I had look at the thread title twice
I think there is a porn star named Angie Grinder.

Just got up and am having my first cup.
Thinking about it I'm guessing it's not tight enough. I think it's spinning off when I stop the grinder. Momentum?
Gonna try it again as soon as I finish my second cup.

If hand tight ain't working, give up.

And I hope you got a grinder with a paddle switch. Yeah, I did. Wanted to get one that locked, too, but it didn't have the option.

You have a Lower flange washer and an upper flange washer, lower FW should have one or two flats on the center hole and the upper is just a round hole, make sure both washers are removed.
If it's still coming loose you have the wrong thread.

Safety tip: "If the sparks aren't coming at you the grinder will be"
Cutting disks are dangerous, grinding disks can be also.
Good luck with your project.

Gonna try it again as soon as I finish my second cup. my rubber backing plate takes a threaded nut. that was brand specific.... someone mentioned(in my thread earlier this week) a particular angle grinder that stopped pretty much as soon as you switched it off, as if it had a brake... but even that shouldn't spin it off.

Think it was two things. Didn't have it tightened enough and I was trying it without a load. The lack of load was not allowing it to get tighter. When it was stopping (I think the grinder has a 'braking clutch' to slow it down faster) the mass of the wheel was causing it to spin off.
Tightened it as tight as I could with my hand, then went to work on a piece of scrap metal in the vise, After 30 seconds or so it was still very tight. Tried reseating the wheel a few times and grinding without it spinning off.
Thanks guys for responding to the dumb question.

I like the flap wheel. Wear gloves and eye protection.

The first grinder I bought when I was 16, a 9"Skill, special order at our local lumberyard,cost a hundred dollars in say, 1961.
No stop on that, I used to put the back rest in a vice, and use a wrench on the nut, and pull hard on the disk.
