Is there any easier way of cutting straight with an angle grinder? I seem to be cutting stange angles when i try and cut 90 degrees. I might just need more practice.

ps it is fitted with a cutting disk before anyone asks

start off really light or "draw" a line where you are going with the cutting wheel - just touching the surface, then follow that slightly deeper then you can usually press on ok.

But it pretty much is as you say, just practice!

If your cutting flat sheet, try clamping a length of angle or flat bar to it, as a guide for the wheel to run against.

you could buy one of those gismo's that you clamp the angry grinder into, you then have a handle to pull down on.

I usually work on the principle of cutting it roughly to size / shape with the cutting disc then using the grinding disc to get it all schminky pinky....

Ive got a gismo you could take for a tenner and p&p that turns it to a chop saw.

u2 u if you are interested
Be back on line later tonight

I used a hacksaw and vice, just as quick with no mess and accurate. You just need decent blades.

Same as this just not as clean
