wolfcraft 5018000 Cutting Stand for one-Hand Angle Grinders Ø 180 and 230 mm

9" grinders are a necessary evil. Not my favourite tool, scary things. Anything that holds one securely is a bonus. I know the Wolfcraft brand so I gave it a go.The assembly instructions are dire. Once you've got your head around that assembling the kit is simple enough. Attaching your grinder? A merry dance indeed. It's a one size fits all piece of kit so it's a compromise. But it went together with some thought and choice swear words. I spent a while setting it up square.First cut through 42 mm tube. Perfect. I can do tidy cuts in one pass. Most importantly, with a stable and secure tool from hell.The grinder will stay in the stand. I've not had need to use it on stone etc for years so no problem.

I had to machine up some new bolts and bushings to hold my Kango grinder securely, also modified the vice to make it almost usable. Ended up with a decent tool, but if i'd just used it out of the box as it comes it wouldn't be very satisfactory.

I have to give this 5 stars even though it was a bit of a pig to assembleDidn't use their shield as the one on by 9" grinder was more than adequateWhat I will say is don't over tighten the vice or the 10mm threaded handle might start to bend as it did on mineOnce the grinder is in the right position, maker sure you secure the lock nuts or it will move out of adjustmentThe jig its self is excellent

Sadly this item was a complete disappointment for me, having purchased it with high hopes.It didn’t fit my hitachi 230mm angle grinder at all, was difficult to put together, and was not sturdy enough for quality cuts if it had fitted.

Easy put together

Good strong product assembly was straight forward

Finding a 230mm grinder stand at an affordable price was difficult until I found this. Assembled in less than 10 minutes. Base is light but ridge and has corner holes to bolt down. Handles 60x60x6 angle with no issues. This has been a good buy.

I had been looking for a angle grinder gig for some time whilst looking on the amazon site I found the product I wanted.On getting the product I thought it was excellent , easy to assemble simple to attach the angle grinder all in all I am very delighted with the the product, I would recommend the product very highly many thanks for such a good service
