  • lol 90% + 90% doesn't equal 100%

    great video though!

  • Let me add some hard learned safety suggestions. They don't tell you this anywhere.

    - "Pops up" = cold cocked like a prize fighter. If it wraps around the end of something it can do a "discus thrower" thing and accelerate at you MUCH faster than you think. (Ask my ER doc. No joke.)

    - Throws bristles. One went 3/4" into my stomach through my shirt (don't even turn it ON without full eye protection.  Glasses DON'T work!)

    - Gloves - oh yeah.

    - Heavy clothing (apron best).

  • Hi I have a question for you I bought a Grinder and a 1/16 in wheel but having a hard time to pop it on without hitting the guard I turn over the back plate to it's highest point but I'm having a problem with the plate staying in a tight position it comes loose while I turn it on I did notice that the plate is flat and my other 1/4in plate has a high wise so there's a gap between the plate & guard do you have any suggestions? on why.

  • is this Brian From Briansmobill1 ????

  • I -REALLY- recommend wearing a respirator or some other kind of lung protection when heavily disturbing the surface of metal (or generally any material for that matter). 

  • @805Bink He mentioned the name in the video towards the end, it's called a flap disc. Small is far too vague, both flap discs and angle grinders come in different sizes. You might have a 4 1/2 inch angle grinder, to which you would mate the disc size.

  • the first wheel you took off your grinder.....what is that kind called ? Because i am gonna try to get a dewalt grinder and i just want to know what its called....And would it work with a small dewalt angle grinder or would i have to take off the guard ?

  • En contre mi respuesta, i found my answer

  • here with such stupid ass then his eyes fly.

    ОДЕВАЙ ОЧКИ!!! ПРИКРУТИ ОБРАТНО ЗАЩИТНЫЙ КОЖУХ !!!

    WEAR GLASSES! Screw BACK COVER!

  • here with such stupid ass then his eyes fly.

    ОДЕВАЙ ОЧКИ!!! ПРИКРУТИ ОБРАТНО ЗАЩИТНЫЙ КОЖУХ !!!

  • Wear Proper Protective Clothing !!! these little metal wires fly off and can go through your normal clothes.
