Well, somebody posted a neat site called last-minute auctions. Of course I had to try it, and wound up with 8 new 4.5" angle grinders of the Chink persuasion, and almost no cost in them. Now what to do with them. Only thing I can think of offhand is a toolpost grinder. I'm sure this has been done, so any pointers or links welcome. I'll give a few away, that leaves 4 or 5 to do something with. Can anyone suggest interesting uses for them?

Don't give them away, Rex! Those only work for an hour or two, so use themone after the other. Wear eye & hearing protection, take off your watch, anduse anti-vibration gloves. I use them with knotted cup wheels to remove rust,with flap disks to do light grinding and to blend in welds, or with grindingwheels to do grinding.GWE

Use for small angle grinders?

I just saw tool drag racing on TV the other night. I dont' remember, I think it was on TLC.

One of the entrants had a meat saw powered dragster. The "Heifer Halfer". It had a 3HP 3ph motor. Supposedly one of the largest, "hand tools" ever made. This was in the rider catergory.

Several entrants in the non-rider catergories where circular saw based. Some angle grinders.

It was pretty funny and yet cool in a twisted sort of way.
