Klutch Angle Grinder Holder

My angle grinder has been sitting in its box since I bought it several years ago. Been a little afraid of it so have been using a hacksaw to cut metal. This holder, plus reading the reviews, will give me the confidence to use it safely.Update; Got it assembled. Watched uTube videos first. Considering the many angle grinders out there, this holder had a lot of design thought put into it. Forget trying to read the instructions. Just use the pictures and watch a couple of uTube videos. Figuring out where to start was the hardest part. I loosely assembled everything and then it was obvious what went first. My HF low cost grinder needed an extra spacer forthe grinder wheel to line up with the base slot so I plan on leaving it in the holder as a dedicated chop saw. Also the 2 allen wrentches will beattached to it for quickly making adjustments. The plastic shield seemed flimsy but I went ahead and put it on. Only when I test ran the grinder did I realize how important this shield was. The grinder had a metal shield to cover the inside and top of the wheel and this plastic one covers the open side of the cutting wheel. Very thoughtful and important safety feature.Just want to add this precaution to those new to angle grinders, like me. It spins at a high rate of speed and the grinding wheel can break. Take care to protect eyes and skin and do not stand in line with the cutting wheel. This tool can be dangerous but also, with care, can be your most useful tool because it can do so many different tasks.Used the Klutch AG holder for 1st time outdoors . Cut 1/2" rebar quickly. Goodbye hacksaws.Used four 2x2 antivibration pads under the base corners. No need to fasten it down.

This is a cool design, and well made. I was surprised how well made the cast pieces were. Assembly is a little confusing and clunky, but not too bad. Note that this is NOT for tiles or sheet steel. It is for clean cuts on bar stock, rebar or small tubes (2"). It has a nice vise that can be angled...and actually has graduations on it so you can roughly mark the degrees of your angle!A few noteworthy things: The fender/spark guard thing must be some industry requirement, but it makes it hard to remove the angle grinder...My grinder has its own guard, so I didn't even bother putting that piece on. The handle on the holder is cheesy plastic...but I don't care: I find it more natural to hold the trigger on my grinder down, and pull by the grinder handle, not the holder itself.My biggest gripe: It is kind of tedious to remove the grinder and re-install. It mounts using various bolts and spacers which have to be kept up with...but that is the nature of a one size fits all design. All in all...once it gets assembled, it holds the grinder well...but man I wish there was a quick disconnect so I can tackle plate steel in between tubes.Best use...cutting tubes...because no matter how hard I try, I always spiral around the tube and it never lines up on the other sideUPDATEI have used this tool a few times now. I like it. Once you get it adjusted and set up the first time, it isn't difficult to pop the grinder in and out. I leave the bolts that hold the grinder in hand tight so no tools are required. If you operate the grinder by holding onto the grinder itself and not the holder, you don't need every support and joint to be rock solid. Your cutting depth is mostly limited by how much your blade sticks out from the hub/spindle of your grinder (true for whether the grinder is in a holder or not...), not the holder itself. Even with some larger tube, I have found that as long as you can get the cut started, you can either rotate it around, or free hand it once the cut is started. This worked great for bar stock...I made several off road light tabs to weld to my bumper, and this made it easy to cut the bar stock several times at the various marked lengths. Nice clean cuts.All in all, it is useful if you need it. Know what kind of cutting you do, and this may work for you.

It is well built but it is impractical. Once you put a grinder on it, it will only cut about 2” max, if you have anything any wider, you have to stop and readjust. I can do what this does by hand easily

I got this hoping it would let me leave the full-size saw on the shelf most of the time, and that is what it did. It will cut off tube or angle up to about 1" easily, and 1-3/4" by cutting from both sides. It's also handy for coping corners, where it is easier to leave the grinder on the stand and manipulate the stock.Installing the grinder was easy and it fit right. I haven't had to take it off (it's a spare) but it should take just a minute. The stand is plenty solid, heavy enough to stay put, and all flat and square.I recommend a diamond blade. A foot pedal power switch is also handy.If only the clamp screw had a quick release, it would be perfect. It seems like it would be possible with maybe one more cast part. As is, it's not worth using unless you're cutting more than a few pieces at one size.

It’s quite delicate looking but will do the job with small projects.

I needed to notch the ends of some brass RC shaft couplers so I bought a  TruePower 919 High Speed Mini Miter/Cut-Off Saw, 2-Inch (colors may vary)  but could see right away when I opened the box that it was a mere toy. I immediately returned it then stumbled across this universal angle grinder mount. It seemed like overkill for doing precision work but boy was I was wrong. It is awesome! As you can see from my photos I don't have the blade centered over the cut out slot because my aluminum jig isn't long enough but I am not cutting all the way through, just notching. This thing is infinitely adjustable and rock solid once you tighten everything up. The great thing about being able to use an angle grinder is that that are an infinite number of blades, blade types, diameters and widths (kerfs) available. The only modification I did was to use a dimmer switch since having the grinder at full speed would be too much for my needs. I had one leftover from a hair dryer-powered blacksmith forge I had previously built and that worked great to control the blade speed.
