[kitesurf_phil]

I used to have a 4.5" one.

You going into competition with the good Dr.Anglegrinder then Phil?

[Maverick]

Ah but what size is the doctors?

[kitesurf_phil]

I have only cut a piece of scaffold pole so far (to make a stub mast for my ham radio antenna rotator). It went through like a knife through butter.

I am not going into competition with Dr Tony but I am starting to home-brew some bumpers, rock sliders etc for the Zook. I am then going to make some steps/sliders for the Surf.

[POPEYE]

Whoever said size dont matter only had a 4.5" one Those 9" are much better, used mine for steel and brickwork, with a diamond wheel on it goes through brick and concrete like butter, a real handy piece of kit but a bugger when it kick's

yeah they do kick a bit but then so can a 4.5".
I'm a bit cautious of grinders now, wont use one with a thin cutting blade in anymore since I had one shatter and slice through my overalls, T shirt and arm down to the bone whilst cutting off an old bolt on a trawler rudder while at the top of ladders, ouch loads of stitches

I've had mine for about two years and so far I've used it to cut about 150 concrete blocks, numerous engineering bricks, some floor tiles all the panhard rod drop bracket kits I've made...........And a 1987 Mini Mayfair into small enough pieces to fit in the rear of the truck to take to the skip!!



I'ts still going strong.

[Vagrant No2]

I got a 4.5" and 4" grinder so does that count as a 8.5" grinder ?

the worst disc cutters i have used are the 14" rail-saws,they clamp to the rail and when they kick they kick back bloomin hard,if they were'nt clamped to the rail then you would be thrown to the floor if your not carefull

also handy for cutting off wheel clamps so im told

[jamsironwork]

bloke i work with was using a 4.5 with a thin cutting disc, managed to get the disc in his hand somehow went straight through an artery and ligaments. that was 2 weeks ago and he still dosn,t have any movment in his thumb. was a bit messy

[Gamedawn]

When I saw the title I thought you'd taken advantage of one of those many spam emails

[kitesurf_phil]

I have scars on my knuckles from carrying on using my 4.5" grinder after the guard fell off.

One of the guys on Difflock had his 9" grinder kick back on him today and luckily only the guard hit his shin but it still drew blood.

I like my brothers petrol Stihl Saw but he doesn't let me take it away to play with it. I'm lnly allowed to use it in his workshop under supervision.

Those tablets would be too dangerous Roger especially with an angle grinder being waved around.

[fatfires]

So who has the most then?

Can I claim the title, all in every day use 4x100mm, 2x 125mm, 2x 225mm & 2x 355mm chop
Before you ask, yep just too lasy to change blades, disks, wire brushes etc!!

And I thought I was greedy with 3 x 115mm, 1 x 180mm, 1 x 230mm grinders & 2 x 355mm chop saws
