DIY makita bench grinder

[Noods]

Dodgy as feck, looking.
I'd seriously ban you from my workshop if you came anywhere near it with that contraption.

Ha yeah... Don't worry I wouldn't bother.. You prob have to sign A H&S agreement to stick the kettle on in your place..

They climbed Everest in tweed jackets and without Oxygen.. The Wright bros basically laid on a wing with a prop by their ears ..

I've raced at many levels and ridden bikes at 180 mph.. Yes I've broken bones and steel plates.. But I'd rather have them and the memories any day than sitting in a chair wearing a cardy sucking on worthers originals and dribbling while clutching my prized H&S booklet..

I'd rather live and lose, than never having lived at all...

just leave the guard in place and u cant put a larger one on by mistake

I would have thought people would know you shouldn't put big discs on small grinders but apparently not.

That would stop me using the 9" thin discs down to 5" then using them up on my little ones, have done that for years and have had no problems

I'd not thought of that (Partly because I've never used a 9" disc that much) but I do save 5" discs when they're too small as I plan to make an arbour to fit them on a die grinder (I'll make a guard too.

As

yes but what diameter wheels did it originaly have fitted before the guard was removed whats the grinder max rpm and what is the disc rated at if its larger than the original grinder disks

As stated it's to be bolted down.. I have a guard which will be fitted to the bench top, and for all the speed freaks ! I've a regulator already wired in which means I can run it just as slow as I want too.. Mitsibushi for those who need to know.. The test steel piece I cut at a speed of 2000 rpm.. Admittedly with no guard at the mo..

reduced speed reduced power and an allready overloaded grinder , carry on if your happy with it every one to there own

The problem isn't the whole contraption moving around, it's the disc exploding, and no amount of bolting down can prevent this (Unless you put a bolt through the rotor). It's not definitely going to shatter, I wouldn't be surprised if the rated max speed is as little as half of what it takes to actually let go and the chances are you'll be fine but it's not a risk I'll be prepared to take.

Well that is an abortion on an epic scale, and frankly I hope you don't have children, because inevitably they will be the ones that finds daddy lying in a pool of blood with half his face missing. Seriously , take the advice given , stop being such a clever fella about health and safety nanny state and accept that what you have built is an accident waiting to happen

I like it...video of it in action please.

thank you...

My fave film is the worlds fastest indian .. Monroe.. An inventor and yes a chancre, he didn't go to B&Q in hard hat safety specs and ear defenders.. And Reach for the Sky.. Bader.. Yes he lost his legs taking a risk! But, he still smiled, stuck one finger up and carried on.. I'd rather be that way than these.. Don't play in the snow incase you fall over, no conkers unless you wear gloves and goggles types... Man up!

To many I'd say .. Come meet me and my family... My kids will tell you where their Dad came from..
At 14.. For helping a disabled kid . He received a year of sickening abuse.. Every finger and toe broken at least once.. Acid burns .. Scarred by heated up metals.. And they were the minor events.. I don't wallow in it .. I help other kids in my free time via the NSPCC.. "My scars are a map of where I've been.. Not where I'm going "
X NOODS.. Thanks for you pos comment.. Appr..
