Air tool recommendations

[pickleboy]

if you are talking about a straight line die grinder i suggest the 1/4" shank felt bob set. they come in various shapes and with greaseless the should move metal fast. also as mpierich suggested the cart rolls or drums would be good also since they come in various shapes and grits. i have read in this forum that some people have not had the best of luck with felt and regular coupound but i have been using it lately w/ my dremel and have had good luck it is just slow moving in a dremel, do to lack of torque, in a die grinder it should work fine. let us know what works for you so we can try it if we have not already, and as always best of luck.

wow, looks like I don't get to use my new pneumatic toys! I have used a drill previously, but had a guy tell me he had way better results with air tools.

The max rpm of the grinder is 20k at 90psi, I suppose I could slow it down with less pressure but I still wouldn't know how fast it was really going.

Get you a pressure regulator with a gauge and start out using low air pressure, say 15 psig. If the grinder is bogged down by applying any kind of pressure to the part, go up to 20 or even 25 psig. Keep trying until you reach a speed that you can tell you are making progress. That's what I did with the felt bobs and greaseless compound because I read where they didn't take to well to high rpm's. If you can't get ahold of a regulator, let me know and I'll see if there's not one laying around some where. Later.
