Have no pics and just remembering about it now since haven't used it in 2 weeks but the blade was cutting into my movable tray. Has this ever happened to yours. If so, what was causing this. Obviously there's something out of alignment but anyone know what was the cause.
Hi guys,
Is there a technique other than a steady hand to getting straight long cuts using a grinder. Also mitres I've seen a set up of a 45deg angle block and cut freehand but only on small cuts.
Trying to make a decision on whether to upgrade to a cordless grinder and batteries or to spend...
