Cutting attachment for a drill from a grinder disc

A very useful attachment for a drill or screwdriver, made from a used grinder disc. With the help of such a device you can cut metal or process its surface. This cutting tool can be very useful for those who do not have an angle grinder (angle grinder) or are unable to use it in hard-to-reach places.

What will you need?


  • The rest of the grinder disc.
  • Bolt.
  • One washer the size of the inner diameter of the hole in the grinder disk.
  • Two washers with a diameter greater than the internal diameter of the hole in the grinder disk.

Making a cutting attachment


Unscrew the disk. As you can see, it should not be completely ground off. If you don’t have an angle grinder, ask your neighbor or the nearest workshop, they still throw out such discs.

Place a large washer on the bolt. It doesn't have to be rectangular. Since finding washers of large diameter is problematic, I made it from what I had on hand. The outer diameter of the washer must be larger than the disk mounting hole.

Then we put a disk on the bolt.To ensure that it stands strictly in the center, we install a washer with a diameter approximately equal to the diameter of the disk mounting hole.

We put a large washer on all this, the same as at the beginning.

And we saw metal. Here's an example of a steel pipe.

It cuts perfectly. There are no sparks at all, as when working with an angle grinder, since the speed of the drill is very low compared to an angle grinder.

Of course, in no case should you neglect safety precautions when working - at a minimum, you must wear safety glasses. Due to low speeds, the cutting tool has not become any less dangerous, and all protection requirements must be observed.
Using such a nozzle, you can clean the metal surface from paint or rust, cut a pipe in a hard-to-reach place, and much more. It's a useful thing, do it for yourself - you won't regret it.

    I bought such a nozzle, albeit with a normal fit of 22.2 mm, about 20 years ago. The tool was still quite expensive, and the grinder was not really needed. The speed of the drill is too low for abrasive discs, but if you have nothing else, it’s possible. But the 115mm saw blade for wood showed good results, but it’s better and safer, of course, to use a specialized tool

      I'm not a big expert on angle grinders. But whoever bought it for himself, carefully read the operating instructions for the angle grinder.
      There it was written in BLACK AND WHITE that it is STRICTLY PROHIBITED to install saw blades on wood. At first I didn’t understand why it wasn’t possible.
      But smart people said that if the disk jams, you will be looking for the fifth corner in the room from a flying angle grinder. You won’t be able to hold the angle grinder in your hands when it jams. The switch, according to the law of meanness, will definitely not turn off at this moment.

    Similar publications for cooks’ children are appearing more and more often. It seems that the authors do not bother with labor safety issues. Are there still villages and villages where grinders, in the sense of angle grinders, are not available for sale? The rules are written in blood: 1. Use the tool strictly for its intended purpose. 2. Study the instructions for use.

    The disc turns out to be DISPOSABLE. at low drill speeds it quickly breaks down.
    I put the new disc on the sandpaper with a decent rotation and then the edge pricked.

    The drill is not designed for such a load. With this use, the force vector acts perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the drill motor, and it is designed for the frontal action of the load (along the line of the axis of rotation of the motor). For a one-time job, it is cheaper to take a simple hand hacksaw for metal.

    and for grinding, such adapters are commercially available. on one side there is a screw like on a grinder, on the other there is a rod for fastening in the drill chuck.

    If this piece of garbage jams, the drill will be torn out of your hands, and it’s good if it just crashes onto the floor, otherwise it might go over some part of the body with pieces of the disk, those pieces of the disk that will fly in all directions after the break can spoil the portrait, an angle grinder won’t It was in vain that it was developed with an angular gearbox and a protective casing, I ran into similar things more than once, there are countless holes in the skin.

    An excellent tool for leveling screeds poured by builders. I photographed “hills” of 1-5 millimeters. I cut it with a cordless drill and 12V screwdriver. Slows almost like oil at low speeds. It generates little dust and is moderately noisy. I used a disc to cut porcelain tiles. It is quite safe for this work, the screwdriver has protection against jamming - “Ratchet”, the disc is hard. First I tried an angle grinder - this was it
