Transforming Old Car Hub to a Precision Metal Cutting Machine DIY Angle Grinder Stand for Perf Cuts

In this video, I’ll show you how I transformed an old, discarded car hub into a fully functional rotating cutting machine, perfect for slicing through metal profiles with precision. This project started with a simple idea: find a use for an automotive hub that I discovered at a local auto junkyard. What came out of it is an incredibly practical tool that any metalworker or DIY enthusiast would love to have in their workshop.

The concept was straightforward but required careful planning and execution. I began by mounting the car hub on a sturdy base to serve as a rotating table. This feature allows the metal to be cut at various angles, a crucial aspect for custom metalwork. To make the cutting process smooth and efficient, I added a swing arm to hold an angle grinder, which can easily be swapped out depending on the task at hand. For safety and convenience, I integrated a start/stop button directly onto the arm, making it easy to control the grinder during operation.

The design emphasizes simplicity and minimal welding, ensuring that even those with basic welding skills can recreate this tool. Though it took a significant amount of time to perfect, the result is a versatile cutting station that enhances the precision and ease of metalworking in any garage or workshop. Watch the full build and see how this once-forgotten car part now plays a key role in crafting sharp, clean cuts on metal profiles!
