But it does show pretty good mastery of the angle grinder. (For Brian's benefit, it shows how to make a DIY "multitool" saw from an angle grinder. Just using an angle grinder, stick welder, vice, and a couple of spanners with a little help from a dremel) |

The videos are often titled How to make X, Y or Z for $2.5 (but needing many ten of thousands of dollars in tools to do so). -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

For Brian, the abuse of the callipers was in using them to scratch "cut here" marks on the work, after using them properly to measure the appropriate distance. He did this on several occasions. It's as bad as using a micrometer as a miniature G-clamp ;-) |

If you have a popular youtube channel, then the marketing departments of many high end tool vendors will normally be happy to "sponsor" you. :-) Having said that - lack of CNC means the project will take longer and require more work, not that you can't do it. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Very few tools but a lot of man-hours to make something that most of us in the more civilised world would consider to have a trivial cost. |

Having said that - the performance of his was quite impressive. Probably not surprising given the AG starts with 3 to 4 times the power, and he has a wider arc of rotation than the normal tools. (vibration may be less pleasant though) -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
