I'm more worried about the air supply you will need. The die
grinders vary from about 7cfm to more than 15 cfm. Cheaper ones
seem to take more air. And 15 cfm at 90 psi is a LOT of air.
Think 30 amp/240 volt circuit.

Greetings all,

I have been looking to pick up a couple of die grinders, straight and 90
degree, finally going to bite the bullet. I know IR is the top of the line,
however I do not use one all day every day. I have been looking at Sioux,
Nuline, Florida Pneumatic and Chicago Pneumatic. I have used a Sioux
before, seemed like a good tool. I am a bit leery of the Nuline due to the
cheap price. The Sioux and Fla. Pneumatic are in the same price range, so I
guess those would be the ones I am favoring.

Any opinions/input anyone might have would be greatly appreciated,
Jim C Roberts


PS I will be using the grinders for polishing/finishing metals, mostly
stainless steel.
