Mounting your angle grinder

Is this what you are looking for:

Cut-off saw conversion kit.

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.
