Default die grinder...right angle or straight

I am thinking of picking up an air die grinder. Which one is more comfortable to work with...90 degree angle or straight? Thanks.

The 90 if your using the disk type (3Mpads), but I suggest both so you can use the flappr wheels also, you find that they both are useful in the plating business.

The straight up works fine from prep to finish the angle is nice to use to but with wheels the straight up can get you in even better

So i would go with the straight.. But buy a good one that will last longer.

The angle is for the 3m disk not the flapper wheels. You don't have to get a expensive grinder, just keep it oiled and by the way you can buy two grinders for one of the big name grinders. Unless you just have the money buy the big name brand, but when your on a budget you have to do what can to get by, trust me I know.

Turbo hard top,

I have seen a 110 degree die grinder, might be the best of both worlds!
