Very good item

I really like this product. It worked well with the inexpensive angle grinder I bought from harbor freight, and turned it into a little chop saw. It's really hard to hold the grinder steady when handheld, this stabilizes the grinder and allows me to make accurate cuts. It gives you much better control over position, angle, and depth of cut.It would benefit by better assembly instructions. I had to look at the pictures on the package end here on amazon to see how the parts fit together.

Better off cutting it by hand

It will work, but cuts aren’t perfect, which is what you want it for. It’s also pretty finicky to get set up. Flex’s too much when pressure is put on it.If you do one type of cut only, it might be okay once set up to stay that way. If your plan is to use it for various cut angles, sizes, etc. not ideal. Plus mounting and unmounting the grinder isn’t really ideal.

Love this thing. Went together easy, once I sorted things out because the assembly instructions could use some help - mostly in enlarging. Other than that, everything works great.

If the option for more than 5 stars was possible, this is one of the few items that deserves it.Following the included instructions, it went together very quickly and easily. I have a 4" Makita I run 4 1/2" wheels on that mounted to it without any issues. Looking at the listing, I didn't notice that it was a radial arm, so that was a pleasant surprise that has been quite helpful many times over. The base has mounting holes to secure it to your bench; I recommend doing so, cuz while this chassis is strong and durable (as long as I've had it, and it looks as if I put it together yesterday), it's very light even with my grinder attached. If your grinder has any power, you'll be cutting something and have it bite and the whole thing try to jump off the bench at you the same as if you were holding the grinder without this chassis. Bolting it down does limit your mobility of what your cutting, but better that than taking an angle grinder to the arm or leg. I even leave it attached to this chassis when I'm using my wood shaping wheels; I'll swing the guard out of the way (make sure you're wearing proper ppe, so you don't lose an eye or a digit), and it works like an open faced vertical grinding wheel. Made very quick work of red oak I shaped and used for arm rests on a chair I refurbished. It was much easier to have control of the wood while shaping it rather than securing it to the bench and maneuvering the angle grinder, like I've done previously.If you own an angle grinder and use it for any form of cutting material less than 4 inches in width, you won't regret owning this. 3 and 4 inch square tubing is feasible to cut with this, but you'll have to reset and cut one side at a time. With the radial arm, I've cut up through 6 inch wide flat stock and up through 2 inch square tube using only the clamp built into this chassis, and I only had to support the opposite end when it was longer than 2 feet past the base of the chassis.

This is perfect for what I needed for keeping cuts clean and true using an angle grinder. Also, much smaller, cheaper and convient than an abrasive cut-off saw - perfect for small projects. I put it together and used began using it immediately. It took a little tweaking to get grinder blade plumb but that was a simple matter of adjusting some of the screws. The clamps held the grinder tight with no need to adjust after many cuts.I used it on 1"x1" angle iron and it fit without a problem. You would have difficulty accommodating something much larger. It seems pretty sturdy but time will tell. It comes basically assembled but there are some important parts you have to attach. The instructions are pretty poor - that's why 4 stars not 5. However, taking your time you can figure it out and there are some pretty good videos out on the web showing how to put it together. One thing I would add are memory locks for the bolts that hold the grinder, so you can keep the settings when you remove the grinder. Other than that, a great little tool.

Alles in allem kann man das Teil wirklich empfehlen.Auch wenn es ärgerlich ist, dass sich China hier wieder über eine Regel in Europa hinwegsetzt... denn eigentlich dürfen keine Aufnahmen für Handgeführte Werkzeuge mehr in Betrieb genommen werden... zumindest findet man das so im Netz und die großen Hersteller haben diese Aufnahmen alle aus dem Programm genommen.In diesem Fall bin ich aber froh, dass ich das Teil noch bekommen habe.1. AufbauDer Aufbau war kompliziert, die Anleitung hilft quasi gar nicht. Dafür ziehe ich auch einen Stern von der Gesamtbewertung ab da es wirklich eher Trial And Error war. Wer hier keinen Durchblick und eigene Kreativität mitering ist schnell überfordert. Allerdings würde ich auch vielerlei Gründen das Ding sowieso nur jemandem Empfehlen der handwerklich begabt ist!2. Stabilität/QualitätGrundsätzlich muss man sagen, dass man die 50 Euro schon spürt... man muss einige Zeit investieren bis alles gerade ausgerichtet ist. Wenn man alles einfach zusammen schraubt wird der Schnitt in jedem Fall krumm. Hier muss man sauber ausrichten und dann festschrauben. Bitte aufpassen... die Schrauben sind aus einer billigen Legierung, die Muttern drehen sich viel schneller ab als man das normal gewohnt ist. Ich musste 1-2 Stück gegen hochwertige Schrauben bzw. Muttern tauschen.3. VerwendungDie Aufnahme für das Werkstück ist ok. Wenn man manuell alles sauber ausgerichtet hat wird der Schnitt gerade und die Widerholgenauigkeit ist in Ordnung. Immer dran denken dass man eine Werkzeugaufnahme für 50 Euro nutzt... mit beiden Händen halten und die Halterung nur als Handführung verwenden, dann klappt das sehr gut. Mit dem Sägeblatt upgrade von meinem Bild erhält man saubere gerade Schnitte.4. Preis/LeistungFür mich super. Wie bekomme ich meine Aluprofile gerade geschnitten ohne teure Kappsäge? Mit dem Tool klappt es auf jeden Fall zuverlässig und mit dem Sägeblatt für 20 Euro waren es insgesamt 70 Euro für eine Mini-Kappsäge. War eine super Anschaffung und hilft mir wirklich gut meine Profile zu sägen.

Ok so I know I’m going to abuse this little guy and modify it for what I need. I decided to set it up and use it according to the directions before I start hacking it up and welding it into what I need. I make custom furniture and weld 3/4 box tube as framing for and needed something small to cut miter joints. I thought for something around the $100 mark I wouldn’t be mad about cutting it up and turning it into a fixture for cutting smaller pieces. Well I spent half that. A couple of bits and pieces get bolted on and then buzz a couple welds and it will be perfect as a production tool. Out of the box the paper directions suck and the supplied tools for adjustment look like they can out of a Cracker Jack box. That’s where the bad stuff ends. I set it up to make a test cut at 90 degrees and it was very close. Once I got it set up it took about two cuts to get everything dialed in at 45 degrees. I decided to hook up one of my high end disposable harbor freight grinders and the cheapest cutoff disk I could skimp on and that was when I was blown away. I made (8) 45 degree cuts and up till the last two cuts the guide held. It moved about 5-10 degrees out. Still completely workable cuts with a good prep grind and should have no problems seaming it with a .015 gap and .023 mig wire. I was pleasantly impressed and can’t wait to tear it down and make it a permanent 45 degree cut off. Definitely worth the money for doing small projects.

Die Qualität ist sehr gut, trotz asiatischem Hersteller. Der Winkelschleifer kann gut ausgerichtet werden, so dass man präzise damit arbeiten kann. Es wurden auch mehrere Schrauben verschiedener Größen mitgeliefert, so das eigentlich jeder Winkelschleifer, ob Markengerät oder vom Diskounter daran sicher befestigt werden kann.Negativ zu bewerten ist die Beschreibung / Anbauanleitung. Wer damit das Teil zusammen bekommt ist schon ein Künstler. Ich habe das Teil an Hand der farbigen Bilder auf der Verpackung zusammen gebaut und nicht mit der Anleitung obwohl ich mich nicht gerade als handwerklich unbegabt bezeichnen würde.
