My Makita 4.5" grinder has not failed on me yet. So, do I have that to look forward to? That dewault is about double the price I paid for my Makita at Home Desperate.
 
My 4.5" Cratfsman Proffessional seems to holding up pretty well. I got it to cut/grind the spring plates off my 14bff. I cut through the steel pretty easy and has never bogged down on me. It was alomst to powerful for me at first, I had to learn to hold back a little because it was gringing the 1/2" springplates way too fast.

I've also used to do some demo work at work, and aside from the power cord, I'm very happy with it. $27 on Sale. :D

i dont mind spending a little extra to get that much extra. the dewalt seems like a great buy so i got it. with s much as ill use it i definetly am willing to spend the money!
 
i got a hf grinder to last 2 years, long enough for me. but i bought a black and decker, its tons better then the hf and only $15 more. i could stall the hf grinder and the B&D doesn't even come close. runs smoother too. well worth the $50 for it
 
Dewault no question about it, and spring for the bigger one. I think the 10amp is the bigger one right? Cuz i bought the smaller one and it burned right up, so I took it back and got the bigger one, yeah im pretty sure its the 10amp one.
 
dewalts are geat.I got the 15amp 4HP 7'' one. it will cut throu a 3/4 ton frame in just a couple min.
 
yeah its the 28402 model which is 10 amps rather than the 402 which is 7.5. should hold up well.
 
i have used that dewalt at work a lot, good tool, doesent bog down easly at all, good balance and control Even with an 8" cutting disk on there. The paddle is the way to go
 
how did you get an 8" wheel on a 4.5" grinder????????
 
take the gard off, and slap it on, nothing stopping you just watch your knuckels.

wasculling clip off old windows and a regular disk wouldent reach so a 8" would give you the room, to cut between the frame and the block.

haha, i set ours up at work like that for chopping ss shafts out of the boats... tiny workspace down in there and that works great... :wink1:

my boss was all nervous, it is a death machine like that... gotta concentrate on what your doing or you could definitely lose a finger...

and yup, our 4 1/2 at work has been the Dewalt for about 8 yrs now and that thing is a beast.. very quality tool... i was thinking of picking up the Dewalt buffer/grinder last week when i needed one.. but my body supply guy talked me into a Makita again.... had considered a Milwaukee, great motors but a little heavier. and the extra $50 talked me into the Makita... :wink1:
