I am getting ready to buy some cutting tools, grinders, etc and I was wondering what are some of the better tools out there for the job of maintaining 914s!

What tools would you have in your workshop? |

I have 3 angle grinders.. one has a grinding wheel, one a flap sander, and one a cup style wire brush. I plug them all in to a tri-tap.. makes for fast tool changes. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
For cutting a single layer of sheet metal I use an air body saw.. sorta liek a really small and fast sawzall. And then there's the MIG and plasma cutter.. I couldn't survive without those! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |
