Dremel VS die grinder
Ok, so I know for porting you are supposed to us a die grinder over a dremel, but why? What sets the dremel apart from an electric die grinder?

Re: Dremel VS die grinder
When 99.9% of the world refers to a die grinder they are reffering to one that is powered by compressed air. They are better because they have 25X more nut to them than a dremel ever thought of having.

Re: Dremel VS die grinder
An electric grinder vibrates really bad, so bad you can't use it too long.

Re: Dremel VS die grinder
^If you have to finish with a dremel, you are using the wrong bit in your die grinder. Throw that fucking dremel in the garbage
 You have to use the appropriate bit for the job, and material. I can make a smoother cut with my die than with a dremel, because I can control the speed of the cut better.

Re: Dremel VS die grinder
The other reason I don't like them is because you can't get a very large bit
 , and they have no nutz!! A long time ago I tried to gasket match a head with a dremel NOT FUN!!!!

Re: Dremel VS die grinder
 Thanks guys. I will keep the dremel though, I still like to carve wood . Also, I thought the sanding/buffing wheels might be nice to polish the letters on mine and Mikes valve covers when we paint them. I was hoping an electric one would suffice so I could do it at home and not have to drive to the shop, but its not that big of a deal. Its an off brand, but the tool itself and 200+ bits and shit was $20. Thanks for the input guys!

Re: Dremel VS die grinder
Dremels are like Hondas. 35k rpm and .1 ft-lb of torque.
I have electric and pnuematic die grinders. The electric has more torque, but the air is so much lighter and easier to control speed, I always go back to the air powered grinder.
