This is a very simple angle grinder cutting guide for 125mm ( 5" ) angle grinder.

But it helps in many other ways too.

Good one! Tuomas.
It will be so very handy and dispense with any guesstimation on my part.

Thank you Grahame.
I have done manu cuts with it now. Just clamp liner or try square to the plate and cut.
In my my grinder, distance from the wheel to the the edge of guide, is 24mm.
When i need 100mm wide cuts, i place guide to distance of 125mm when using 1mm wheels.
Feels almost too simple and lame.
It would have been funnier to make something more complicated with moving parts and adjustments. ��
