Re: Dynabrade 18160 grinder

I have mostly experience with snap-on, bluepoint, mac, etc. but I'm sure many other brands perform to their price point..

I have seen the larger hp grinder motors for tire buffers, and body sanders, etc. but never used them in that application..

I will caution you that these types tools use a lot of air and may not be feasible in a home shop/garage..

I have a modest size compressor in the garage that works great for impacts and air ratchets for short bursts of work..

but extended use of die grinders and angle grinders/sanders runs the compressor constantly..

so you may want to consider the amount of work you're looking to get out of the tool and size the air motor accordingly..

good luck!

pile of air motors that each have different tools in them so I don't have to change often

that bluepoint cutoff is a 1/2 hp at 25 cfm



some of the assorted air tools I still use in my home garage..
