die grinders... info please

[Stuart]

Going to be making some exhaust bits and will need to grind down the inside welds etc and I dont think a dremel is gonna cut the mustard...

Had a quick look for a die grinders and air ones seem cheap and plentiful, but I have no comrpessor (and dont really want one tbh). The only mains ones I can find are over £100!!!!! thats mental for what it is imho.

any links to cheap ass ones lol

got a snap-on air powered mini die grinder here, been used twice, yours for £30. i know you dont wanna run a comp but the elec ones have a habit of dying (excuse the pun)

Air realy is the way forward with these

[Stuart]

ffs air ones are £20 in screwfix lol

compressors seem funking expensive :( Wonder if I can just hire one lol (erm.. might aswell buy one for rental rates :( )

[burgo]

just use the burr bits in a drill!!

[Sloth]

i know the cheapo screwfux ones are 20 notesm, but they arnt lifetime guarantee. i'll even throw in a pack of 4 burr bits. just need shot tbh.

[Sloth]

lol, it is a good deal, the grinders are £40 up on gaybay and thats for a used old one. mines still in the cardboard box with instructions...

i purchased a blue point one for £25 new

Belt files/finger files are pretty awesome. But again air ones are better than mains. But as a tool they are funking awesome, not ideal for internal tubes I wouldnt imagine but, the uses & effectiveness of them is fantastic.

I bagged a new die grinder with shed loads of attachments & random other bits for £8 off eBay yonks ago lol does 1000rpm upto 30k rpm.

Stuart, you have PM ;)

[napalm_27]

got a little compressor here that plugs into the mains if you want to come get it £40 :thumb:

[burgo]

those little compressors are **** for die grinders, hence why my die grinders are still brand new lol

[Sloth]

my uncle has a 250litre v twin one, sounds awesome. paid £40 at an auction.

[General Baxter]

sloth, i need a 3/4 impact gun, sell me one lol

[Stuart]

Given I'll be using it for about an hour, I dont need a lifetime warranty lol


Thought snapon air/electric tools didnt get a lifer anyway..

Craig, its to mainly grind down any crap left in the 4-1 collector of the exhaust to get things all smoooooothly transitioning

Can you get proper sized angry snakes? I have the dremel one and its epic, so just that to go in the mains drill will do tbh

[garyc]

U could pop round to mine and use mine, if thats any help.
