Hello @galenkp good day
Another great topic to talk about this weekend.
My favorite invention is the "angle grinder" is a tool that has endless uses, works on electricity and in recent years they have evolved, now there are also wireless models, although this is very expensive
I have commented in another moment that I am passionate about working with reclaimed wood, as it is wood that was destined for the trash, it requires a lot of work to leave it well to use it again, that is why I love the ¨angular¨ grinder.
This tool works with different discs, they can be cutting or polishing discs, the cutting discs vary according to the surfaces you want to cut, there are for cutting metals, wood or seramics, the polishing discs also vary according to these surfaces
The grinder is an extension of my hands, without it I feel that my hands are missing
There are many stories about this tool, misuse can be dangerous, there is a lot of information on the web about this topic, here I share a small video of what can happen if it is not used correctly

I recommend a lot of care when using this tool
It was invented in 1954 by a company called ¨Ackermann¨ + ¨Schmitt¨
I take this opportunity to wish you all an excellent weekend
The angle grinder is a very useful thing, dangerous as hell in the wrong hands, but super-useful.
I'm a tool-guy...Have many and one of them is an angle grinder. Mine is corded but a cordless is on the cards soon, the technology has advanced so far that they are a legitimate option now...Certainly for home handyman use which is what I'd be using it for.
Interesting that it was invented in 1954...I would have thought earlier...It's interesting though, that so many inventions come from the need to do a thing...So many just sort of happen by mistake but many inventions are borne of necessity to do a thing. The angle grinder is one I'd say. A most useful tool and invention.

No DIY'er am I. I envy the skill, the mastery of tools and the ability and foresight to create a thing that initially only exists in the mind, but nope, I am a consumer of tradesmen ((that sounded massively weird, not just me, right???))
It's good to know one's limitations. I'm pretty good at this stuff but not that good that I don't have to stand back and say, really, you want to do that? And then think it through. I can use tools though, and often do.
Sometimes the cable can be annoying, there are cut positions that the cable does not allow, a wireless would be the solution, I think that all of us who use this tool should have a
There are many tasks at home that require the use of a grinder, it is undoubtedly very useful
I think it was very well designed to serve multiple purposes with disc changes
that you enjoy the rest of the afternoon very much
I often run the power cord up and over my shoulder to keep it out the way, or sometimes up over something else above me...Keeps it from dangling.
It is a danger to be maneuvering the cable when the tool is turned on, so accidents happen, once the cable is hooked with the wooden cutting disc, luckily the circuit breaker cut the electrical power
ENGAGEtokens.I need one of those. I do all my woodworking by hand and even though it's learning, it's tough! That looks like some lovely thing to help get stuff even and cut without too much effort. Thanks to "Ackermann and Schmitt" for that invention!
how are you @ bertrayo good day
How good that my investment was to your liking, and that above all it was very useful for your work
The good thing about this machine is that it allows you to change the discs, you can buy a wood cutting disc, a metal disc and a flag disc to polish and brush the wood, these have several granites that go from 40 to 120 the higher the number , the thicker the granite. with this tool the work is much faster.
I take this opportunity to wish you a splendid weekend
I'm fine. Hope you're doing well.
Yes, it looks like a fantastic tool. I bet it even works in a fixed position to sharpen tools.
Have a great weekend!
Hello my friend, it's been a while since we crossed paths, great to see you 😎
Oh anyone, I mean anyone that knows me, knows I should keep well, well away from power-tools! We all have strengths and weaknesses and long ago I realised that working with tools and my hands was not mine. I envy you 'real men' who are great at this stuff but I was not born for it lol.
Without tools like this that deal with a complicated, annoying aspect of a job, tradesmen would struggle on jobs for longer, consumers would pay more in labour costs and I may have to attempt to use tools myself and that is a terrible option 😱 I love that you bring new life to materials that others think have ceased to be useful, this has a great number of benefits to us all. 👍🙂
How are you dear friend @stevenwood it is true time without seeing each other, we did not meet in another commitment challenge and now we meet again with the same themes
The use of tools is for all people, it is only a matter of practice, twenty years ago I would never think that wooden furniture would be manufactured, it is encouraged, practiced and very careful, I respect the tool you have in your hand. without a doubt you will too, I was totally null with them
I like to contribute my grain of sand to the care and reduction of the felling of trees, it is the reason for starting to build things with old pallets that were destined for the trash, but I would never make so many types of furniture and best of all buy me, life surprises you at all times.
very happy to answer your comment
I'm a peanut grindin fool! My last weld table I got real good at signing my name in cursive with one.
Never used one on my welds, just cleaning the material before I ran a bead. Some 'welders' use them to hide their ugly welds.
the grinder is ideal for that kind of thing friend @dandays leave the welds smooth, you can also use a flag disk for metals, it is impeccable, you should see that the finish has another presentation unless your welds are an invisible type seam, I have seen welders do that
