Reply:I would go with a 6" myself. Much better power to weight ratio than a 7".

hey... it was over a year or two ago

Reply:I'd look for used old Milwaukees. My first one is still going and its 30 years old. This is before the mostly plastic body models.I frequently see them for $75.00Metabo has 6" and 7" grinders. I like my 4 and 1/2" and 5" ones.If you go New Milwaukee, I'd get the this one with more metal body, old-style. https://smile.amazon.com/Milwaukee-6...618277&sr=8-17Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Reply:Metabo or Walter (made by Metabo) have a slip clutch but are top of the line HD if you want something for heavy grinding. Personally I'd look at a 6" as it's lighter and less fatiguing to use for extended periods. Brand of grinding wheels can make a huge difference too.

stupid 7 inchers lose another inch because of the bigger center
and the 7 inch makita didn't seem to cut any better than the 5 inchers with 5 inch cutoffs on them either....My solution: yank the guards off the dewalts and slap on the 7 inch discs
worked great!!!! just have to be careful when you set them down if they're still spinning
oh!!! and they have a little bit of precession

Reply:The soft start feature is something I would consider. The Eastwood Contour CST Burnishing tool I recently purchased has it , I like it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The 7"/9" is 6000 rpm and says "optimal rpm for 9" discs."So @Millwrightdude, you may want to look at it like buying a 7" or a 9" because of the rpm matching.

Reply:I think the Metabo 9" are 6600 RPM. Some of the smaller grinders are variable speed and have anti-vibration handles.
