Carving, odd spots. I mean, I'd never use one because I prefer having my fingers attached, but I could see some use cases. Also angle grinder is probably the second most universal tool, just about everyone has one, recip saw and mini chainsaw maybe not.

Really? I feel like among people I know, angle grinders are pretty rare except among people who do a lot of metalworking or use them occupationally. Oscillating tools are probably the second most (I assume we're both saying drills are #1), then recips

>>2977662
It depends on whether you associate with woodfags or not. But that aside, I meant more in a jobsite sense, angle grinder appears sooner than a drill even, if there is demo work. Maybe burgers use sawzall more since there's more wood construction.

>>2977594
I saw way too many people getting fucked by angle grinders and tile saws trying to cut shit is not designed too. Especially wood.

Why haven't the ching chongs made giant carbide burrs to screw onto my angle grinder yet? I'd gladly pay up to a couple hundred bucks for a cone stone sized carbide burr 2.5-3" diameter with a 5/8-11 thread in the back of it.

When you feel like you have too many fingers.

>>2977599
I'd rather use a Kutzall disc for power carving.

>>2977854
youd need forearms like popeye to run that bitch and the swarf would be a weapon of mass destruction itself (t. had burr swarf dug out of my eyes twice)
and with carbide higher than giraffe pussy right now that solid blank alone would probably be $300 plus the grinding. a custom carbide shop could do it if they could get a big enough starting piece. but again for comparison a garden variety 1-1/2 solid endmill is +/-$500 these days
what could it do that a donkey dick or the airarc couldnt?

>>2977857
Oh yeah the angry needles would be nuts. I've had them dug out of my eyes a few times as well. I'd think they could keep the teeth about the same size as a normal carbide burr so it wouldn't grab too damn hard. I just think it'd be nice to have a large radius one for cleaning out circular holes or pockets, or blending large radius welds. They could even make a carbide shell of sorts and braze it to a tool steel inner cone so it wouldn't have to be 100% solid carbide... Come on china man! Read my post and make it!

Oh and I'd also like a carbide insert tool and little table to make a beveling machine out of a standard 4.5" grinder rather than pay obscene prices for a larger dedicated beveling machine. I actually bought some insert chamfering tooling for a mill and am planning on building my own sometime when I get the time, but chang could do it and get ahead of the market curve and make millions.

I use the little air beveler quite a bit for small parts and it's nice. A bigger one on a 4.5" grinder would be tits though.

1) what's a donkey dick in this context?
2) respectfully, why are you not wearing goggles while doing this?

>>2978018
I mean, I wear a full shield when grinding/cutting metal, not even wearing safety glasses is "safety squints" tier dumb.

>>2977594
Why not jsut put a circular saw blade on an anglegrinder? They are liek 5-10 bucks depending on the size.

>>2978046
Because it's dumb as fuck, use a circ saw.

>>2978046
RPMs are usually too high, more teeth = more kickback if I understand correctly, it's hard to find blades in any size but 7-1/4 and kind of 6-1/2 although I guess not as hard as finding some weird angle grinder blade

>Implying I don't wear safety glasses constantly.
Shit still finds a way into my eyes sometimes. My eyes are extremely dry and things immediately stick to my eyeball.

>>2978112
Plus because of the way wood is composed, you really need a "table" to squeeze the material onto with the teeth. Which a circular saw's plate does.

>>2977602
Flap discs for carving wood.

>>2977662
$10 gets you into the grinder game. They're surprisingly versatile when you're working on a variety of materials.

OP's example is on the ridiculous end, but they're not as exciting as they look. The 3T blades carve better than they cut. I'd still rather have them on a cutoff tool than a standard grinder, just for the added hand clearance. 90% of the time grinders are going to have cutoff wheels or flap discs, masonry wheel etc.
