You forgot highly overpaid

And I also forgot overly modest

Yeah the chain really didnt wear that much at all. A sharpen up and it was as good as new. Probably about the same as 3 loads of wood worth of wear

When Kris did that with his mav we used a hacksaw to cut it off in the middle of the night ahaha

to cut some roof sheeting i have used the 7 and 1/4 circular saw with the blade turned backwards so the teeth don't grab the sheet and end up tearing it works really good

With this maybe this thread can be closed

I always wear gloves using my grinders handles and guards always fitted no homemade attachments like a die grinder shafts or modified 9 inch guards.






Might have told a few lies there,

9inch grinders are the most awsome tool when matched to the appropriate job. A 9inch grinder is only dangerous in a idiots hands other than that its a brilliant tool. Some site wont allow us with 9 inches on it so we just swap the 9 inch guard with a 7 1/4 guard.

I can never find my disc spanner when I need it.....

[megatexture]

apart from my 9" i just finger tight them up and twist the blade to tighten more.

I bought some Bosch 125 cutting blades from Masters. They are are quality disc, never again discs from trade tools!

I have a 4,5 and 9 in angle grinders and recently had trouble using the 4in doing some cutting jobs. The discs shattered and broke pretty easy. The job was just cutting some aluminium posts.

After researching the web and reading about some of my bad habits which I wasn't aware of, I thought this the place to ask of those in the trade.

What disc for what job and how to apply disc size and wattage of the grinder to a particular job.

Also read that the 9in grinders have been banned on worksites!

Should have found this before I tried yesterday, bits flew everywhere......................just got a tungsten carbide tipped metal disc to try, looks bloody aggressive though
