Bad idea...explained later. But yes, as long as you keep the blade guard on & of course it will "work". Though, it's quite wild compared to a Circular Saw or a smaller Trim Saw. However, "safely" is a bad gamble.

You're talking about multiples of higher RPM's & both accuracy & control will then be largely out the window compared to proper devices. One big problem area is ever so slightly twisting your cut (which is normal & not just common with grinders) & that twist binds to instantly & literally toss the grinder at you or any part of you or anyone else close by.

Grinders usually don't have a braking mechanism & very slowly free-spin down to a stop, you don't want to be the braking mechanism.

r/woodworking on Reddit: Angle grinder saw blades - safe or no?
June 10, 2024 -

Recently learned that they sell mini circular saw blades that fit into a 4.5 inch angle grinder. That would be pretty damn convenient for dealing with small trees and such in the yard, but it seems like an amputation waiting to happen. Are they safe when used right? Seems like it would be prone to binding and kicking.

What is the best wood cutting blade for an angle grinder? - Quora
Answer (1 of 5): Don’t put a cutting blade on a grinder, fingers, knees, other people are all precious, you would be putting yourself and others in danger. I don’t care what the ads say, it’s a terrible idea. I use angle grinders every day, there are 3 or 4 of them in my truck, and I’ve been usi...

Innovative Woodworking: How to Cut Wood with a Cordless Angle Grinder
March 26, 2024 - Cordless angle grinders come with powerful motors which enable spin cuts at high speed. This feature allows them to sever wood fibers. Since dedicated saws have limited blade options, they remain incompetent when it comes to the versatility of interchangeable discs.

Saw blade in angle grinder | LumberJocks Woodworking Forum
Fixed saw blade sounds scary. I use a Lancelot chain saw disk in an angle grinder (Milwaukee). The chain is sandwiched between two plates so if it gets stuck the chain slips, doesn't kickback, just screeches. I love it, really makes fast work of removing wood.

Cutting Wood with Angle Grinders: Is it Possible?
November 9, 2024 - We are going to repeat some of the points we made in the other sections about safety when cutting wood with angle grinders: • Always use the dedicated type of disc (blade) for this task! And nothing but the dedicated types of discs. Using an angle grinder on wood without the specialized blades is extremely dangerous!
