Hey guys, so I have been just getting by with a 5 in angle grinder and a dremil tool for a lot of my work, and its time I upgrade the dremil to a 1/4 straight die grinder.
I'm looking at metabo, milwaukee, or bosch?? So far I've noticed that the metabo has a long flex attachment that I can buy at a later date, but haven't noticed any of the other brands offering this (they might). So I'm leaning toward the metabo. about $250 online.
Next ? Not much that I found on this forum about electric pencil/die grinders. Are most of you using air? I don't have a air compressor right now and I feel electric would be more portable and useful for me right now.
And consumables like carbide tips, cutting wheels etc. Where do you guys buy these? local or a cheap place online? Assuming that brand carbide tips shouldn't make much of a difference or are there cheap Chinese brands I should avoid?
Thanks!
