Angle Grinders

[doug boardley]

totally agree a grinder has its place, got one last week used it to score tiled walls before tiling on tile,

now you couldn't do that with a dw200lps:lol:

I don't want to teach grannies to suck eggs but watch out when using them to score walls - I had a blade explode on me - used the way I bet we all have - 45 degree dabbing the wall to score it prior to plastering as it happens, I must have put a tad too much sideways pressure on it and bang, I stood there watching it wrap its power cord around itself until it stopped. Nightmare. Another close shave

frogeye now a respecter of tools

mmm not the type of close shave you want in a bathroom:joker:

I was in the kitchen of my first house. Luckily it was completely empty. I escaped without a scratch. Not so lucky a few weeks later when a pair of old step ladders broke as I was stripping paint from the bay window. Fell straight through the glass. Thabk god my wife was there - I managed to slice through the side of my neck and nick my jugular - blood pumping all over the place

frogeye nearly and ex frog on so many occasions

I got a likkle Bosch (green DIY 'un) from B&Q for £25.
Bought a diamond blade for it and I have to say it's one of the best little grinders I've ever used. Feels as good to use as a Makita - really!

You know it makes sense....

 

[frogeye]

That's one hell of a mains cable!

Scoring with your rubi makes if even better!

If you want quality that lasts a long time then the Flex is the one for you.

Angle grinders, still used?

Got to say this was a good thread. Cordless grinder with a 4.0Ah gives some usefull
working time without getting wrapped around a cord. Wet cutters a pain dribbling brick red water if working 3 flights up and no chance of cutting outside the communal entrance.

Must admit wouldn't be without my Flex, probably the most versatile piece of kit I own, cutter, polisher, grinder, drill (I use M14 threaded drill bits) variable speed and built like a battleship!

This looks like a good idea with a diamond blade
