Friends, you are on the channel for self-taught garage workers in welding and locksmiths. A welding inverter and a grinder are a necessary minimum of tools that a man acquires if he intends to master working with metal.
Today I will give a list of useful tips for working with a grinder for a beginner so that he does not have any problems with this necessary, but rather dangerous tool.
There is no need to put pressure on the blade when cutting metal. The tool must cut under its own weight. At the same time, you always need to be careful when buying discs, they should be exactly for the material that you are going to cut.
The biggest reason it bites into a disc is when it is skewed during cutting. When you cut you need to be focused and attentive. Try to keep the tool in one position.
He also takes a bite if welded structures are cut, they will always have tension. It is better not to cut a little, but then just break this part.
If a grinder's disk, especially a large one, grips in the metal at speed, then it can break out of the hands. Therefore, it will be safer when she jerks away from you, and not towards you. And so that the Bulgarian does not jump towards you, saw with sparks at yourself. Although this is a very controversial topic in the circles of locksmiths and welders. I think it's safer this way.
Comfortable goggles, just comfortable, so that they do not bite into the face at the contact points. Do not even approach this tool if you are amenable person, you will lose your guard for a second and trouble may happen.
The piece of material to be sawn off should always be hanging. It must not be supported on something, otherwise after a complete cut of the part, the cutting disc may be clamped in this cut.
Do not install a disc of a larger maximum diameter by removing the protective cover. And in general, never take it off, no matter how it interferes in uncomfortable places. It is better to additionally think about what and how to do than a piece of the disc will tickle you.
Between the pressure washer and the disc, it is better to place a thick paper spacer. If, nevertheless, the disk is bitten, then this gasket will not allow the nut to additionally tighten at this moment until it is completely unscrewed with a key - this happens.
If you are cutting small parts, be sure to fix them well. Pressing a little with your foot will not work here. The part may jump at you while biting into the disc.
And most importantly, be extremely careful, do not rush. A grinder, especially a large one, requires effort to hold it while working. Do not bring to severe fatigue of the arms and back, you may simply not hold the instrument straight. It is better to work in a measured manner, with a break for rest.
