After using the YaeTek Angle Grinder Stand for a few weeks, I can confidently say it's a game-changer for precision cutting—but it’s not without its flaws.
Pros: The stand is solidly built with a thick iron base that keeps it stable during use. The adjustable clamp fits my 125mm grinder perfectly, and the 45-degree cutting angle is super handy for metalwork. The blade cover adds a nice safety touch, and the quick-adjust button saves time when switching between projects.
Cons: The instructions are practically useless—tiny diagrams and vague text had me guessing during assembly. The plastic bushings also failed quickly, so I replaced them with bronze ones. Also, the clamps can interfere with the grinder’s slide if not positioned just right.
Real-World Use: I paired this with a budget grinder and a foot switch for a makeshift chop saw. It’s fantastic for cutting rebar and small metal rods, but struggles with thicker materials. For DIYers or small shops, it’s a great space-saving tool—just be prepared to tweak it.
Verdict: 4/5 stars. With better instructions and sturdier components, this would be perfect.
