Can this be used as an angle grinder with a regular 4.5 inch Grinding Wheel?

Hello there! The RotoZip RFS1000-20 can be used with any 4" Angle Grinder wheel.

You have to by 5/8 arbor grinder wheels. 7/8 grinder wheels are for grinders with 7/8 arbors

The collar dimension is refering to the diameter of the hole on top where it would attach to your angle grinder

I don't think that's possible on this tool. The right angle has a flange nut for disc blades.

It could work. The angle iron would have to be the right thickness and have holes of the right size and position. If you drilled those yourself it could be made to work. The bars that come with it are not flat but curve inwards, so the angle iron would have to go on the outside. That would make it more likely to snag on something when you roll it in tight places. In the worst case scenario, buy two of them and use the extra bars to extend the base. Good Luck, Greg

That's a 4.5 angle grinderThe question is: do you need that exceptional grinder for a once a year user.I don't call that an investment. I use that tool everyday in the last 6 year.

I have a DeWalt angle grinder and this tool. A grinder is not that nearly as versatile as the this tool. However, this tool cannot replace a grinder when it comes to cleaning, prepping and shaping metal wrt welding projects. This tool can do a ton of things a grinder cannot though. I cannot help with the thinset question never having done that job.

Yes, I suppose you could if you had the correct size bushings and an extender shaft to allow the selected buffing wheel to clear the grinder body... I'm not sure why you would use it this way instead of mounting the system on your lathe though... I use the system with all three wheels mounted on the included shaft quite often and it only takes a few moments to mount/unmount it from the lathe. Good luck and safe turning to you!

It's not that hard, but I would not use this to do it. It's a bit too small and the stones would wear out fairly quickly. I would use a grinder - either a bench grinder or else an angle grinder (you would want to put the blade in a vise for ease of access). An inexpensive one is located at http://www.harborfreight.com/heavy-duty-4-1-2-half-inch-angle-grinder-91223.html and the price is only $22. You can use it for a lot of other things too. This Dremel tool is great for chain saws and pruners, etc. but for a bigger blade such as a lawn mower a bigger grinding surface is a better idea. The wheels are inexpensive and you can get a more even job.

Yes. When the 4 inch was too small for my project I purchased a 7 inch grinder, grinding wheel, and shroud through amazon. The 7 equipment is a significantly larger investment than the 4 1/2. 7 inch equipment: Grinder - DWE4557, floor grinding wheel - DW4775, and shroud DWE46170.

DITTO....I would not.....the RPM s (revolutions per minute), are different... the wheel would heat up...the grinder is way too fast

I did not go to the website but 5/8 is the standard for these 4 1/2" grinders. All the wire wheels and grinding blades are either threaded for the 5/8 arbor or have a smooth center hole. The 7/8 arbor could be for the much larger, more powerful side grinders usually associated with industrial work.

Without knowing what the max dimensions of the angle grinder, hard for me to answer..

Just get a four jaw Chuck and use high quality turning tools and get a diamond grinding wheel and you're set. This large is by definition a mini lathe, so it's intended for smaller jobs but you can turn a bowl on it!

I also would like to use a 4-jawed chuck so please post back what you have learned. I don't know what will fit my unit as I've only done some small, spindle projects. All the Best.

Hey Savage, most of the threads on most tools are universal, like mini grinders are all 5/8". I believe thatit will fit, but if it does not Amazon is good about giving returns, although you will probably have to pay the returnpostage

Short answer is yes, any grinding/cutting wheel that's 5/8 will fit this tool. Once you exceed 4 1/2" in diameter on the wheel the safety shield will not fit though.
