Angle grinder for cutting wood

Having knocked down a very old cedar garden shed, I want to cut up all the wood. I'm wondering if i buy one of the diamond discs available for it, whether that would be reasonably ok for cutting wood with? I cannot find any discs that are said to be specifially for wood for this type of angle grinder. Some of the shed cladding wood is very thin (with nails all over the place) so i think the usual circular saw for wood would be a bit too hefty and vigourous on this thin wood of the shed. Grateful for any suggestions on the best type of circular disc to go for. Thanks. Sounds scary and dangerous. I would not recommend it. But there is a carving disc for the mini grinder. http://www.woodcraft.com/Product/200...rking-Kit.aspx The capacity for this thing to grab things and throw them into your body is probably infinite. The only way I would use anything like this if the material was locked down into a big, secure vise. I would also wear gloves, face protection and heavy clothing. In some ways this is like cutting small limbs with a chain saw. The saw grabs anything that is not solidly secured and throws it. And a certain percentage of the time it hits you. And it hurts. The number one rule of cutting anything small like this is to secure the stock before cutting it. Any movement of the stock can be dangerous. The link you provided is for the 2 inch blade which fits an accessory for a 4 inch angle grinder. Here's the link to that manufacturer's 4 inch blade: http://www.arbortechusa.com/view/woo...al-woodcarver/ It's a lot of money to pay for a blade when a circular saw with carbide blade can be purchased for less money. 8-) [8~{} Uncle Search Monster |
