Small, light hand grinder
I know many of you have talked about smaller, lighter handgrinders than Dremel and their clones. I found this grinder at a Michael's store about a year ago, on sale, and at the sale price I was willing to take a gamble. It has a 3/32 chuck. I have a few bits for my Dremel and a couple of stones came with it. I had not found a real use for it until yesterday, when I needed to take out about ten mils from the inside of an engine cowl for my 1:144 Boeing 307. One of the rod shaped stones that came with it fit inside the cowl, and looked good, so I tried it. Worked fine! I am really happy with it. I think it was less than 20 bucks when I bought it on sale- looked it up and it lists for thirty. The brand is Bead Landing, and it is found in the beading section of craft stores. It has a speed control and I used it at its slowest speed. It comes with an AC plug in power supply.
