Angle Grinder Drop Cutter

Cut larger rods, bars and bolts more accurately with this tool. It should fit a variety of small angle grinders.

You will have to position the angle grinder hinged bracket and the job holder to suit your setup. I used a 250 x 250mm scrap board as the base.

All power tools can cause harm. Do not use if not already comfortable and familiar with angle grinders. All the usual safety measures apply.

Notes: 

PLA should be sufficient for the grinder base and cradle. However, the metal gets hot when cut, so ABS or PETG makes more sense for the job holder.

Inspiration

I liked Robrobrob's Drop saw converter for Angle Grinder because it was more robust than the others. However it didn't suit my much simpler needs, so I  borrowed the hinge design because it promised the least lateral movement.
