    Safer Angle Grinder Sliding Cutting Tool

    Angle grinders hacks frequently suffer from a safety problem, the need to reach for the switch while turning the machine on, or trying to stop it when it is running. This can be dangerous! Sliding cutting tools are not an exception.

    To solve that, I came up with the idea of a completely new handle, in which the on/off switch is embedded. I replaced the original orange toggle switch with the green on/off pushbutton. Push to turn on - lift your finger and the grinder stops. The handle is made of wood and thus fully isolated. I based my machine on that of the very talented maker Gökmen ALTUNTAŞ, as seen on YouTube.

    Here you can see my machine. Enjoy!
