Trouble getting air die grinders

[JOEPRO]

These are the accessories I use with my m12 and air die grinder

 

[graffian]

Desoutter or Dynabrade?

What is the makita like to use?

What I use it for needs accurate placement and minimum bearing runout to stop chatter and bounce. the weight and ergonomics are important for its accurate use. Its on hardened tool steel which is carefully shaved away so i was put off by the 1.6kg of the makita. it does not need to do heavy work under a lot of load, more precision. Which seems like an oxymoron when you say die grinder and precision!

Well if you want to avoid chatter and bounce, avoid the milwaukee angled die grinder.

I have an M12 die grinder and full roloc disc kit etc too. It's great for what it is.

However, in terms of raw spindle speed and power my Air die grinder is better. So if I was to grind out a load of spot welds I'll reach for the air grinder every time.

So your experience with a battery one will depend on what your planned works are.

I don't have any M12 gear so I couldn't comment on it but my battery die grinder is far more powerful than any pneumatic die grinder I've ever used or owned. The only downside would be the overall size, somewhat mitigated by the lack of air hose and the fact you can hold onto it properly.

I've not been able to stall it, it doesn't slow down enough under load to cause chatter/kickback and has a 25k rpm top speed, of course it depends on what you are using these things for but pneumatic tooling is getting a bit long in the tooth now.

I still use the pneumatic right angle grinder for "roloc" discs, maybe I'd drop it for the dinky Milwaukee m12 but not as yet.

Ill look it up, thankyou,

Anyone had any experience of shinano pneumatics?

I have looked at their range online today and sent an email to see if there is a uk dealer.

Most of my air tools are Shinano, any that aren't I replace with Shinano when they die.

I think they are great, often only twice the price of the cheap tools but more than twice the quality. Most tool stores here in Australia at least stock some Shinano products which shows something.

This is a Shinano die grinder rebranded as Endeavour. Endeavour E1108 - Shinano SI-1108B

I have also attached pictures of some of my other Shinano tools

I use the M12 straight and angled Die grinders too, great bits of kit.

I use 1/4" carbide bits sometimes, that requires an 8mm to 6.4mm collet adapter sleeve, you can buy an m12 1/4 " collet so might treat my self.

I have a Snap-on air grinder but rarely use than now to be honest.

They don't like 3 inch sanding disks, but fine with 2 inch Rolock.

Unfortunately the model number in the post seems to be the ⅜" ratchet. Thanks for the info on shinano. Unfortunately they have yetto reply.

The type of job it is used for i would use the straight version but i will take not on the chattery angled head.

Sit down

I was sat down, but the prices then blew my socks off

Desoutter or Dynabrade?

I have not looked at dynabrade so i will try their website, the desouter website is endless! I think i need somewhere i can walk in and try one or see their rep! But i think their prices may also be steep.

Sorry, I copied the wrong one from my old post on another forum. It is an old part number anyway so isn't much use: Endeavour E2002 - Shinano SI-2002

I have tried to contact Shinano using their web form twice. One time I got a response the other I didn't. The time I got a response they couldn't answer my odd question so directed me to the distributor.

your best option is probably to contact the UK distributor who is listed as:

Name	Aerotech Abrasives Group Ltd
Address	Unit 710 Street 3 Thorp Arch Estate Wetherby LS23 7FF
Phone	+44 1423 202811
Fax	+44 1423 202833
web site	www.aerotechabrasivesgroup.com

They say they OEM to many brands, I have never seen a list but in a photo they once posted there were boxes labelled Either Atlas Copco or CP (I can't remember which one).
