Best Angle Grinder Hack
Ever wondered why you can't use every bit or grinding wheel on one device? Technically, every tool has an optimum spinning speed to work efficiently and have the best result. Still, you can lower your expectations to save some dollars and achieve the unachievable with this hack!
Some of these rotary burrs work best on a long neck grinder, the collets work well on a router, and bits work best on drills. Now it's true, you can mount all of this on a drill, but your drill won't be able to spin fast enough for some of them, or simply because of the long design of the drills, you might not be able to use them in a tight spot and you will need something like a right angle drill; like I said it'd not gonna be perfect but you can do a lot of these things with this hack.
What if we could have a chuck on an angle grinder!??? The problem is normally the threads on a chuck are not match with the ones on your angle grinder. But I just have the solution...
I measured my angle grinder's bolt thread with a metric gauge, and it shows 2mm for the thread distance and Also M14 diameter. According to the metric thread chart, we must start by drilling a 12mm hole.
So, I grabbed a 12mm HSS bit, mounted the chuck on my drill vise, and started drilling. (It is very critical to mount your chuck perpendicular; otherwise, you will face vibration when using it)
Then started the tapping procedure with my three pieces M14x2.0mm set. (Don't forget to use oil or some tapping fluid)
After threading, the chuck will fit on the angle grinder, and you can mount many things on it. Don't forget to use safety equipment.
