after stopping its rotation.

At the end of the work, it is necessary to disconnect the device from the electrical network.

In the video, you can clearly see the devices, where the grinder is an indispensable element of the design. They will help home craftsmen to facilitate the implementation of many operations, increase the quality and productivity of work, expand the capabilities of the grinder.

Miter box

How to do:

• Step 1: Create the base of the stand.
• Step 2: preparing the material
  • Adjust the dimensions of the metal plate 200 × 100 × 2 mm so that the sides are at right angles (90 °);
  • It is necessary to cut 2 blanks of an iron bar 40 × 30 × 3 mm;
  • Mark the center and drill a 10mm hole on one side. The hole must have a diameter of 7 mm;
  • Cut two pieces of 150mm iron;
  • These blanks require 3 holes. The hole must be located 10 mm from the edge;
  • The holes must match the bolts;
  • The shaping of the rods is necessary according to the grinder to fit the profile of the machine;
  • Cut one piece of 30mm iron rod. Drill a 7 mm hole.
• Step 3: Launching the Bracket
  • Then screw these parts into the machine and adjust them. One will be fixed in the right side hole and the other will be fixed in the top hole;
  • Then give a soldering point;
  • Then weld another 30mm piece already drilled. For easier alignment, use a 7mm screw to secure them. Then it is necessary to weld (give only one connection point) a piece of 30 mm iron rod on the side.

It is important at this stage that the end part is at right angles

• Step 4: Base
  • Take 2 pieces of 40 × 30 × 3mm iron bar and place them on the sides on both sides and replace the screw to join them together and make soldering easier.
  • Position the attached set of brackets and sides on the plate so that it is more offset to the right. There should be a slight difference on both sides.
  • Then it is required to weld the elements of the device (give only one soldering point) on both sides. Make the necessary adjustments. There should be no excessive displacement.
  • To facilitate movement, two washers are intelligently fitted between the side and the handles.
  • After checking alignment, carry out a final weld.

Step 5: Completing the Assembly Observe whether you move freely, and the angle can reach - 90º.
After checking alignment, carry out a final weld.

Step 6: Processing the base. Mark the cut. Start by gluing the corners and finishing with a saw.
Step 7: Base with grinder installed. Take advantage of the handle support that already accompanies the hardware and replace the originally installed screw.
Step 8: Screw depth hole. The screw allows you to adjust the depth of the cut

Pay attention to the longitudinal and lateral alignment of the disc.
Step 9: Reminder. Remember that this instruction is for a grinder with three factory holes.

This allowed the machine to be secured in the support, and the third hole adjusts the depth of cut during operation.

Pendulum saw

• Step 1: Create an angle grinder bracket. You can use the threaded holes in the grinders as anchor points for the bracket. There are many ways to approach a pen, depending on the type of grinder you decide to work with. Critical measurements are needed to put together a functional design that allows the grinder to be easily detached for handwork. It took five pieces of a flat metal rod to assemble the device. Welding them together created a custom bracket.It is necessary to weld a short armature as a rod to attach the wooden handle.
• Step 2: Create a clamp that firmly holds the handle of the grinding head against the head of the adjusting bolt.
• Step 3: You will then need to attach a leg to the front end of the rods to secure the grinder's bracket by enabling the hinge function to allow the grinder to pivot towards the cutting table.
• Stage 4: Creation of the base. It is possible to use a simple frame using tubes and mount them with two pieces of iron. It is necessary to form a flat platform for fastening the slide mechanism.
• Stage 5: Build.
• Step 6: Add a cutting table. The cutting table consists of a steel plate. After all parts are assembled and adjusted, level the vertical surface of the cutter wheel.
• Stage 7: Final testing.

Pendulum saw

For the manufacture of a cutting machine, you will need materials:

• profile pipe 40 x 20 mm - 0.32 m;
• profile pipe 20 x 20 mm - 1.38 m;
• profile pipe 15 x 15 mm - 0.34 m;
• strip 40 mm - 0.14 m;
• strip 20 mm - 0.16 m;
• bearings 100th series - 16 pcs .;
• M10 bolts for a hexagon 75 mm - 8 pcs;
• nuts М10 - 12 pcs;
• washers 10 mm - 32 pcs;
• long nuts М12 - 3 pcs .;
• long nut М10;
• M12 bolt with full thread 200 mm;
• bolts М10 40 mm - 2 pcs .;
• hexagon bolt with full thread 70 mm;
• caps for profile 20 x 20 mm - 6 pcs;
• caps for profile 40 x 20 mm - 1 pc;
• profile pipe 50 x 50 mm, for a guide - 2 m or more.

Further in the photo, the process of making homemade products is shown.

First of all, we will make a roller carriage for the linear guide. As its basis, a profile pipe with a section of 20 x 20 mm will be used. You will need 4 blanks with a length of 300 mm.

Then, in the blanks, you need to drill through holes for the future connection of parts. Their centers are located 25 mm from each edge of the profile pipes. You will need a drill with a diameter of 11 mm.

We turn the enlightened profile to the other side, and stepping back 50 mm, we drill similar through holes on each side.
To hide the bolts used in the future when assembling the carriage, through holes in the workpieces need to be completed. To do this, one wall of each profile must be reamed using a drill with a diameter of 17 mm. So all 16 holes are finalized, the remaining 16 adjacent to them remain untouched.

We will make a shoulder for attaching the grinder, cut off a 40 x 20 mm profile, 300 mm long.

You will also need to make a knot to adjust the depth of passage when cutting. It is made from a 20 x 20 mm profile pipe, 160 mm long. Its ends are cut at an angle of 45 degrees.
From a profile pipe with a section of 15 x 15 mm, you need to cut small spacers 40 mm long. A total of 8 pieces are required.

Putting the structure together. An M12 bolt with a continuous thread, 200 mm long, will be used as the connecting hinge. 3 long M12 nuts are screwed onto it.
Having fastened the bolts with nuts with clamps to the table, you need to attach blanks from a pair of 20x20 mm profiles, and one 40 x 20 mm. The pipes must be welded to the nuts.

Then, from strips 40 mm wide you need to cut 2 blanks 50 mm long. In the center, closer to the edges, drill along the hole with an 11 mm drill.

These plates will serve as a fastening of the grinder in the standard holes used for attaching the handle. In some tools, these holes can be made for M8 bolts, which will need to be taken into account. For reliability, the 40 mm M10 clamping bolts must be equipped with nuts. The bolts are screwed into the gearbox through the plates and tightened with nuts.

Now, slightly stepping back from the fastening of the plates, a previously made blank from a 20x20 profile with a length of 160 mm is boiled down. On its free end, a plug is cooked from the same strip as the attachment for the grinder. A hole is drilled on the protruding ear of the plate, and an M10 nut is welded onto it. To strengthen the structure, an additional 160 mm steel strip must be welded on the side of the profile, also sawn at 45 degrees.

After painting the parts, we assemble the carriage. This requires M10 Allen screws, 75 mm long. It is necessary to pull the blanks of shaped pipes 20 x 20 mm together. At the same time, a pie is typed between them: washer, bearing, washer, spacer, washer, bearing, washer.Repeating this 7 more times, the result is a finished carriage.

Assembling the grinder mount.

On the table, install the guide and roller carriage. Its height is regulated by a lining of wooden blocks. The tool is attached to the edge of the table. The workpieces for cutting are pressed with a pair of locksmith clamps. For convenience, you can cut in several passes, each time adding the depth of the cut.

The machine makes straight and precise cuts.

The result is a convenient metal cutting machine.

We also recommend watching a video showing the process of making a cutting machine from a grinder and testing it.

Stand for grinder

No matter how skilled a craftsman is, he needs the perfect attachments to get his job done. The grinder stand is provided as a great tool for perfecting these corner pieces.

Stand for grinder do it yourself

The grinder's stand allows you to grind at perfect angles 115mm-125mm. If the rack is made of aluminum alloy, this allows you to have a fixture that will undoubtedly last a long time.

Get more out of your angle grinder with a convenient holder. Angle grinders are dangerous tools. Homemade grinder jigs will allow you to have more control over them, but still we must use all the necessary protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves.

What you need:

• Woodworking accessories.
• A piece of hard plywood 300 × 100 × 20 mm.
• A piece of hard plywood 150 × 100 × 20 mm.
• 1 x M12 screw, 30 mm long.
• 2 washers M12.

Grinder holder

The design is very simple, you only need to form a 150X100X20 part, adapt it to the shape of the grinder.

Making fixtures yourself

To facilitate the work on angle grinders, various designs were invented that increase its functions. The presence of the equipment makes it possible to use the angle grinder as a belt sander. It is not difficult to make attachments for a grinder with your own hands, moreover, it will cost much less.

Accessories for the grinder

• Tripod
• Retainer
• Fraser
• Miter box
• Wall chaser
• Extension

A tripod is a device that frees one hand. The angle grinder is held by only one, and with the other hand it is possible to support the metal and turn it if necessary. It also makes it easy to set the desired cutting angle. It allows you to do your job safely and efficiently. The frame is made of metal profiles, an auto-shock absorber, sometimes even plywood is used. Such an improvement is permissible only for a machine with 125 mm discs, with a larger size it is dangerous, since the cover has to be removed. You can take different options as a basis or make your own drawing. The main thing is that the tool is securely attached. The most convenient way is when the grinder is attached to the protection casing. Only 2 bolts per 10 and 2 nuts are required, which are attached to the outer part of the casing. 2 more plates and a pipe on which everything is screwed. And the switch should be made non-fixed, you can use a foot pedal, then in case of a non-standard situation it is easy to stop the machine. If the structure for cutting metal is solid, then you can use it for sawing wood.

Clamp - there are many clamps, but the best option for attaching a grinder is a vice. They hold firmly, and there is no need to support with a hand, thereby reducing the risk of injury. The swivel vise increases the capabilities of the machine (bevel cut). When you install the desired disc or file in a vice, you get a sharpener, but by unscrewing it, you can do the work manually. And by fixing the stops with a slot across the disc, the processing can be very accurate. The most popular option is a band sawmill made of angle grinders.You just need to have a reliable bed and well strengthen the machine.

A milling cutter is another tool for a grinder. The machine has a powerful motor, so it can be converted into a router. To do this, pull the shaft out into the opening of the workbench and put on the chuck with milling heads from above. The resulting homemade grinder is used to process hard wood.

It is important to remember that the device is not intended for this type of work, so you need to take care of your safety.

The miter box is a rotary surface for a grinder. With the help of this device it is easy to cut the plinth, baguette, profile

All you need to do is put the required disc, then the surface is fixed at an angle of 45 degrees, and the machine is ready to work. You can cut any platband for a wooden house or paving slabs.

The wall chaser is the right tool for the grinder. Used for laying wiring by hollowing out recesses in the wall. However, this is not safe. When making a nozzle for a grinder, working on a solid base, it can cut walls to the entire diameter of the disc. With a good sole for the grinder, its guiding movement is carried out smoothly, without much effort.

Extension cord - used for plumbing and plumbing work in hard-to-reach places.

How to make a bed for a grinder

It is obvious to everyone that it is extremely difficult to hold a heavy instrument for several hours. Therefore, to facilitate their work when performing an operation, many craftsmen make special devices called beds. When the grinder is equipped with such a device, the cutting work can be done with only one hand.

To make a bed, you first need to make a wooden box. You can get by with only one side, on which the tool will be fixed. All other walls can be removed, and instead of them, legs of a special design can be attached.

But in order to achieve the effectiveness of using a grinder with such a device, it is necessary to make some changes to its design.

The first step is to dismantle the grinder's casing. After that, the disc must be put on the instrument. When this action is performed, it must be pressed against the side wall of the device.

It is necessary to put a mark where the clearance was made for the travel of the nozzle or disc. Its width should not be too large, otherwise foreign objects during work may get inside the structure.

The gap can be increased if desired. The need for this arises in cases where it is necessary to replace the nozzles without completely disassembling the entire structure. Sample wood blocks can be used as support elements. After that, you can start cutting the workpieces.

Scope of cutting machines

Cutting disc machines are widely used in metalworking, mechanical engineering, woodworking and furniture industries. The units have found their application in the household as well: they are used as a handy tool for performing various works in the workshop and garage. The cut-off machine is convenient to use for solving a number of tasks:

• dividing the metal profile into segments of the required length;
• cutting sheet metal;
• obtaining a large number of the same type of workpieces in a short time;
• cutting ceramic tiles;

• cutting parts at any angle, obtaining cuts of the required length, depth, and so on.

Due to their relatively low cost, universal units have quick self-sufficiency, so they are beneficial to use in small industries and in small workshops.

In the household, the cutting machine is used irregularly, so buying a factory-made tool is irrational.Better to make a special bed for an angle grinder. This will increase the versatility of the grinder, turning it into a small-sized cutting machine.

Work technology

Further, six holes should be drilled in the plate structure. The diameter of each of them should be 4 mm. Subsequently, it is in these holes that self-tapping screws will be installed. With their help, it will be possible to fix the handle, corners and timber. All holes must have special grooves for the screw heads.

To securely fix the handle of the bar, several self-tapping screws are enough. The fasteners used during this work should be 3x35 mm in size. This will produce an L-shaped part.

After that, all the elements together with the plate are compiled into a single structure. The created tool attachment must be fixed using self-tapping screws 3x20 mm.

So, the basis for the future design has been completed. Next, you will need to install metal corners. You should have several of these items in stock. They must have the following dimensions:

• 75x30x55 mm;
• 45x60x60 mm.

Please note that the first corner should be bent up to 60 degrees. If this is not done, then it will not work to achieve its main goal - to fix the manufactured structure on the grinder

When the installation of the metal corners is completed, the tool itself is fixed directly to them.

To connect the tool and structural elements, a separate handle is used on one side, and bolts with nuts, on the other side. The latter are necessary so that during the work there is no loosening of the screw of the structure.

If you wish, you can refuse to mount the nut on the handle, since it will be held by the hand of the master during work. At this point, the work on creating a structure for cutting can be considered complete.

Manufacturers

The most common and popular attachments are cut-off wheels. Good discs for metal are produced by Makita and Bosch. The best diamond bits are produced by Hitachi (Japan) - such discs are universal and can successfully cut any material.

Grinding attachments from the American DeWalt company are appreciated. They differ in the material from which they are made, can be: from a sponge, matter, felt.

For working with stone and metal, special peeling nozzles are used. The highest quality of them are the products of the companies DWT (Switzerland) and "Interskol" (Russia). The products of the latter company stand out favorably for their combination of price and quality. The named companies also produce good roughing discs, which are diamond-coated.

In addition, DWT manufactures high quality angle grinder tips called cones. They are used to remove old paint, cement, primer.

Fiolent produces a variety of very good quality turbine nozzles. Prices for attachments from this manufacturer are low. "Fiolent" appeared on the market relatively recently, but has already managed to gain a good reputation and authority.

The company "Bort" from China (Bort) also makes good attachments for grinders. As you know, the products of Chinese manufacturers are traditionally distinguished by a low price.
