IN MY EXPERIENCE,...
IF YOU RUN THEM A LOT, OR ARE USING THEM LIKE THEY OUGHTTA BE USED.... THE
STOP PIN FOR CHANGING CUTTERS WILL BREAK, AND THE DRIVE SHAFT BUSHINGS WILL
WOGGLE OUT.
THE GOOD NEWS IS; -IF- YOU ASK FOR, AND PAY THE EXTRA 10% EXTRA FOR, A
-FULL- (2 YEAR?) ELECTRIC TOOL GUARANTEE, -WHEN- IT GOES ON THE FRITZ,
YOU TAKE IT BACK TO SEARS, AND BRING YOUR -NEW- ONE HOME ! KEEP THAT
RECIEPT!!!
I'M ON MY 3rd ONE AND SHE'S MAKIN' NOISES (UGH THE GUARANTEE HAS RUN OUT
!!!)
GREAT IDEA ON THE SPEED CONTROL NEIL!
THANKS I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT,.. AND I HAVE A SPEED CONTROL IVE BEEN
SAVIN FOR YEARS, WELL, DUH. :-)

Dana;
I've been using a Craftsman electric die grinder for the last 25 years and I
like it a lot. It has a 1/4 horsepower permanent-magnet motor but no speed
control. I built a box with a good SCR speed control that I plug the die
grinder into when I want to control its speed. I'm sure their newer models
probably have a speed control built-in, so take a trip to Sears and check
out a Craftsman. On sale, they're not badly priced.
Regards, Neil Tucson, AZ
