Anybody have a preference on hand grinders? Or horror stories about something to avoid? Getting ready to hack away at my 900 frame.
Air or electric? Die grider or angle grinder? I have two air die grinders. One straight, and one angled? I use the 90 deg. die grinder more b/c it's more comfortable. However, there are times when only the straight die grinder will do to reach. As for my angle grinder, its a 4 1/2" Skil, and it had worked flawlessly for about 15 years. Rough, tough, and always ready to hurt you if you're not paying attention. BTW, I do have a 60 gal compressor. If you are limited on the compressor, then the air powered die grinders might be a problem.

At the time, thought what the hell for $10 bucks, use it till it drops... I used the hell out of that thing in my mod and other home projects and it's still going....
Sure, a Dewalt/Old Milwaukee are excellent name brands for professional daily use... But for occasional use... HFT grinder has worked just fine, no probs what so ever...
You attach a cutting disk or grinding disk... Turn it on it spins, cuts, grinds.... Turn it off...
Pretty sure all grinders basically do the same thing....
I think anyways...:S
