I was looking for a guide for my 4 1/2 right angle. Cliff(VA) gave me a post for a DW4705 saw guide, but I couldn't find any one who sells it. So when I can't buy one, I made one. This is a very simple design. As the cutoff blade wears down all I have to do is lift up on grinder handle, it will tip the cutoff wheel deeper into the metal No need to adjust anything, just lift up. Or I can easily move the guard instead.
I have a metal bandsaw to cut most of my metal. I also have a 14 inch chop saw. Only use the 4 1/2 cutoff for small cuts or I have used it along with generator to cut large stuff instead of moving the oxygen/acetylene torch.
I think my guide will help me stabilize grinder. If not, I don't have much time or any money invested. My primary tests look good. It will only work if I'm making long cuts.
