Covenstine Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Hello All,I'm looking for a rather odd combination.I only have only one hand, and when working with an angle grinder, I find it exceptionally frustrating when trying to change attachments/wheels.I absolutely love the locking spindle solution that the guys at Black&Decker/RTX came up with for their rotary tool, they call it Flip-Lock, and it locks the spindle without having to hold that tiny pin in place.This isn't exactly a common issue, and it seems it's barely mentioned on most manufacturers' websites.Is anybody aware of an angle grinder that has something like this flip-lock spindle lock?Sticking a screwdriver in the motor to hold the cooling fins worked for a little while, but it's not a good solution.thanks!!~C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter4187 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 This has a "Quick Change System"... http://www.dewalt.com/tools/metalworking-grinders-small-angle-grinders-d28402.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Metabo has a quick change system. Plus they really make great metal working tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covenstine Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Thanks!Looks like the DeWalt is just a gimmic, the manual and DeWalt say "loosten [or Tighten] with wrench" which kind of makes the whole thing a load of tripe.Metabo however, that looks awesome.I was thinking something simple like a spindle latch rather than just a button, but that looks like a great idea.I appreciate it!

Conductor562 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 FYI: The Ridgid branded grinders are produced by Metabo as well. Not sure whether or not the have the quick change system though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneburgess Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) Get the quick change nut that is on mine because it fits almost any grinder press lock button flip up D handle on nut, loosen to remove and Bob's your Uncle disc is off.It is a pain in the ass finding the spanner on most grinders to change discs.
