Thank you so much for such excellent video. I just got today my first angle grinder from HF and despite seeing 7-8 videos, NONE of them explained as clear as you did on how to attach the different disks, paying attention to the flange nut orientation plus emphasizing on safety at the same time. Awesome. These prior RU-vidrs should learn from you on how to make an excellent set up video. Just subscribed. Bravo Zulu!🙂
The first thing imma use my angle grinder for is to cut my cars aftermarket plastic sideskirts shorter. I bought a metal cutting wheel... I think it might have been overkill but i might need it in the future. Wish I had a garage. Really sucks to be doing projects in my apt living room. But anyways thanks for the info
Super helpful, exactly what I needed! I was having a loosely spinning blade, turns out the dimpled nut was facing the wrong direction. Thank you for the help!
Hi Rob. I am a university student attempting to build a sofa with a steel pipe frame. My university has one of these machines (Hossfeld Universal Bender) but no one seems to know how to use it, it’s been around so long. Would you be available to possibly do a video call with me and give me a tutorial on how to use it specifically for my needs? It would be greatly appreciated.

Excellent video. I have one thin wavy/fragile looking circle piece you did not address. Any clue as to what that is? I have never used a grinder. Just using it to polish with 4” felt polishing wheels.
Hey Taylor, The manual came with the machine. One of the past school technicians put together the binder and added to two colorized pages on the angle Iron flange out instructions. If you own a Hossfeld, I would call them up and see if they'll send you a copy. The official one is printed on sturdy stock and has good clear illustrations and images. Otherwise I have an OK scan I might be able to e-mail but the images are a bit blown out.
I had a lot of old pipes and rebar to cut up and from what I read ru-vid.comUgkxPDBfLu68o58Aw85O_J-zIFfjJARBhp-3 this would be the tool for the job. Since I had never used one, I watched a couple of youtube videos and I'm so glad I did. Some really good safety tips, which I followed, and this tool did a splendid job. One good thing to know is the weight of the tool puts just about the right amount of pressure on the metal I was cutting, so I didn't have to use a lot of pressure, which is more likely to jam the tool. It made fast work of my job.
If you have a good hard and wear resistant stone on a die grinder and a light touch, you can do tight spots, and it won't be too chewed up - might not even need a sanding pass if it's fine enough a stone
Excellent presentation with valuable information for inexperienced grinding wheel opertors like myself. This was very helpful and probably prevented me from injuring myself or others. Many thanks!
I bought a cutting wheel and it came with 2 washers. Not sure if I need them, they seem redundant as the wheel size fits snug with the size of my arbor. Any thoughts ?
They might be spacers to fit different size arbors than yours. The inner rim of the wheel should fit a feature on your arbor nut or the existing spacer that came with the grinder. It shouldn't ride directly on the threads of the arbor. If it fits snug and runs without vibration, you are probably good to go. Just be sure to wear your safety gear. I always wear a face shield when using a cutoff wheel on a grinder. They have a tendency to shatter if you run them wrong, so keep that guard on and stay safe!
