Why it is Not Patented? Insert Cardboard Into Angle Grinder and Amazed

I was a metal worker. So I use grinders quite a lot. I've seen discs explode, (quite regularly) I've seen people catch loose clothing in them and the grinder has climbed up them and hit them square in the teeth. I've had it happen to me and luckily my tshirt jammed it up just below my neck. I've seen all kinds of accidents with them. Even a fine disc can chew flesh up VERY quickly. I just would never use a grinder without anything but 100% respect. As manufacturer intended. Edit: it's cool to read the working men of the world in agreement with regards to safety, because I know it comes from experience and respect for yourself, your trade and tools. Also, it's nice to have a shared experience and respect with people in the trade from round the globe. All the best from England.

For all of everyone's iron polishing needs. Another idea is to go out and buy a polishing wheel.

WOW...that's almost as good as the polishing wheel that i got from Harbor freight for $1.99 but alot more work.

Mission accomplished. 4 minutes of my life I'll never benefit from and will never get back...

Обожаю таки лайфхаки, когда есть деньги на DeWalt и нет пары долларов на полировальный диск))

Here's a tip, while buying the buffing soap buy a buffing pad at the same time from the same place.

Прикольно получилось! Но из валенка быстрей и надежней!)))

So you went over budget on the DeWalt grinder and couldn't afford a polishing disc then?

Гениально! А не подскажете, как из стула сделать табурет?

Для меня это диковато потому, что есть войлочные круги, которые этот эрзац из картона не заменит.

Let me just waste an hour of my time to save $2

Putting an angle grinder near a knife like that seems like buying a ticket for the Darwin awards

Wow! Not only did I have several old boxes just sitting there, uselessly waiting to be recycled, but I also had several hours without anything to do. This solved both my problems! What a life saver! I tried to impress my wife with her new mirror polished clothes iron, but she refused to carry it in her purse as a vanity. The ingratitude!

I've only used this once to sharpen my mower blade youtube.com/post/UgkxPDBfLu68o58Aw85O_J-zIFfjJARBh… but so far very happy with it. I've never used one of these so took me a bit to figure out how to set it up but once I figured it out it did the job just fine. This is likely a single purpose tool for me to use on my mower blade and possibly the occasional axe sharpening so didn't see any need to spend a lot....this will do just fine!

I always wondered what the early days at 3M were like. Thanks for the history lesson.

Ну блин, я думал листы железа будут пилить картоном 😆

Хорошая идея, надо только завещание написать😂

Fine grade wire wool for the iron works a treat and a lot less hassle. I've used autosol and wire wool for years for many metal polishing jobs, doesn't take long either. Even used tin foil on to on some jobs. As for the knife, I wouldn't use this particular idea. An old leather belt with the same compound is great to strop with👍🏻. I can see theis wheel useful for de rusting large pieces though.

I've been a metal fabricator for almost 35 years and a trick I was shown years ago was basically the same thing only on a bench grinder using the grinder with the guard reversed for reverse rotation and buffing compound for sharpening knives. It works great.

I've been looking high and low for a way to polish the bottom of my 21 year old iron and stumbled upon this video. Oh happy day! What a time to be alive.
