DIY | Angle Grinder Cutting Jig | Straight Cut Sheet Metal

The easiest way to straight cut metal sheet. In this video You'll see how to build a straight cutting angle grinder jig. I have been trying to do it in the simplest and easiest way, using minimum of elements. To make this usefull product You'll need: 3 screws, 2 nuts and about 25x15cm metal plate. If You'll have any questions - You know what to do. Have fun!

I had a lot of old pipes and rebar to cut up and from what I read kzbin.infoUgkxPDBfLu68o58Aw85O_J-zIFfjJARBhp-3 this would be the tool for the job. Since I had never used one, I watched a couple of youtube videos and I'm so glad I did. Some really good safety tips, which I followed, and this tool did a splendid job. One good thing to know is the weight of the tool puts just about the right amount of pressure on the metal I was cutting, so I didn't have to use a lot of pressure, which is more likely to jam the tool. It made fast work of my job.

Thanks for the simple and practical idea to cut along a straight line with an angle grinder. You have used a threaded rod and two nuts to raise and lower the grinder. Though it works, when you raise and lower the grinder, it moves left and right of the straight line. Even though this movement is very small, you can use a plain rod and two low-cost ball bearings and improve the accuracy. Looking forward to watching the video of the improved version.

Wow! Thanks for showing how to make this.

[@6980869]

Definitely looks easy enough to make, and without much time consumed. Thanks for sharing! Aloha

[@DIYInMyGarage]

Thx. Aloha!

[@22_floW]

Awesome idea! I might try this at some point. Cutting metal with my old grandpa's hacksaw isn't as fun as it used to be. ;.)

[@mikelong9638]

Very nice. Simple to make. Thanks

[@ronrahmat3726]

i'm so impressed with this idea and i'm going to make one.

Much needed idea for my DIY projects

[@fernandoreti4905]

what a beautiful, simple and very efficient project. Congratulations my friend!

[@DIYInMyGarage]

Thx

[@superspecialty5169]

This you made is so far my favorite, but I don’t need to observe all the mundane tasks of cutting, welding (the full length), grinding and especially painting! Appreciate the fast play back speed because I can 2.0 that to get to the final build and use of it. Thanks for the brainstorming idea.

[@oppositeworlds1460]

That is what I call simple and yet very efficient. It is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing...

Good idea.. nice n unique jig

[@danielmiller2886]

Good idea! I would add a thin sheet of plastic to the bottom to reduce friction and make it glide across the work piece easier.

[@DIYInMyGarage]

Yes, its good idea. You may use a wax for it as well.

Moving it up and down drives the grinder left and right because pivot is threaded. Did I miss you shaving threads off ?

[@plantaecozinha2095]

a simple and genious idea.

[@MrElanrivera]

Put some tinny roller at the backside of the plate for smooth gliding. You can use roller from salvage printer. My idea came out as i see you pushing with lot of friction.

[@nigeld8694]

Great invention. Shame I don’t have a welder though ☹️

Looks amzing

[@rajneeshrana1358]

0:53 brother you have to be extra careful while using grinder as it can cut skin in fraction of second, your hand was below it while it was running at 11000 rpm, no no room for carelessness, sorry to say this but you are a little careless with this machine, i know that you know better than me about its operation, but if you will be careless than you will be the one who will get injured, please be safe and never raise the machine more than 10 cm from your work station while it is switched on, lots of love and blessings from india.

How about doing one for 45 miter cuts! Great video btw. Genius!

[@filmasart]

Gizzly Industries sells a jib that does this

[@cuongibst]

Im wondering if you can keep the cutting disc parallel to the guiding edge (the outer edge) of the jig? As I can see, there is no such thing to stop the grinder from pivoting around two connecting bolts.

[@thelastgs-pian9965]

true, theres only a single bolt to stop that motion, i tried making one but the disc is not exactly parallel to the outer edge.

[@creepycrawler43]

Awesome idea man definitely gonna have to make one

Can you make a cutting jig for an angle grinder which can cut at 45 degree angle?

[@jakeqwaninne8502]

i've seen a bunch of these , and by far this looks like it will work the best, when they try to make them too complex, is where it leaves room for error, very simple design, straight ,square , plunge saw, 1 and done,, send this to bosch, tell them this is how they should have made their CS10 saw

[@jeanpaulemilien4784]

Superrrrrrr and thanks.

[@krisvind1715]

The real way to cut straight is practice, carefully score the line you wanna cut making a sligth channel, next cut all the way through and follow the channel without rotating the angle grinder, if the channel is hard to follow then try and cut in a bit deeper

[@glintkindly]

simplej, thanks for you

[@kamiltukaev8833]

SUPER!!!

[@ghilfman]

Love the ingenuity. The hilarious, ironic part of this project is the freehand cut of the base plate. As this has to be dead on square and the dude can easily cut it freehand, logic would dictate he'd never need the guide he built. If you don't possess that level of skill (like me), perhaps have a machine shop cut a perfect rectangle to start with.

[@guerreguerreroguerrero]

good video, friend of how much is the thickness of the sheet?

4 mm. Thank You.

DUDE!!!, WTF???, judging from your first cut , why do you even need a shoe, that was awesome, i work with a guy who can make cuts like that, it's like the grinder is just attached to the end of his arm, i'm jealous, i think the trick is ; know where you want the cut , and just commit to it

Recently bought an angle grinder. I'd like to build something very similar to this but I don't have a welder. Has anyone built one without using a welder and if so, how?. TIA

[@anthonyhiscox]

You could try brazing it, just need a decent propane torch and some rod compatible with the metal you're using. It should hold well since it's not a lot of force.

[@ranganathan535]

Hi, Great idea in bringing out this video, I find two suggestions 1. A support should be there in the front to hold the fixture or 2. The length of the bottom guide, support what ever you call should be increased at least double the existing length. Reason: other wise the pressure while in action may topple or run out of control from your hand Moral: Great but little change is apriciated
