Angle Grinder Chop Saw
Contents
Basics
- A Jig that Adapts an Angle Grinder or Cutoff Tool into a Chop Saw for Roundstock or Threaded Rod
- Although not as precise as a Bandsaw or Ironworker etc, they are inexpensive and can "get the job done"
- More Precise (and Ergonomics) as Cutting by Hand as well
OTS Options
- No Integrated Motor/Angle Grinder:
- "BEAMNOVA Upgraded Angle Grinder Stand Universal Fixed Grinder Holder Sliding Handle Bracket Adjustable 45 Degree Clamp with Protective Cover" ( ~50 USD )
- A Video by the YouTube Channel "Roger's Shop" Titled "Beamnova Angle Grinder Stand" ( ~12 Minute Watch )
- "TAUFAOD Holder Angle Cutter Stand Cast Iron Cutter Heavy Duty Multifunctional Cutting Support Bracket Machine for 100 and 125 angle grinder" ( ~27 USD ) (Verdict seemed to be not some amazing expensive tool, but convenient cheap and "got the job done", also supposedly this video is good assembly instructions (unlike what was included...)
- "BEAMNOVA Upgraded Angle Grinder Stand Universal Fixed Grinder Holder Sliding Handle Bracket Adjustable 45 Degree Clamp with Protective Cover" ( ~50 USD )

- "Mini Miter Saw Electric Power Table Saw Benchtop Cut-Off Chop Saw Max 45 Degree Cutting for Metal Wood Working Crafts Miniatures Plastic Compound Cutter, Orange" ( ~57 USD )
- This seems to be the one Adam Savage on Tested (YouTube Channel) and Chrise Borge modified, so may be the better option for that reason alone
Existing DIY/OS Versions
Full Devices

Modifications of OTS Devices to make them Better

- Recorded live Stream, so bits can be skipped. Also don't want to get to a Cult of Personality type mindset, but he does do well making things in the shop so good resource on that, and watching his workflow/mindset can be of use for planning those types of things
