Angle Grinder | 1 | arrived | see below |
The pitch angle of the screw to be made is equal to the angle the grinding wheel needs to be rotated
The original design uses this 4-1/2" battery-powered angle grinder: https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Power-Tools/Metalworking/Grinders/2680-20
The metric equivalent is a 115mm angle grinder
We decided to use this one: Bosch GWS 18 V-LI
The paper recommends "Type 27 Ceramic 4-1/2", 1/4" thickness" grinding wheels:
