This is what I love about your channel. You build expensive tools at a much lower cost with old dirty tools to assemble it. This man, ladies and gentlemen proves that you don’t need multi thousand dollar cnc machines or laser cutters. God speed good man

I suppose you don't need 45 degrees if you haven't built it. Maybe in the future you will make that too because I love your explaining of everything and also your joy.

P.S.: Your edits and also your voice looks alike that TKOR, with Grant. Maybe you know his channel maybe not, but that was a joy to watch until he's not present here among us. So, your channel brings me there too, ofc with your passion and ideas.
Cheers!

Great a great idea. I always am a little leary using an angle grinder as a cutoff tool especially cutting small pieces without cutting my fingers. The video is very explanatory how to assemble. I need one of these, I will build one of these. I've enjoyed all your videos I've seen. I like your vise on your workbench. Keep up the great videos.

I love your videos. I am going to upgrade my cut off wheel though to a diamond blade cut off, because I'm getting tired of smelling carborundum. I use an angle grinder a lot. I just never thought of making it a chop saw. Very well done

Good vid.Sturdy looking and not over complicated.Did notice as I was watching a modification I would/will make. A chamfer at the bottom of the vice jaws for holding bolts and bars a little more securely

This looks good. I like the way you put this together, especially the way you wired it directly to the power switch. To make it a little more versatile I would add the ability to do miter cuts. I see a couple of ways to do it by either making the grinder movable or by making the fence into a removable plateform and then making a miter cut plateform. For durability and safety I would install a metal plate were the Sparks will hit. I am planning a small shop on my back porch and thus is definitely an item I will be making. Thanks.

Super handy item, we love how you recessed the rubber feet. We will have to log that one for a future project!

First class Tommy. Ever practical and inventive. Just brilliant.

A lot simpler than other ones I have seen!!! Thank You Sir!!!! Great Video!!!! 😲👍😎

I like it, easy to build and simple, better than other peoples ideas, good job.

[houtjeboom]

Nice
Instead of cutting away the pieces for the blade gard you also could change the possition of the gard to move a little backwards

[jimbossemi-customs]

Excellent job! I love the videos that do not require owning expensive tools to make, definitely going to make the one!

[hansdegroot]

Very clever build. Thanks for sharing the video and your skills.

Not bad at all, I’ve been trying to figure out a good easy way to deal with cutting rebar without buying expensive equipment, this seems like a good idea. Wonder what size tube steel or angle iron I could cut with it.

[spartybuck]

Rewatching this video as I'm gonna make a similar and seeing it in operation on your bench gives me an idea. I love the built in ruler to your table. I'm wondering about a bottom cleat on small tools like this so it rests in the same spot on the table, a plexiglass viewing window and you could use your ruler on the table to make your measurements. Trying to figure out other small tools that would be helpful to use the same ruler, a drill press and maybe pocket hole machine is all that comes to mind, thoughts?

Iv'e seen a few videos of different angle grinder stands but this one I like the best because of the much lower pivot point of the carriage for the angle grinder.


I especially like the detachable front pieces as that allows for lots of different attachments, clever idea. :-)

[alanstrathern]

I really like this. One future modification could be to put the grinder on a slide like a chop saw has. You could lines in small sheets for example..

[JerryMS-DOD]

Great build and video. All the less expensive angle grinders I have come across say not to use them with cut-off wheels. But, it seems everyone does. Any idea why the manuals state this? Thanks

Very nice build ....simple, effective .... job done.

[warriormonk]

I like your design. Looks better than the cheap ones on Amazon.
