Electric Die Grinders?

[GO 4LO]

I'm looking for a nice electric die grinder. Any recommendations? Leaning toward the 4. 5-amp Milwaukee model right now.



Thanks.

I've always used air operated ones myself... ... ... ...

Spend the extra money for a name brand, I have used booth and there is a huge difference. With rpm's in the 10,000 range, tools of lesser quality show thru. Same goes for the attachments, don't buy the flea market junk.

I wore out two electric ones back when I was porting and polishing heads. Now I have a pneumatic die grinder. It does not get hot and as long as it is kept lubricated and supplied with dry air, it does not wear out.



If you do get an electric one, save some money by getting a good one once, instead of a cheaper one several times...
