My issue is not just steel, particularly stainless steel, after plasma cutting, the edges are not quite smooth, and destroy my carbide burrs.why?

Yup.hum is the air pressure set to a good pressure?

The belts don’t like plasma cut edges. At least the ones I have don’t. I keep meaning to try different brands.A powerfile with a blue zirconium belt would be easier to use.
Rather than zirconium, try the new ceramic abrasive belts.The belts don’t like plasma cut edges. At least the ones I have don’t. I keep meaning to try different brands.
The Milwaukee RA die grinder reminds me of the Parkside "PWSA 12 B1" 12v angle grinders, which are a copy of the Bosch GWS12V-76. At £20 each ( bare ) when in-stock at Lidl, I am sure they cost a lot less than the Milwaukee item.Never seen an electric right angle die grinder, odd as it's ultimately just an angle grinder with a different shaft. Time to machine an adapter perhaps.
The Parkside runs at 19,000 rpm, which would be fine for carbide burs.Think the revs are a lot different?
+1 for the Milwaukee m12. I’ve the 90 but apparently the straight has more grunt?
They’re good for a die grinder. They’re supposed to be ran balls out so running them low speed is not being kind to them.
The head will not snap. I have generated a pile of blunt ones over the years in all different profiles and none has a snapped. I’d be more worried about the miniature razor blades they fling at you. Especially if you’ve pets indoors. Make sure you leave the bits in the workshop, they are not kind to paws but travel well on clothes and hair!
They do grab but there’s an art to them. I found if you think of it as a milling head and understand climb milling vs conventional milling then it stops grabbing or at least minimise it.
Get a good hold of the die grinder and you’ll be fine.
