Grinder attachment for grinder (angle grinder) for cleaning metal and grinding wood

When I was building a fence, it was necessary to clean the pipes from rust. I did it with a grinder with a wire disc, a cord brush:

You need to work with an angle grinder with a speed regulator, at medium speed. On elevated rust particles, debris from the brush fly like bullets. And you need to work not only with goggles, but also with a mask and tight clothing.

A portable grinder will be more suitable for these works. Or, in another way, they are also called band files, belt-grinding attachment, etc. A stand-alone instrument of this type has a high cost for an ordinary buyer with an average check of $ 15,000. rub. But how a nozzle for a standard angle grinder is already interesting.

I already showed the grinder attachment in the article: Inexpensive attachments for grinders and screwdrivers that increase their functionality

Inexpensive, Russian-made, looks like this:

Two modifications, with a tape width of 25 mm and 36 mm and prices of 1100 rubles. and 1200 rubles. respectively.

Anyone who is friends with the tool, has a place for assembly, can assemble a grinder from scrap metal, having purchased only bearings and a roller.

A couple of examples of homemade products:

Even if you buy used metal at the scrap collection point, plus bolts, nuts, washers, a roller, and bearings, the costs will not exceed 500 rubles. You need a welding machine, of course.

For those who do not want to engage in manufacturing, there is always the option of purchasing a tool. At the beginning of the article, the model is shown. But I would pay attention to a grinder with a not much higher price, but with more functionality:

Characteristics: a nozzle in two modifications: on the thread of the angle grinder M10 and M14. Those. for angle grinders with 115 mm and 125 mm discs. Length 225 mm, width 63 mm. The weight of the attachment is approximately 0.5 kg. Sanding belt size: 15x452 mm. The kit includes three tires: flat, corner and offset. This will allow you to process workpieces of different shapes: rectangular or round. Also included are five sanding belts (grain 60, 120, 240, 400, 600). There is a branch pipe for connecting a construction vacuum cleaner. The position of the tire is adjustable so that the belt does not slide off during operation. Several live photos from buyers:

Aliexpress also has this model, prices are comparable. If someone prefers aliexpress, then here link. Moreover, discounts began there on 23 November.

According to reviews, a very handy tool. The fact that the tape is not so wide may be a plus. You can climb into hard-to-reach places. Of course, the nozzle is not for large-scale processing of anything. The plastic in the case is not a concern. Because the pressure during operation on the nozzle is small - nothing will break.

Consumables, ribbons are also inexpensive. If you do not find the required width of 15 mm in stores, then you can cut from a wider one, but with a length of 452 mm. Or purchase ribbons of the desired grain size here:

10 pieces. included. Choice of grain: 60, 120, 240, 400, 600

But if your canvas is clogged with resin with wood dust - do not rush to put a new one. It can be easily cleaned with hardened silicone. Sometimes it stays in the tubes. Don't throw it away.

Touch the working blade with this "pencil-cylinder" and the web of the tape will be cleared of stuck wood dust. No silicone - you can use a piece of thick rubber.
