Default Re: Electric die grinder

I would have to say 25,000 RPM is quite a bit too much. It might get nasty if you caught a corner. A pnuematic die grinder would be a better choice, that is if you have compressed air. If you have a bench grinder caswell sells arbor extensions to give you more room to work with. Flexible shafts are another option if you're dealing mainly with small parts. I have a 1/4" drill that works pretty good, but I don't use it that often. At $150+ it's not something you want to take a chance on letting the smoke out. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Steve
