    I have used it on all kinds of stuff the trick is never thin it down it needs to be full strength... It hasn’t let me down yet. I’ve done all kinds of jobs with it and been very happy with the results.

    I've had good results with this primer too.. The best topcoat paint I have used isn't made anymore.. I still have some from over 20 years ago.. Dupont Lucite gloss black exterior paint held up amazingly well and worked well with this primer.. I repainted my oil tank with this recently and the paint was still good! Wish I had more of this paint..

    My friend never showed up with his plasma cutter last night so I went and bought a diamond cutoff blade for the grinder. I love the one on my chop saw so why not. This thing is amazing!

    You NEED a guard with it but so far so good.

    Does your angle grinder use depressed type discs like my Ryobi does? If so how do you mount a flat blade\disc?

    you need to use a different nut for flat discs, I am surprised you did not get one with the grinder, most can use both type

    I will take a look and see if i am missing something.. I had to make a shim washer to use the .045" cut off discs... That worked great!

    This. I’ve got a two way but for both flat and raised with mine. Flip it for raised and use the flat side for flat

    According to the manual the bottom disc has flats and must always be used in one position.. I still have the manual and the plastic storage case that came with it.. The depressed center discs are readily available so this is what I've been buying including the Black Hawk cutoff discs but they wouldn't clamp due to the .045" thickness so I bored out a flat washer and ground the OD to match the adapter OD and that works great.. The manual mentions nothing about using flat discs..

    That’s the reversible but on mine. I’ll use flat discs all the time. image.jpg

    I just checked and the bottom spacer will not work if reversed just as the manual shows.. I've had this a long time and maybe they changed the design? Not really a problem anyways but thought I'd look and see if I missed something..

    You are going to need a winch to get the ramps upright! Looking good though.
