The first thing a real man does when he gets a new angle grinder is rip off the guard and toss it in the garbage.

Four inch grinders are for manlets and others that are four foot eleven and under.Real men use a corded or pneumatic grinder.

OP there's no need to take it off I can promise you of i have found ways to work with it for over 13 years no compromise to cut depth angle or usable disk and it has the benefit of keeping sparks in one direction

Nah… I sold my guard for $20 on eBay to someone in California. The law there is you need a minimum of 2 guards.

Go right ahead. I encourage this. PPE is also gay because it interferes with my vision and hearing.

I take the guard off so I can change discs more easily.
Aint no way am I gonna keep track of where that dumb wrench is.
The only time I miss it is when I break a disc (at rest) by accidentally bumping it with something or if it falls a short distance or whatever.

every single time someone says that the guard gets in the way, it turns out that they were just retarded and didn't know how to use a grinder, and nothing they were doing would be impacted by the guard in any way. there are some rare tasks where the guard can in fact be a bit cumbersome, like circular cuts, but the grinder isn't the most optimal tool for them anyway and eating sparks or risking the disk kicking back into your nuts for no reason 99% of the time, just because it can get in the way in that one job, is extremely retarded

Guardfags keep bringing up the masculinity angle as if the statement in the OP isn't a joke.
Here's the truth:
The reasons people take the guard off rarely include "i want to prove how masculine i am"'.
On the other hand, it is very gay and not masculine if you don't understand (and don't want to understand) how to use the tool safely when there's no guard.

Many of these safety "features" exist to protect manufacturers from lawsuits, and not to protect you from harm.

Anon09/24/25, 19:11No.2946765
if you're doing something with a grinder where the guard is inconvenient, you are doing something the grinder disc was not designed for and you might need that guard all of a sudden. if you guys wanna catch exploding high rpm fragments though be my guest, less 4chan using internet retards around the better.

Anon09/24/25, 22:11No.2946803
always keep two grinders in hand
>precision/daily grinder
guard on, cant get precision without thumb control on the shield
>death wheel
that one old grinder the wheel was lost ages ago, its small, it has no safety measures whatever, its only used for cutting Thoose things or That bolt.
if you are serous you need a third one
>God wheel
she be kicking, its the buttold large disk behemoth with a recoil that shifts the earths orbit. you dont turn around with this in your hand spinning, the earth turns around you, satelittes fall out of orbit and russian drones end up in poland when you do.
but dont diss the guard cover.

I use it as a pivot point to carefully plunge into parts, the real manly test is the trigger safety shit new grinders come with, if you haven't found a way to bypass it so it stays ON you're a faggot.

Seen so many retards on the farm injured by grinders, because they've never been trained how to use them.
>wrong disk
>no guard
>incorrectly fastened
>stupid cutting angle
But I've seen just as many injuries where someone who knew what they were doing just lost focus or slipped.

the second thing he does is put an appropiately sized (extends past the end of the handle) saw blade on it. inb4 gay jews say that this is dangerous or will burn out the motor

Need advice from someone Angle Grinder Certified.
I've got a cinderblock wall I need to cut a dog and sheep door in. Is an angle grinder with diamond wheels an appropriate choice?
The door will be 5'x3'. My plan is to score or cut the blocks, then sledgehammer them out. After that, trim it up with the grinder and frame out the door.

Actually no, fucking handle goes into trash. It is useless on 4 1/2 or 125mm grinders.
Guard can be useful as a guide for cutting shit straight.
