Worked in a plastics factory for six years. Dozens and dozens of the $10
to $15 Harbor Freight die grinders. (Owner was a bit cheap...) While
some broke while new, amazingly many of them ran for *years* on wet
nasty unfiltered air with only occasional oiling.

What they all lacked was the power to take a heavy cut. The lone Sioux
in the plant was passed around constantly for heavy cuts and it too
survived on unfiltered compressed air. Sioux makes good stuff! Wish I
could afford to buy a dozen:-(
