I'm about worn out. Welding and grinding are hard work. I'll be glad to move onto something else.

Get a real grinder for about 49 bucks at Home Deepblow.
They spin alot faster than your drill and will make it less tiring. Rich |

For heavy duty work...or wide open spaces. None of these tools cost more than 50 bucks.....cept that electric die grinder.....which I don't use much because it has too much poop. Snuggle into a tight spot with that sucker and it'll eat you alive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) . The air powered jobbies are much easier to control

You haven't seen me if anybody asks... Group: Members Posts: 4,738 Joined: 14-June 03 From: USA Member No.: 819 Region Association: Upper MidWest |
Bought me one of those electric Deck and Blacker 4 inch grinders at WallyMart for $33. Came with 5 free grinding disks.
Plenty power, plenty good. Also like dremels for fine finesse. Seen guys take off a coupla tenths (of a thousandth) with one of those. Ken |
