I needed a grinder with diamond saw to cut a path through ironstone (saw before SDS hammer with narrow chisel bit). A mate suggested this the AEG kit was on sale at Bunnings. After research, I bought one. It is doing its job well. Cutting stones, tiles, etc, you need hearing protection, eye protection and something to protect your lungs from silicone. Better than nothing - (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/717403) but you need a clip to pull it REALLY tight to your face.

    That's a bargain

  • Zondor on 11/08/2022 - 08:39

    Could this cut those concrete retaining blocks?

    • pennypincha on 11/08/2022 - 08:46

      With a diamond disc, yes. But you'll have to go slow and may chew through a disc or two depending on how many cuts you need to make. Shouldn't be a problem though

      With the right cutting disc, yes. Make sure you wear a good fitting mask. Cement dust is no joke.

    • donkeydoc on 11/08/2022 - 17:56

      Not right through, make vertical slits every 100mm then hire a jackhammer , use water with assistance if possible for dust control

    Same price here, plus free delivery if you spend another $0.01

      Yeah I got that one, chucked in a pair of safety glasses to make it up. :)

  • bym on 11/08/2022 - 09:08

    Good deal, I think I paid this for the tool without all the discs last year.

  • illogicalerror on 11/08/2022 - 09:24

    Great thanks, I've been looking for an angle grinder deal for a couple of weeks.

  • texx on 11/08/2022 - 09:42

    Would this be any good for cutting the top off a keg to make a fire pit?

    • joyfulpatrick on 11/08/2022 - 10:07

      I cut the top off a keg (to use for other purposes) using a basic Ozito angle grinder before so I think it should be good. Just release the pressure in the keg beforehand.

    • JimB on 11/08/2022 - 11:05

      An Ozito cordless angle grinder with thin cut off blade will do the job.

  • JimB on 11/08/2022 - 11:04

    Good price assuming the diamond blade is half decent

    • RogerLoger on 11/08/2022 - 11:37

      It cut through my 1m length of ironstone fast, plus about the same length of sandstone. It was working as well at the end of the job as the beginning. However, I haven't against a different brand.

  • Yekul on 11/08/2022 - 11:32

    Think it goes for this price relatively frequently, bought mine for the same maybe 5ish years ago. But inflation and all that…

    Good grinder, works fine. Just be aware, it’s a ‘rough’ tool. Loud, fast, lots of vibrations. Does the job, but if you need to use it for longer jobs you will get some fatigue from it.

    I bought it for a particularly crappy job I had to do that I knew the tool would cop heaps of abuse on. Did the job no worries, but really felt it in my arms compared to regular grinder (Makita). Better warranty than the Makita mind you, and included some discs (even if they are a bit crappo). For $100 I’d still rate it a good deal. But if you do have a little more chances are for a lot of home handyman jobs a smaller better quality grinder would do the job and be much more user friendly. Just something to think about is all.

    something to protect your lungs from silicone

    Silica, not silicone, I presume you mean? And the respirator you linked, I wouldn't trust in the slightest to provide meaningful protection. My daughter has started grinding / carving rocks, and we bought the full seal mask / respirator plus some goggles with an all round seal.

    It's maybe too early to tell, but silica could kinda be the next asbestos. I wouldn't take the risk with flimsy kit.

    • RogerLoger on 11/08/2022 - 11:59

      🤗No tubes of silicone get through the mask either.

      I have a clip that pulls the mask very tight but agree if you do much stone/tile work you need far better protection. However, for some folk, getting them to wear at least a mask is better than nothing at all.

      Do I recall an Aussie stone sculptor dying form silica in the lungs? Her sculpting was varied. Maybe it was from something else she did?

  • Moondog on 11/08/2022 - 11:56

    I have a small drain - maybe 1.5cm deep and 3cm wide - in the cement in front of my garage, but I need to deepen it very slightly (maybe 1cm). Would I be able to use this to do it?

    • hoxygt on 11/08/2022 - 13:04

      Yep

      • Moondog on 11/08/2022 - 19:54

        Cool - would I just use a masonry grinding disk?

          This video used a different tool to cut the channel but should give you the general idea how to do it using cutting disk then hammer and chisel.
          https://youtu.be/dR0HFyFFvrA?t=262
          Where the tool in the video comes with a special chisel, a cold chisel narrower than the slot will do the job. The guy in the video seems to have missed the point that the kit's chisel is designed to be hit into the slot, jambing the concrete out. If you use a cold chisel, chisel along the channel, as he wanted to do it and you won't risk chipping off the edges.

          This video uses a circular saw and demonstrates how to keep the dust level down.
          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ppF_1hNvH0
          Circular saws have depth control, which may work out better for your job.

          • Moondog on 12/08/2022 - 08:02

            @RogerLoger: Cheers Roger - appreciate that. Looks like a sensible approach, I only need to deepen it by a few mm to divert water away from the shed door.

  • Basitirshad on 11/08/2022 - 11:56

    Bought one last year from Bunnings on same price. Still going strong.

  • MarsTitan on 11/08/2022 - 12:32

    Any recommendation for good discs/ brands for metal, wood and stone cutting/ grinding work?

  • hoxygt on 11/08/2022 - 13:09

    For anyone in the Ryobi ecosystem consider their cordless skin for $115 - its a beast - https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-one-18v-115mm-cordless-ang…

    • Boodek on 11/08/2022 - 14:41

      Thank you, you've made my purchasing decision easy!

    • emctechnician on 11/08/2022 - 15:48

      I have the older ryobi cordless angle grinder (not a burshless unit which the one you linked isn't either) and I only use it for small jobs as it just doesn't have the grunt.
      Great for having a flap disk on permanently but for a grinding job over a minute or two I go for my corded unit.

  • Poperdobs on 11/08/2022 - 16:46

    Be aware that this grinder is bully and heavy compared to the 700w versions….

  • thatonethere on 11/08/2022 - 17:32

    I keep getting grinder disks "melted/stuck" onto the grinder. Apparently if you use the grinder disks "too long" they just stick on which is a pain.

  • long3333264 on 11/08/2022 - 17:47

    what is the original price

  • AlexG on 12/08/2022 - 09:20

    Ozito 1200w one is $49. What's the difference?

      Personal needs. Ozito may suit a light user but it falls well short of a tradies needs. Somewhere in between fitted my needs. Hence the AEG.
