Who's got one,
What type.
What do you think of it.
Do they compare well with Air powered ones.

I don't have room for a Compressor in my jam packed garage.
Advice please.

GR uses an electric die grinder for all head work, and it gets a big workout.
At my last job we had a Makita one, it was good with carbide burrs but speed was only 7000 rpm.

be aware there are both 6mm and 6.35mm (1/4") standards for the collets.
You can fit & use 6mm burrs & stones in the 1/4" chuck, but not the reverse.
(edit) I like my Ingersoll Rand 22,000rpm air one. 1/4 HP. :P

My preferred option but the Rumpus Room is behind the garage.
Now I don't mind working on the mini in the rumpus room BUT :|

Thanks Kev
1/4" collet is the way to go then.

I've got a Makita GD0602. Seems to be OK as never used an air grinder. 25000RPM. Don't recommend using cheap stones and extension cable bendy thing. It kinked while I was using it. Yeah...not good. :shock:

I have a Makita one as well. Rather use that than the air one, compressors don't have a very good duty cycle.
