Wood Cutting Blade For 4 1/2" Hand Held Grinder?

ryan.s

I know I've seen some guys with carbide tipped wood cutting blades on their makita 4 1/2 inch grinders. I've been looking for one online but couldn't find any carbide tipped wood cutting blades that would fit the grinder. The arbor size of 5/8 does not exist in my search. Can anyone tell me what blade will work. I checked my grinder and the arbor can take anything with a 16mm(5/8) cutout or a 22.23mm cutout. Thanks!

Hate to say it,but I believe I have seen blades at Harbor Frieght. To me they look like a accident waiting to happen, but since I haven't ever used one or known of anybody they might work great for all I know.

I'd have to agree with the Oldgoat on this one, accident waiting to happen. What would you be using it for?

I put a 7 1/4" masonry blade on a 4.5 " grinder and it is the most versatile tool I have. I use it for everything. I have to say though that I would be real nervous with a wood cutting blade on there. I occasionly nick myself with the masonry blade which is no big deal just a little abrasion. Now it would be a different story with a wood blade....blood and gore.

The same blade works on my skillsaw and dewalt grinder. Although the arbor is not a perfect fit you can center it and clamp it down with no problem...at least the blade I use.

saw a jamb saw at the pawn shop last week and all this particular model was was a 4.5 grinder with a slightly extended arbor and a close fitting guard/glide that allowed for nearly flush cutting. it had a wood blade on it but i didn't note what size arbor it had.

may try your search for a jamb saw blade???

a metal cut-off blade works ok but sure is smokey.....

haven't tried my diamond blade yet....

I buy the blades at the local independent hardware store. The rig is invaluable in certain situations.

BIG WARNING!!!! As stated before, the potential for great bodily harm is tremendous. This is a tool of last resort and as such can rarely be used with the guard in place. Hang on tight and use 100% concentration.

Have one and it works great for cutting jambs. I bought mine at Ace Hardware. I strongly agree with teetorbuilt, one false move and its a trip to the hospital.

I was just working the other day with a guy missing 3 fingers. Yep you guessed it....from this friendly little saw. He was not a whino either he was a very competent boilermaker/carpenter.
