2 simple and useful homemade attachments for an angle grinder

The functionality of the angle grinder can be expanded by connecting various attachments to it. As a result, it will be possible to obtain full-fledged metalworking machines at a low cost. Let's look at 2 designs of attachments for grinders that you can make with your own hands without welding.

Materials:

steel plate 5-10 mm;
door hinge;
strip 20x2 mm;
bolts, nuts;
corner 20x20 mm.

2 in 1: miter saw, hand-held circular saw

From a steel plate you need to cut a base for the attachment, approximately 12x19 cm. Holes are drilled in the corners and threads M10-M14 are cut into them.

A door hinge with cut sides on one plate is screwed to the sole. To do this, you need to cut threads in the holes so as not to use nuts on the back of the base.

A piece of strip is screwed to the trimmed sash. In this case, a bolt and nut are already used. A hole is made in the strip to screw the grinder to it. The bolt is screwed into it instead of a removable handle. It is necessary that the angle grinder disk be located along the edge of the sole and run strictly parallel.

2 holes are drilled on the sole strictly perpendicular to the cutting disc.Threads are cut into them and bolts with a round head are tightened.

Bolts with locknuts are screwed into the sole at the corners. They will serve as legs. The result is a miter saw. Bolts in the center will allow you to level the workpieces to make cuts at right angles.

You can also remove all the bolts and install a wood saw blade on the grinder to use it as a hand-held saw for cutting. To do this, you need to secure the rip fence and slide the sole along its edge.

Emery attachment

You need to take a piece of corner 15-20 cm long. Holes are drilled in it along the edges. Next you need to bend the bracket out of the strip.
In its center you need to make holes, aligned with those previously drilled in the corner. To make bending easier, it is better to make cuts with a grinder. The staple and angle are then twisted together.

Similarly, you need to make brackets from the corner of the shelf onto the side parts, and screw them on. This will allow you to attach a steel plate on top.

After this, you need to screw the angle grinder to the first corner not covered by the plate through the standard hole for the handle. The resulting attachment is clamped in a vice. Now it can be used as an emery machine with a stop table.
