I have an old Maktec one I brought about 10 years ago for £20. It has done loads of heavy sanding on Alaskan cut boards with a heavy grit , shaping of woodcarvings , cutting and grinding of metal and refuses to die ! I would buy another, in comparison I brought another make and it lasted half a day before the bearings gave up.

Getting into chainsaw carving by any chance Sean? :)

 

 

More angle grinder carving:001_smile: Just thought I should finally get to work on all the wood I've been collecting over the years while I've got lots of spare time. Get an adze to make some bowls, anglegrinder with some Galahad attachments. Have a muck about and use it as part of my physiotherapy regime.

 

And thanks for all the replies gents. Appreciated.

I use a cheapy like £30 from screw fix they have a decent warranty and are well up to the job you can get them for as little as £15 it's not particularly a specialist tool mine get clogged with saw dust and I've always thought the way they get abused picking up switching between tools that I'd rather buy the cheaper ones, so the cost isn't much to replace if anything were to go wrong. More a case of buy cheap because you'll have to buy twice.

Hi Sean on second thoughts if your using the "Galahad attachments" I'd be certain to get something with paddle pressure control something that shuts it off if it was to be prised out your hands there pretty crazy tools and most would advise against using them but I'm sure you'll be fine def wear chainsaw gloves etc.

Have you thought about getting a lathe too, to make your bowls. Can be very therapeutic.

I've been looking at Makita with paddle switch and have just found a Bosch with paddle switch. May get a lathe in time too. Thanks for advice.
