I did suspect so, but when I checked the no load speed of a proper die grinder it was maybe 2k over.Also about 10k rpm too fast...
They're a tool of last resort for me...my mate calls them the shard generator!I'm still not convinced I want to repeat the hail fire of a million sharp chips everywhere
Thanks, but I just wanted to make use of what I already had. It was either this one or my larger (3hp) routerTrend's smallest router is fully removeable from the rest of the router gubbins, giving you what might be considered a slightly cumbersome die grinder - also has variable speed.
Bosch do a die grinder that looks to be exactly the same motor with a longer nose on it, probably with an extra bearing or two in it - I have the Aldi version, and it does alright, just clumsier than an air grinder.We were using pretty much that exact Bosch 1/4" router as a die grinder for years on site. It didn't break just went walkies one day.
Won't last five minutesAre die grinder abrasive "stones" a viable alternative for grinding welds back or are they junk that wears out too quickly?
That's what I guessed. Cheers.Won't last five minutes
