A cutting machine using a grinder is an indispensable thing in a home workshop or garage. Moreover, it is easy to make it yourself from improvised materials. For example, you can make a simple cutting machine from angle grinders with elements from a bicycle.
First of all, we disassemble the old bicycle, and "divide" its individual parts into component parts. To make a home-made cutting machine for the home workshop, you will need a small piece of the steering column with bearings, as well as part of the steering wheel itself.
The base of the cutting machine can be made from a piece of plate about 3-4 mm thick. To do this, mark out a sheet of metal and use a plasma cutter or grinder to cut out the workpiece. Then you will need to weld a vertical stand.
The main stages of the manufacture of the machine
We cut two pieces of the profile pipe of square or rectangular cross-section (size - at the discretion), and then weld them along the edges of the base. If the surface of the metal is rusty, then it will be necessary to brush with a metal brush (cord brush) or a flap wheel.
At the next stage, we insert into the vertical rack, welded to the base, part of the fork from the bicycle. On the other side of the rack we fix part of the steering wheel. We also weld a plate to the fork on which the grinder will be mounted.
Then it remains only to weld to the base thrust strips made of a corner, and paint all the details of the structure. For details on how to make a cutting machine from angle grinders with elements from a bicycle, see this video.
