Being that I am a glutton for punishment, I decided to make my own and prototyped the dimensions with scrap card stock (pic 14). It isn't long enough to work with this project and is only shown for demonstrational purposes. Pic 13 shows a store bought mount I had from way back in the day. To mount the angle grinder, my idea was to use some scrap metal, bent at a 90-degree, and mount that to the angle grinder hand screw hole. Pic 15 shows me gluing the pieces together. I cut the EMT in two equal lengths with a pipe cutter, chopped the PVC with a saw, drilled mounting holes in scrap plywood, and put together my split ring slider (pics 5-12). The 2 split ring hangers would be connected in their center taps with a 3/8-inch threaded rod and associated nuts and washers (pic 12). Having the EMT "rails" parallel and mounted as close to the edge of the plywood it is mounted to will also maximize my cutting depth. I replaced the EMT conduit hanger with a split ring hanger to gain ~3/4-inch in my cutting paths. The plunging action would be accomplished with either a stand alone spring hinge or a combo of the regular hinge and an added spring. My OG idea, was to make a rail that the angle grinder could slide back and forth on using PVC pipe to slide on the EMT (This worked well in my camera slider instructable). Looking at pic 4, you can start to get a idea of my hamster spinning the wheel in my head. If combining the conduit hanger/spring hinge is the route you choose, just understand (depending on the manufacturer, of course), you will only have 1/4-inch of usable angle grinder cutting wheel. The spring hinges in pic 3 will also deplete an inch while the regular hinge will take away about a 1/2-inch. The conduit hanger on pic 2, while good to mount EMT, will lose about an inch. Pic 2 & 3 shows that the hardware you choose can minimize your depth of cut but if you are simply using this to mark/score metal, you likely don't need to stress on the depth as much as me. This leaves you with a handicap of usable depth. Your standard angle grinder will often be equipped with a 4.5-inch cutting wheel which will only yield 2 1/4-inches of cutting capacity (pic 1). The problem that came back at me the most was the depth of cut I had to work with, and this is something you need to consider, too.
