Four inch grinders are for manlets and others that are four foot eleven and under.

Real men use a corded or pneumatic grinder.

>>2945415
That's a small grinder though.

He must’ve got them bedside they matched his purse

OP there's no need to take it off I can promise you of i have found ways to work with it for over 13 years no compromise to cut depth angle or usable disk and it has the benefit of keeping sparks in one direction

so you admit its at a minimum an inconvenience and often a hindrance to practical use that requires extra steps to match the productivity of other users

Nah… I sold my guard for $20 on eBay to someone in California. The law there is you need a minimum of 2 guards.

While I do love a 7-9" grinder for heavy material removal, a 4-5" corded grinder is like a damn surgical tool with a cut-off wheel...

sometimes you need the precision of a 9incher to touch up what the bench grinder wont get

>>2945478
I am eufag who got this bs on some parkside grinder too. fortunately ot stopped working after 5 min and into the trash it went.

>>2945464
No but I was told by the older welders that it was necessary to take it off so I spent 13 years using my grinder the right way proving them wrong my way is best so end of story Listen, you little wiseacre: I'm smart, you're dumb; I'm big, you're little; I'm right, you're wrong, and there's nothing you can do about it!

>>2945512
There are few times (5%) you really have to take it off but thats life

it's an IQ test, just like wearing a seat belt.

but if he keep it one, we might think his dick is tiny!

>>2945552
you literally can't see what ur doing with a guard on though

>>2945320 (OP)
Go right ahead. I encourage this. PPE is also gay because it interferes with my vision and hearing.

>>2945647
this, shop I used to work at everyone refused to wear PPE no matter how much managment pussies threatened to write up. any new guy who started off wearing glasses and earpro would get harassed mercilessly and ostracized until he stopped, then we'd let him be one of us.

I take the guard off so I can change discs more easily.
Aint no way am I gonna keep track of where that dumb wrench is.
The only time I miss it is when I break a disc (at rest) by accidentally bumping it with something or if it falls a short distance or whatever.

>>2945320 (OP)
every single time someone says that the guard gets in the way, it turns out that they were just retarded and didn't know how to use a grinder, and nothing they were doing would be impacted by the guard in any way. there are some rare tasks where the guard can in fact be a bit cumbersome, like circular cuts, but the grinder isn't the most optimal tool for them anyway and eating sparks or risking the disk kicking back into your nuts for no reason 99% of the time, just because it can get in the way in that one job, is extremely retarded

>>2945415
the grinder size has nothing to do with it being corded, cordless, or pneumatic. I have a 9'' cordless grinder, among others, 4.5'' or 5'' corded and 3'' pneumatic ones. I have way too many grinders, come to think of it

>>2945674
you don't need a wrench to change disks (maybe in some rare cases when the screw jams really hard) and it has nothing to do with whether the guard is on or not. most grinders that aren't total powerty tier have a toolless change knob that makes it really easy or a wrench storage inside the handle

>>2946161
My grinder needs a wrench if I can't grip the disc.
I can't grip the disc with the guard on.
QED.

Did you take him out back and give him an honary circumcision initiation by angle grinder too? Did you cum in his ears so he knows his mind is other people's cum sock?

Or in other words, a poser

>>2946410
cry more, pussy.

>>2946190
if you stop using a guard your test will go up which will make you more attractive to women.

>>2946418
>cries when guard gets in the way
>calls out others for crying when they poke fun at him
You just need to grow up

>>2946425
maybe you're the type of person who cries when something gets in your way but a real man just removes it. same case here, took the guard off before it was even out of the box and got to work. not that you'd know anything about that.

>>2946428
I just can think one step ahead and realize that not having an eye or a finger is much more inconvenient than having the guard on so I just deal with it like a responsible adult I am.
>but I've been doing it for years and I'm fine
It's always like that until it isn't. There are two types of people: those who show off by doing dumb things, and those who regret they did.

>>2946430
>here are two types of people: those who show off by doing dumb things, and those who regret they did.
There's a third type of person too... Whiny little bitches like you.

more at eleven

>>2945464
oh noes! not hecking 2(two) extra seconds to move the guard! think of the money loss for your boss!

>>2946170
Ahh, John Heisz...

this fucking guy used to install commercial/industrial steel doors for a living which is pretty unforgiving work.
he's probably logged more hours on the angle grinder than you all have gooning to anime. Imagine that for a sec.

Great clip, by the way, I appreciate the effort put in to whomever made it.

>>2946439
>can't deal with minor inconvenience that only happens when using the tool wrong or using the wrong tool for the job in the first place
>tries to spin it as some sort of masculinity thing to dodge criticism
>calls others whiny bitches for poking fun at his retardation
Yeah you just need to grow up

Guardfags keep bringing up the masculinity angle as if the statement in the OP isn't a joke.
Here's the truth:
The reasons people take the guard off rarely include "i want to prove how masculine i am"'.
On the other hand, it is very gay and not masculine if you don't understand (and don't want to understand) how to use the tool safely when there's no guard.

>>2946517
Masculinity is not the reason, it's an excuse to keep doing dumb things because you're either too stupid to do it right or too poor to have a suitable tool.

>>2946473
>Yeah you just need to grow up
>Whiny bitch still whining.

Yup. Figured so.

>>2946561
I'm not the one whining that guard gets in the way lmao
Keep coping

>>2946567
>I'm not the one whining that guard gets in the way lmao
I've never once whined that the guard is in the way, because I immediately throw it away as soon as I get a new grinder. Easy peasy.

>>2946651
You're doing it because you're either a whiny bitch who can't handle the inconvenience of having it on or a whiny bitch trying to mask it under a false bravado. So which one is it?

>I immediately throw it away as soon as I get a new grinder
Do you at least strike a JoJo pose when doing it? Or bros might talk

Many of these safety "features" exist to protect manufacturers from lawsuits, and not to protect you from harm.

>>2946527
You are still wrong because the reason to do it laziness.

Btw having the the guard on would make literaly zero difference on your pic, i.e. cheap poser confirmed

if you're doing something with a grinder where the guard is inconvenient, you are doing something the grinder disc was not designed for and you might need that guard all of a sudden. if you guys wanna catch exploding high rpm fragments though be my guest, less 4chan using internet retards around the better.

>>2945320 (OP)
always keep two grinders in hand
>precision/daily grinder
guard on, cant get precision without thumb control on the shield
>death wheel
that one old grinder the wheel was lost ages ago, its small, it has no safety measures whatever, its only used for cutting Thoose things or That bolt.
if you are serous you need a third one
>God wheel
she be kicking, its the buttold large disk behemoth with a recoil that shifts the earths orbit. you dont turn around with this in your hand spinning, the earth turns around you, satelittes fall out of orbit and russian drones end up in poland when you do.
but dont diss the guard cover.
