    I've got this one! Bloody terrific value for money. I got sick of changing discs over (grinding to cutting) on the Makita I have, so thought I'd drop $35 on this one and just run two grinders. Should have done it years ago! So much better having two ready to go.

    3yr replacement warranty as well.

    When I first bought it I had to cut some expansion joints in concrete that I had laid. Bought a blade that cost about as much as the Ozito itself! I fully expected it die… tried real hard to kill it in the concrete dust, and it actually cut better than the old Makita!

    Well worth the the money I paid for it. At this price get one! Even if its just your second grinder. You won't regret it.

      Agree - I've abused the heck out of mine and it's still going strong after quite a few years

      I'm up to 4 - grinding disk, cutting disk, wire brush cup and flap wheel. It's rare that I need all 4 on a job, but when I do it makes it so much simpler to manage.

      Might make it 5 or maybe retire a couple of my older grinders as these one have the decent press trigger (rather than crappy slide switch) and a toolless guard.

      • UFO on 09/08/2019 - 19:42

        Love it!

        I keep one as a cutter and the other as a grinder, but I admit… even changing the grinding disc to a flap is a pain now as well :).
        Might get one more ;).

    Possibly missed it but where is the Aldi one?

    Nuts, paid full price about 6 weeks ago. Must find receipt as I still haven't used it!

  • Blue Cat on 08/08/2019 - 21:46

    Is it possible to use this one for polishing stuff?

    • payless69 on 08/08/2019 - 22:08

      in theory just but really just a spec of dust and you do more damage. Polishers are very cheap, check also specials in Auto stores.

    • rustoeki on 08/08/2019 - 22:11

      To fast for polishing.

    • BlinkyBill on 08/08/2019 - 22:27

      No but you can with the Aldi one. Variable speed control on that one.

      • [Deactivated] on 08/08/2019 - 22:50

        so the polishing mop attaches in such a way that the connecting section clear the surface then yes?
        Hmmm, might hold out for the Aldi one then… I thought one had to get a 'dedicated' polishing unit for polishing and a dedicated angle grinder for… more 'severe' work. Would be good to have the two in one!

        • BlinkyBill on 09/08/2019 - 08:47

          Need to careful with any angle grinder even with variable speed. The polishers have a random orbit so you much less likely to do any damage.

    What kind of blade would be suitable for cutting through a T post like this that is now being consumed by the tree it used to support?

    • payless69 on 08/08/2019 - 22:06

      A star picket, any metal cutting blade, the thinner the less work it is. In any case use eye protection!

      This one is suitable for the Ozito grinder and would cut the star picket

      Cutting discs that are 1mm or 1.2mm in thickness are great for cutting through thin gauge and even thick stuff with some patience.
      Just fyi be careful not to flex the blade when you are using them as they may break or shatter

  • Hoju on 08/08/2019 - 22:31

    Is there a wheel that you can attach to this to cut some concrete?

    • [Deactivated] on 08/08/2019 - 22:52

      See 1st comment by 'UFO'. :O]

      • UFO on 09/08/2019 - 19:52

        :)

        Type in "Diamond Grinding Wheel" into the Bunnings website search function.

        They aren't cheap, but will cut through concrete like its butter.

        Next question is why/what are you cutting?
        A 125mm wheel (diameter measurement) obviously means you won't get very deep (it's not half because you have to allow for the centre hole and arbour that holds it).

        Above would be fine for an expansion joint or a smaller cutting job where you looking to break away a section of concrete, but depending on depth of the concrete you are cutting (more than likely 100mm+) you won't be cutting any more than a third of the way through… if that.

        If it's a big job, might be worth your while to hire a concrete cutter (will be the same or cheaper than buying a grinder and a diamond disc).

    • Ulysses31 on 08/08/2019 - 22:56

      125mm masonry wheel.
      You get what you pay for. So ask yourself how much work there is.

      • spiff on 08/08/2019 - 23:57

        How deep into a slab could a 125mm blade cut?

        • Arnor on 09/08/2019 - 06:35
          +1

          30-40mm

        • Ulysses31 on 09/08/2019 - 11:54

          Depends on the arbor on the grinder. They vary a lot. Generally, cheaper tools have bigger ones. Saw with circular or drop saws etc. Disc size minus arbor, divided by 2.

          Pushing for maximum cut, you'll be dragging the grinder against the workface, and rocking-around at a shallow depth. Can't pick where best visibility & debris deflection will be. Won't be a beautiful line. In case it matters.

          The Q&A really is job specific.

          • spiff on 09/08/2019 - 12:25

            @Ulysses31: Looking to cut 30mm trench for ~2m into a slab for an electrical conduit. Is the arbor the height of each blade segment?

            • Arnor on 09/08/2019 - 16:11
              +1

              @spiff: Just cut to what depth you can ~30mm and then use a little jackhammer to take out what you need

              • UFO on 09/08/2019 - 19:52

                @Arnor: Yep, good advice. Shit of a job though. But once you get the bulk out with the jack hammer, you can level off the bottom quite easily with the diamond wheel. Just don't try and take out massive chunks at once because you'll be putting a lot of lateral pressure on the wheel. Bad if that sucker breaks! Nice and slowly. And you'll have a nice smooth trench.

            • Ulysses31 on 10/08/2019 - 18:50

              @spiff: Just an FYI:

              Some great advice above. But it's for a task that goes against codes & safety, due to how shallow the cabling will BE. But yes, we've all done stuff that wasn't 100% kosher.

              Another option is to hire the gear. Purpose made 'wall chaser' from places like Kennards

    • pformag on 09/08/2019 - 09:41

      diamond blade.

    • DannyBoy on 09/08/2019 - 15:51

      Buy a diamond blade, segmented type depending on the job (steel reinforcement etc)

      I don't think 'overcharging' is against any law that the ACCC enforces.

      So instead of being grateful for the competition Aldi provides, you choose to whinge.

          • alidli on 09/08/2019 - 12:33

            @spiff: Cos it's all made for bucks in China and Aldi are prepared to make less profit per item

            • spiff on 09/08/2019 - 12:47

              @alidli: Special buys vs regularly stocked item. Different strategy behind the pricing.

              • alidli on 09/08/2019 - 13:06
                -1

                @spiff: Good point, more costs in keeping Ozito in stock permanently, however Bunnings didn't sell "Ozito" until Aldi came here with their WorkZone and XFinity tools (correct me if that's wrong).

                And of course competition is great, it's good that you can go to Bunnings if the Aldi special has sold out or you don't want the hassle of the race to the middle aisles on Wed/ Sat mornings.

                • Thrift on 09/08/2019 - 14:04

                  @alidli: Ozito was established (and exclusive to Bunnings) since 1993. ALDI's first Australian store opened in 2001.
