I need some recommendations for a hand-held electric grinder
which I will be using to port heads and manifolds.
Some basic specifications:
* 15,000 - 22,000 rpm
* Variable would be nice
* Accept 1/4" grinding and polishing tools
* Under a $100, preferably.
Some initial thoughts:
* Sears recently had one on sale, but was no-load speed
of 26,000 rpm. I've heard rumors that disks and wheels
tend to part company at those speeds.
* Black and Decker makes a box that sits between the power
source and the grinder that can be used to vary speed.
Question - Can this be used on other single-speed units?
* I know air grinders are usually much more reliable but I
need to minimize 1) cash flow and 2) storage space.
I will summarize to the net if response warrants.
Thanks in advance.
