Sound reasonable?

I'd try it that way, but let's hear from some others, because I try lots of things for lack of the correct tools. I hate buying tools that I know I'll only use once, so I end up improvising a lot. For example, I used the angle grinder to grind a 45 degree angle in a half coupling. A bench grinder would have been ideal for this, but I don't have one. I put the grinder on the floor, strategically locked the grinder with my knees (I don't know if there are grinder police, but I'm sure I'll hear about this) and held the coupling to the grinder wheel as I turned it slowly. I took my time and it came out great, so I think you can just go lightly and slow until you get it to where you want it. Dyer, retired
