When cutting sheet metal in a garage or home workshop it is very convenient to use a guide with a carriage for a small grinder.
This device can be made with your own hands from a profile pipe and various auxiliary parts - bolts, nuts, bearings, etc.
The first step is to cut the workpieces from the profile pipe. Then the author makes a marking on all the blanks and drills holes in them.
Next, you will need to prepare bolts, studs, nuts and bearings - all these parts will be used in the process of making a homemade carriage for the grinder.
The main stages of work
At the next stage, it is necessary to assemble the carriage from all prepared parts. It will also be necessary to cut a piece of pipe, cut it lengthwise and press the bearings along the edges.
As a guide for a home-made carriage, the author uses a square profile pipe 40x40 mm. The carriage itself can be adjusted so that there is no backlash.
After that, the author proceeds to the manufacture of mounts for the grinder. A piece of pipe with bearings must be welded to it, so that the grinder can be connected to the carriage.
After trying, if everything works fine, the welds on the mount for angle grinders will need to be cleaned with a flap circle, and then all the metal can be painted.
In detail about how to make a do-it-yourself carriage for a small grinder from a profile pipe, we recommend that you watch in the video on the website.
