Strange !!!

The whole reason it is called a die grinder is that it is used to grind and shape tool steel in the hands of a tool and die maker as he makes a die for punch press work.

Unless you=92re going to be working with VERY soft materials do not buy a pneumatic die grinder.


Using a carbide burr in a die grinder you can work with very hard materials

No matter what the outcome, I consider a day that I learn SOMETHING to be a good day. And some days I learn NOT to do something.

do you mean aluminum soft, mild steel soft or ????

or softer than ????

cheers Bob

Or maybe, don't buy the cheapest one around? What ARE you talking about?
