Hi guys,
I don't have access to a big compressor and air tools, and I wondered if there's a good electric equivalent for a rotary cut-off tool. What are you using? I've got a Dremel for small brackets and such. I don't need the power to cut and replace big sections of sheet metal, but some power would be nice. |

I have the Makita GA-4030 4" electric cut off tool and it's a very handy. Wish I had this years ago. Anything my dremel can't handle I go straight for this. Bought a concrete blade for concrete cuts too.

There are places the angle grinder is hard to use. So I use both. I tried the air tool route, but I would always get to a point that I was waiting for the compressor. I tried a couple of larger compressors. Go electric. |

Electric grinder with a 1/16th inch thick cut off blade is what made my car the scale champ that it is.
