Changing the angle on rear suspension

All sounds very posh and professional to me ?

Not being posh or professional just practical, new bench is too high for me to work on if I stand the fame on it plus my vice gets in the way and not owning a proper uppy/downy bike lift/workbench (I know our illustrious leader has one for sale but its a bit far away and outside my pocket money limit) I will have to manage with what I have - its the type of lift that fits under the frame rails and acts like a big jack.

My intention is to make a jig that will bolt across the supporting arms and carry the frame, holding it in place so I can fit various bits back on and cut off the bits I don't want.  I've managed to acquire an old hospital bed frame from work that is providing the raw materials for the jig (box and rectangular tubing of varying wall thickness - avg 3mm).

I have however hit a snag - my new cutoff grinder takes 180mm cutting discs (7" in old money) which appear to be only available on line.  The thing only came with 1 disc and I've worn away approx ¼ of that in 10 cuts - I have contacted the supplier (Lidl) who stated we do not keep spares/consumables for this product and proceeded to redirect me to a German website which was fine until I realized that they don't stock the discs either.

Moral - Stop buying stuff that appears a bargain (cheap) cos it will cost you more in the long run.

Anyway onwards and upwards - pics to follow

Lot's of cutting discs on Ebay and so on, just do a search for 180mm discs.

You can buy a small angle grinder for about £20? And cutting discs are cheap enough from machinemart
