Wood Tools Workshop Your very Welcome Fred I loved it. Great Job... :)

Hi Fred. Thanks voor the videos. They are very clear and you are a good teacher. I had a lot of fun building the station using the materials I had laying around. I'm a slow builder so it took me a month or so. I would like to post a picture, but I don't know how or where I can do that. Thanks again! Greetings from Holland, Hans

You can change the orientation of the switch very easily. The head bolt pattern on most grinders are symmetrical on both axes. Unscrew the head from the body of the grinder, pull it out slightly and turn it so it is relative to where the switch can be easily accessible.

Very interesting setup! thanks!

This is a really cool setup! I really enjoyed looking at it. Enhancement thoughts: I would prefer a trigger switch, foot switch or one mounted to the body of the rig. Most of us are in the habit of moving the blade down to the mark on the work piece to ensure accuracy. If the blade came on automatically when the handle was dropped, that action would be tricky.

@Woodtoolsworkshop

Good point, thanks. I'm going with the foot switch for now. If I build one of these for anybody else we'll have to discuss how they want to do it. Of course, a grinder with an accessible switch would make all that a moot point, especially battery-powered.

Great build Fred. Maybe add an adjustable stop for downward motion to account for wheel wear. Maybe a modified bullet trap design at the rear to catch the metal debris. Definitely an on/off switch on the frame. Maybe a pivoting fence with detent pins for the most common angle stops. Thanks for the inspiration.

@Woodtoolsworkshop

Thanks, Robin! In hours, I really have no idea how long. It stretched out over weeks while I had a lot of non-shop-related responsibilities demanding my attention. Given my knowledge of it from this build, and if I had all the materials here at hand, I could probably build another one in a long dedicated day (like, 10 to 14 hours). That's not allowing drying time for glue and finish.

@RobinLewisMakes

That's not bad at all, especially when you consider how useful it

Way cool! Pattern or not, that's a tremendous build. Something that might work instead of a switch would be a foot pedal in-between the tool and the wall.

@Woodtoolsworkshop

Yeah, I like the foot switch idea best, so I'm going with that. GP Woodworks pointed out that the trip switch on lower/raise is not such a good idea, and the foot pedal appeals more than a switch on the base.

Hey Fred, very nice project. I don't do alot of metal work, but when i do it would be nice to have that to work with. Also i'd like to say that i really like the way you produce and edit your video's. Ooo btw the right size bit for the 1/4-20 insert is 11/32 but they are harder to find than the 3/8. Keep up the good work and Thumbs UP!!

try a piece of sheet metal for a spark arrester and add some magnets to it so the metal dust will stick to it ,,,,, as for the 45 deg option ,pivot one fence(right one) on the central screw to a pre set stop block at 45 deg and insert the back screw , and for power switch ,, why not use a switch plug combo with lite indicator , i use one on my router table , and sanding machine i have made , great video i could see my self with one like this ,lol

Nice job Sir, I was looking for a project such as this, instead of paying out big money for one of those abrasive circular saws, those suckers are expensive, and the wheels for them are atrocious prices. This will work perfectly and will be a nice little project. I can cut my parts out of my overpriced cnc.....that's why I have to be careful with the cash, that thing, although awesomeness incarnate cost me a small fortune. But, if you are considering buying one, I say, "best money i ever spent!"

That's a great Idea I would make one for the Big Angle Grinder when I have a second one. For "Dust Collection " maybe just build a box on the end with a Magnet in it That would catch most of it. You could do a adjustable fence like the Bigger metal cut off saws those are very easy to make but annoying to adjust so what you could do is something were you can drop in a 90° Fence and change it to a Adjustable one. Just some thoughts 😉

No, it's a B&D, but standard US voltage, 110 (it calls it 115 on the label). I got it when an Ace Hardware nearby was going out of business and had everything marked way down. I scarfed all kinds of goodies for next to nothing.

@Woodtoolsworkshop

8 жыл бұрын

The fence bolts to two threaded inserts on each side of the u-channel. There is one set in front, and one set at the back like a radial arm saw. I put it at the front as the default location because most of the stuff I cut will be rods, bars and small items, and they're easier to handle at the front position. If I ever have to slice through a wide piece I will move the fence back.

Awesome.

Really cool station. The insulation on your door...are you happy with its performance? Does it do well for sound dampening as well, or just in insulating?

@Woodtoolsworkshop

8 жыл бұрын

I'm happier with it than I expected to be. This is what was originally a 3-car garage only attached to the house at one corner, so exposed walls on all sides. The side with the doors faces due west in central Texas, and the afternoon sun in July/August could bring the inside temperature to as much as 120F. At the same time I did the doors, I had insulation blown into the other three walls, put 14 inches in the attic, and added its own air conditioning separate from the house. I also started to put a radiant barrier in the attic, but a few hours of sliding around on 1x12's in that stifling, dusty air ended that project. I can cool the shop one day, turn the AC off and not use it for a day, and still feel the coolness when I go in a day later. The panels are only held in place with a couple of clips, but they don't sag and I've never had one fall out when raising either door. Sound dampening... I turned on some loud tools (like, my air compressor) and walked out toward my neighbor's house to see what it was like. I could hear them, but it was a low hum and not annoying. Even so, out of respect I don't use power tools out there past about 10 PM.

@BruceAUlrich

8 жыл бұрын

Really interesting. I'm in Mississippi and my door faces North, but doesn't matter this time of year (August). It is unbearable with the heat and humidity. I know the insulation on the door will not help with the humidity, but I'm just looking to cut the heat down a bit, and the cold in the winter. It will get down to nearly 40F in the winter, and that's too cold for finish...and like you said, up near 120F in the summer. What was that insulation you used? The standard batte stuff for walls? What are the clips you used to hold it in? I was looking to use rigid insulation like most people I see that do this, but the "R" rating is typically really low compared to some of the other options.

@Woodtoolsworkshop

8 жыл бұрын

It's been a year now, and I don't remember for sure. I got it at Home Depot, so it was probably Owens-Corning. The clips come with it. They're two parts. One sticks to the door and punctures the batt, and the other locks into the first to hold the batt in place. It looks flimsy and cheap, but they've held up through a lot of raising and lowering that door.

a bit risky, when the cut off wheel brokes the debree can hit the direction of where ti rolls, either the one who use it.
