I'm looking for schemes for mounting the angle grinder so that I can
use it as both a metal saw and a grinder (changing wheels of course).

Is this what you are looking for:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I submit this for what it's worth. I was present at HF when a customer was
looking at one of these. Another person walked up and said he had one in
his shop, but wouldn't allow his employees to use it because it is built so
sloppy. Looking at the price, I can believe it.

Here's how Ernie does it:

He mostly uses his for finishing fishmouth cuts in tubing. I don't much like the
idea of using an angle grinder for a chop saw, but you can buy inexpensive jigs
to set them up that way.

Mike,
Cutoff saws can be gotten so cheaply, it proly isn't worth it--the time to
buy/convert/mount it, or even change blades!
For example, I got a 10" chop saw from Sears for $88. I think I saw some on
sale there recently for $66!! Proly HF has cheapies for $22.
Nice to have separate saws for separate jobs, circumstances permitting.

The only reason I can see mounting an angle grinder is if you need a certain
wheel geometry for specific grinding jobs, like the fishmouths someone
mentioned. But not for sawing. imho.
