Now it has become convenient to work - a simple modification of the grinder

If the grinder has a thick body that is uncomfortable to hold in your hand, it can be extended with a wooden handle. The instrument modified in this way will be much easier to hold in your hands than originally.

Materials:

• wooden blank for the handle;
  
• thin sheet metal;
  
• clamps with worm clamp – 2 pcs.;
  
• wood screws.

Handle manufacturing and installation process

Their wood requires a handle to be cut for installation at the end of the grinder body. It can be made from timber or logs. Its shape should resemble the handle of a cleaver.


Having given the handle a convenient shape, you need to drill it from the end to the diameter of the power cord.


The back cover is removed from the angle grinder body and the wire and plug are disconnected.

You need to wind it through a homemade handle, then remove the cover and screw it back to the terminals.


2 strips are cut out of tin and screwed to the handle with self-tapping screws at the top and bottom.

The removed cover is installed back on the body of the angle grinder.

Then the handle is screwed to it with a short self-tapping screw. Next, it is fixed to the body of the angle grinder by the strips with two clamps.



As a result, the handle receives a fairly rigid fixation, and the tool can be used for its intended purpose.
