Stercorarius Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I know some people will disagree with me but those are some nice grinders. In a fab setting its really nice to have one for a solid grinding wheel and a pearl fan or cut off wheel on the other because of how frequently you swap you'd have a ridiculous amount of downtime.

J/K Makita fans I had to say it!!I'll start buying Milwaukee grinders when and only when I can get two for $70. Tbh though I use a Milwaukee, Makita, and a Hitachi at work. All are great. The Milwaukee is the go to grinder purely because it is the most powerful. As far as grinders go a higher amperage grinder will beat a lower amperage, yeah I know amps doesn't always equal power, but you won't have any bad luck with a name brand grinder.

Makita and Port Cables were pretty much a waste of time, granted that was a few years ago now and mostly 7" grinders... but I am a firm believer that is why I bought into the Milwaukee line when I did.....

The grinders that I work with don't see that kind of action so you are more qualified than me for industrial use of that magnitude. Longest I ever spent grinding was probably about 10 hours straight maybe third day on the job. Now that I think about I was using a Milwaukee grinder with a cut off wheel and a Makita with a pearl fan (flap disk) on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one pretty chunk of steel. Can't imagine the bill on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
