I just returned a Mikata 4" angle grinder to Home Depot. It was the first of these I had bought and it seemed like a decent buy at $49. What I didn't know was that most grinders have a 5/8" shank while the model I bought had a metric M10-1.25 shank. Of course no one, including HD, carries tool accessories for that shank size and I would have had to order things from Mikata. I checked with two industrial suppliers without luck. So I figured I would bail out and start over.
So my question is: What is the preferred grinder make and size for general auto and home work? 4" or 4.5"? Are all 5/8" shank grinders the same when it comes to accessories, or are some easier to equip? I want to use the usual accessories like brushes, grinding and cutting disks, etc. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Mike |
