This trade has the advantage that one can reference these models to "copy the idea" and create a similar accessory with the same function. Previous experiences shared by other users on the Internet through blogs or YouTube videos are very helpful for this. When searching or "googling," it’s recommended to use terms like "homemade," "DIY," or its English equivalent "DIY" (do it yourself).

The recent incorporation of 3D printers into the production of all kinds of accessories brings excellent designs within our reach, which no longer need to be physically transported but are sent digitally over the Internet. This way, "someone" can print them and sell them in the local market, mostly on platforms like MercadoLibre. This is how we begin with one of the most affordable options on this list.
It consists of 3 plastic pieces that form an articulated bench mount and a guide. Its approximate price is $300.
This articulated mount has a very basic functionality, and although it holds the tool well, the lack of a compensating spring makes it somewhat dangerous, as the grinder’s weight could break the disc. To avoid this, the operator must constantly hold and support it, which can become very tiring. And don’t forget that it’s made of plastic, which is prone to breaking if not handled carefully.
If the previous one seemed a bit rudimentary, now we’ll look at some models with a more robust and functional design.
The following mount features side protection for the cutting disc and a recovery spring. This version has a stable base plate, a clamping device for workpieces, and is suitable for all common angle grinders available on the market.
Its approximate price is around $1,800.
It’s important to highlight the presence of the recovery spring, which compensates for the grinder’s weight, making it so that only a very light downward effort is needed to cut. The lower arm is the device for clamping the workpiece.
The clamping method for the tool is the weakest point of this equipment. Since it’s designed for any grinder, it doesn’t utilize the handle threads, as these holes are not standardized and vary between brands and models.
Another model available on MercadoLibre for an approximate price of $1,000.
This incredible accessory transforms the grinder into a completely different tool and is useful for very specific cases.
It features a multi-brand head and several accessories. It even includes an air intake for a vacuum cleaner. It’s available on AliExpress or Amazon for approximately $30. Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to find it in Argentina.
Several brands offer different exclusive attachments for their products. For example:
