Truenotch Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Air linishers are the shit, but the electric ones are also the shit.  A black & decker powerfile will be fine to get you started, they're about $170. If you end up using it lots, step up the pay scale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Sweet good to know! Will grab one and give it a whirl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Wez had a turbo bolt that was fucked and couldn't undo it and couldn't get grinder in. Tried but splitter and that sucked so put the air linisher on it for 30sec and bye bye rusted on nut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Should make light work of my welds then. Â Looks like mega has them for $100, should be fine for my usage. Â edit: they come with 3 belts included. I grabbed some 60/80/100 belts while I was at it, should last me a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivaspeed Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 I have a review of the Hitachi electric die grinder that I bought yesterday  I played with it briefly this morning, using a carbide burr on an old exhaust manifold and did a mock port matching job.  Easy to use, a bit heavy so would give sore arms after a few hours use but very easy to move around, munched through the cast iron easy as.  I can see a lot of uses for it / wish I had bought one 10 years ago.  Would probably be careful doing detailed stuff, i.e. like shaping up inside the port of an ali head.  This one doesn't have speed control but wasn't a problem, just move it away from the surface you're grinding, etc.  Might still grab a cheap air one off the Tard (~$30) for small/detailed jobs where air supply won't be such a problem.  Conclusion - It's fucken rad.  That is all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
