Excellent electric die grinder! - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Had to replace my ol Craftsman POS die grinder. Ideally, my die grinder would have constant speed, plenty of torque(!), and a wide range of speed settings. All that and more...Check this out:

May I suggest the Makita GD0800 die grinder:

I went with the Harbor Freight speed control for the Craftsman, but torque was piss poor as the speed was reduced...frustrating.

Not with the Makita! Worth some serious consideration if you want to do some serious porting. I still like my pneumatic Snap-on for the dynamic control...but that may change after I use the Makita some more!

FYI,

P.
