The magic smoke finally escaped from my Milwaukee 4.5" angle grinder. I
think I got my money out of it ;found in a box of yard sale junk $10 in 1987
looked heavily used then. It's been set up with a wire wheel for some time
now and had a habit of getting to hot to hold for a while. The sad part is
the replacement ( if I went and bought one...have 2 others ) will cost far
more and probably not last 1/2 as long.

Simple solution, keep buying those old tools at garage sales, they
are beter than most of the junk sold today. A sad situation, but true.
