| Post subject: | Base Mount for an Angle Grinder |
Hey everyone, For those interested... am sharing my idea of a simple base mount that I had constructed for an angle grinder tool. Background: I wanted to use the angle grinder tool for shaping the top of my guitar body. But, I couldn't trust myself to hold the angle grinder tool manually (being inexperienced). I searched around for a good alternative, but to no avail that was suitable for me. After some brainstorming, using scrap wood and hardware I happen to have around, I came up with this solution. ...was very effective for me If interested, Vid documentary here: https://youtu.be/ZMQ1BuvIpMw |

Scares me to think of you doing that. The only safe way is to hold the tool. I've carved mandolins with the Lancelot holding it in my hand. Sorry but this post gave me the willies. |

And if the grinder digs into a hard knot in the wood and throws your guitar body - then what? BAD idea. |

Out of curiosity how is this more dangerous than feeding wood into a router by hand? |
