I have a keg and an angle grinder and want to cut the top off to make a keggle. I've seen a bunch of people put together clever jigs to make it easy.

Anyone finished with theirs and want to mail it to me for a reasonable price so I don't have to make my own?
 
My jig costs less than the postage to mail it. I'm guessing you could buy it for < $3 and build it in 5 minutes. It's just a single piece of PVC and a big hose clamp. Drill a couple of holes and notch the top of the PVC with some wire cutters and you're golden. Just look at it and see if it will work with your grinder.

You dont need a jig, use the guard as your jig. Here are some pics, just set the grinder on the keg, put the guard against the handle part and start cutting..perfect circle every time..
