Angle Grinder

Cutting wood with an angle grinder requires caution and the right blade. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1, Choose the Right Blade:
Use a wood-cutting blade with fine teeth to avoid splintering.
Avoid metal-cutting discs, as they can cause splintering or kickback.
2, Prepare Your Workspace:
Secure the wood piece to prevent movement.
Wear safety goggles, gloves, and hearing protection.
3, Mark the Cut Line:
Use a pencil or chalk to mark where you want to cut.
4, Adjust the Guard:
Position the guard to protect your hands from debris.
5, Start Cutting:
Turn on the angle grinder and let it reach full speed.
Gently guide the blade along the marked line, applying steady pressure.
Avoid forcing the blade; let the tool do the work.
6, Finish the Cut:
Once the cut is complete, turn off the grinder and wait for the blade to stop spinning.
Note: Always prioritize safety and avoid cutting thick wood with an angle grinder—a circular saw or jigsaw is better suited for that. Protection is necessary during the whole process. Please make sure wearing safety glasses.

Cutting rebar with an angle grinder is straightforward with the right approach:
1, Select the Correct Disc:
Use a metal-cutting disc (abrasive or diamond-tipped) designed for steel.
2, Secure the Rebar:
Clamp the rebar firmly to prevent movement.
3, Mark the Cut:
Use a marker to indicate where you want to cut.
4, Adjust the Guard:
Position the guard to protect your hands from sparks and debris.
5, Begin Cutting:
Turn on the angle grinder and let it reach full speed.
Apply light pressure and let the disc do the cutting.
Rotate the rebar if needed to complete the cut.
6, Cool the Disc (Optional):
If cutting multiple pieces, periodically dip the disc in water to prevent overheating.
7, Finish Safely:
Turn off the grinder and wait for the disc to stop before removing the rebar. Please always remember to wear safety glasses and gloves when you use angle grinder.
