I bought myself a compressor and el cheap tool kit. I was kind of hoping that the cutoff tool would be the right thing for cutting out the cancer. Had a go at it today but this tool was useless. No torque at all - stalled with very little pressure - hardly any sparks. There is an adjuster on it that seems to throttle the air supply. Played with that a bit but it didn't really make any difference.

So do I have a faulty tool or just the wrong tool for the job?
