Nope! We bought one some years ago - in the hopes that it might replace lugging around the big chop saw or the portable band saw for light work. Nope!

It didn't keep things lined up well and the way the grinder/cutter mounted it had too much flex. Pretty well useless. Maybe this version is better. I had an almost identical unit from Harbor Freight.

I don't know how much time I have wasted hacksawing and filing on tiny little angle and u channel crap that this could have cut through in five seconds... Heck of a jig for $20 @ToolFreak:

I also remember the two for one price on grinders elsewhere on ToolMonger. Might be worth it to dedicate one full time. This is interesting.
