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 think you can get by just fine with Harbor Freight stuff as long as you don't push it too hard. (Which I did with an angle grinder I bought at "Stupid Prices." (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Now it moans and groans and spews smoke. But only because I ran too big a wheel on it and pushed it too hard.)
So now I have another one that I'm more careful with, plus a big old beast for the high-power jobs. I've scored a few great deals at estate sales too. |
