Tips on using an angle grinder

[Old Mod]

Just wire it up backwards

I must admit, it’s an option I’ve considered.
Cos I can’t find one that does.

I used to know a guy that could get contra rotating9 inch ones . They were used by the fire brigade to make sparks go in the opposite direction because people who were already having a bad day and having to get cut out of their car apparently don't like getting showered in hot sparks as well .

Bloody Emigres, coming over here...

Just wire it up backwards

Might be an option with a DC motor..

Not that it’d be dangerous at all, especially with a damp sponge.

I use these to hold my tiles in place when cutting with a grinder... Very handy

strange .... I have nothing to say ....
by now I have achieved peace of mind with the black blade.
so I can use the grinder as I want,
forward, backward, diagonally, battery-powered, 240v.
direct cutting, a few times 2 steps.
I always tend to make a clean cut at the beginning and at the end,
thus avoid the rupture with tiles with too much tension.
surely without water, I love dust.

however they also sell grinders
that stop in case of kickback.
for example if the blade breaks.

And me, always a little clean cut at the start and at the end
