Angle grinder hack homemade hedge trimmer attachment

After dropping the hedge cutter on the floor earlier this year I thought I would adapt the cutting blade to fit my angle grinder.
Its a bit like those chain saw angle grinder videos I have seen but I think this is the first hedge cutter version
For other great homemade tools and other things check out my other videos

Thanks , after 0:59 I couldn't watch the rest of the video & have made numerous trips to the eye Doctor. Cool I guess, but you probably could of found hedge trimmers at a yard sale for a couple of bucks

[@nickc3565]

Must be nice to have a workshop!

[@projectmayhemUK]

you should see it, it looks nothing like a workshop, more of a tool dump with a bench or 2, why do you think I work outside

[@scottvan1898]

Do all these work,,just replace a comfortable hand hold motor, to a oversized hand held motor ! ! ?

[@toomuchtruth]

This is just awesome! Really impressive craftsmanship. Question: Would this work at fullspeed with a non-variable speed grinder, or did you have to run this at a lower speed? It would be cool if these were a mass produced and cheap attachment for grinders, it would save a lot of money! I'd like for there to be more multi use tools, for most non industrial work multipurpose tools are sufficient I think.

[@projectmayhemUK]

I run this on a lower speed which runs at the same speed as the original grinder, It does run at full speed but I haven't used it at that speed because it feels like it will break I think you can buy a chainsaw adapter for an angle grinder, I don't know if they came out before or after make it extreme made his chainsaw angle grinder

[@toomuchtruth]

@@projectmayhemUK Hey, thanks for the info. Grinder speeds are so fast that it makes sense that at full speed it'll threaten snapping the attachment.

[@greasysteve5671]

The reason your welds won't stick to the main gear is because it's made out of powdered metal. Its basically metal dust that's heated and pressed together like MDF.

[@projectmayhemUK]

powdered metal..... you learn something every day, thank you

[@nukecoladrinker7744]

what is a sens in breaking 1 working thing to make other thing to that same work?? i don't get it XD

[@projectmayhemUK]

I didn't break the hedge cutter on purpose

[@patagualianmostly7437]

Me neither. Very clever, but beggars the question: "Why?" Yes Sean, I get it ,you didn't break the original machine on purpose. But you did originally buy it as a hedge trimmer. Good video though. Thumbs up for that.

Hello Mr. Sean Beardon, Sorry for the trouble, do you happen to have some sort of drawing or planning document that I can ask for? This is a really good build and I'd like to use this project as a reference for my college capstone group assignment. Our project is about tea plucking machine from a cordless angle grinder attached to a hedge trimmer blade like your build from this video. We're currently having doubts in our design and it'd be such help if you have one for a reference. Is it possible to further contact you for our inquiries? Thank you very much!

[@projectmayhemUK]

Hi sorry I don’t have drawings or plans I just made it as I went along

Kinda cool but if u count the hrs spent making that and materials, u could have just replaced the motor in the trimmer for a lot less time and money. You coulda proly bought a cordless trimmer for the time materials n effort spent. I liked it tho but the whole time i was shaking my head saying thats too much work lol

He did it for the fun I'm presuming. I've messed around with stuff not out of economy but because it was something interesting to do. I wouldn't call it a 'hack' either. Fair amount of skill involved and very few people have lathes. Still, fun watching it.

[@jetenginethrust863]

Good job repurposing that hedge trimmer. BTW, you might not want to drill into anything not held in a vise and the vise bolted down on the drill press. You don't want to learn the hard way. Shit happens, don't let it accidentally happen to you. I almost had a fingernail ripped off when the metal I was drilling into suddenly started spinning. Lesson learned, I'll never do that again. I see people do this all the time on KZbin and on TV and it makes me cringe every time.

[@MiguelPerez-li4of]

Homemade? you live in a workshop right? 😂😂😂

I thought it was a quick hack but seems like a major refurbishment. It might be better to either buy another one or a motor from eBay.
