How to Use an Angle Grinder: Angle Grinder Attachments

A straight to the point look at angle grinders and their attachments.
My 4.5 inch angle grinder is the most useful tool in my small workshop. It can be used to cut metal if you don't have a band saw or a chop saw. I also use it to grind welds if a weld needs to be flush. I usually keep a second angle grinder with a wire brush installed to remove slag from stick welding or flux core welding. In this video, I show my favorite disks and wheels for metal fabrication with an angle grinder. For cutting, I use abrasive cutoff wheels and diamond cutoff wheels. For grinding, I often use flap discs.

I do not weld. But we are buying a grinder, to do some work on an old house. Old gas and water lines to cut out. Old support poles, need rust cleaned and repainted, and many other things. I was completely lost at what disks to buy! I have watched a few different videos p. Yours was the best, BY FAR! Straight to the point. Short and sweet. Yet gave more clear, concise information, rpthan all the others combined! I subbed. Although, I am not a welder. Lol but I am VERY GRATEFUL for your video! Great job!

Remember to check rpm of brush or disk. Some small grinders exceed the wire brush max rpm, causing it to disintegrate -hazardous!

Nice video Tim - short, to the point, simple. As one of the other commenters says, safety seems to be a big thing with these. How about a short video showing you using one of these tools in the correct way ? Stance, clothing, how much pressure to apply, clamping the work, etc. Like you I have a table saw and like you I'm very wary of it. Practising respect for power tools, taking them seriously, helps you both enjoy using them, and live longer. A demo from you would be cool. Thanks !

Love welding don’t love how hot it is. I built flat beds in a hot shop. Watching and learning what the puddle of metal is the important part knowing what it’s asking for and practice and adjusting your welder and keeping it going with nozel mig grease. Ive learned all kids of welders wire stick mig tig oxy acetylene was easy to learn and the welds on and it’s fun, it burns with a very bright flame.

I picked up one of those diamond wheels when I bought a new grinder recently. (Thought I had lost the flange piece, and the new grinder is 9A trigger instead of 5A slide switch so not a total waste even though I found the missing piece 🤦) Tried it on the edge of my practice sheet, and wow it feels safer than the normal cutoff "death disks". I've had a ton of their little siblings on the Dremel explode dramatically, so the big ones on the grinder get me on edge.

I’m curious about something. Sometimes friction welding is used to join two metal parts. So if you made a high friction disk for an angle grinder, could you weld one edge of sheet metal to another? There would probably need to be a little overlap.

Neither will be ideal for polishing, but you can get a nice uniform 'engine turned' style appearance with a fine grit flap disk. Polishing will require multiple stages of sanding and buffing.

Hi Tim! Thanks for your video. I just bought an angle grinder to wear down some material that a guy glopped on to a damaged boat. Way too much material, just slopped on. I just watched a different video by the Ace Hardware guy and in the comments, a number of people said they had lost fingers, toes, and one nearly cut an artery near his hip. They were not kidding. If I do everything the way I am supposed to, how nervous should I be about using this tool? I‘m concerned right now, and I am not normally a nervous person. Thank you.
@TimWelds
@TimWelds 4 года назад
Thanks for watching and for the question. As with any tool, there is some amount of risk. That being said, I have no reservations about using one as long as the guards are in place, I have good footing and grip on the tool, I’m wearing safety glasses, I’m using the right disk for the job, the tool and disk are not damaged, and the disk is rated for a higher speed than the grinder runs. I have spent hundreds of hours using one and have not had an issue. The tool that makes me most nervous is a tablesaw. I still use one regularly because I respect the tool and learned how to use one safely. Good luck with your project!

Great question. I buy the “twisted wire” brushes, which typically have a speed rating of 12,500 RPM. If you search Amazon or Google for twisted wire cup brush, you’ll find several.

Hey Tim, Does disc attachment may affect the angle grinder which causes the machine to vibrate? When I try to attach a wire cup brush and a wood carving disc to my angle grinder, it vibrates a lot. And I can't hold the grinder firmly.

As long as the arbor is the same size, the disc is rated for higher speed than the grinder runs and you have the proper guard that fits with that size wheel installed, it’s possible. I wouldn’t generally recommend it, though.
