Finally, somebody with some decent advice. We use De Walt exclusively,
two 24 V hammers, 4 18 V drill/drivers, an 18 V circular saw and an
18V reciprocating saw, plus of course a whole mess of batteries.

| Grinders spin way to fast.

| Good lord. My B&D Grinder is 3000-7000 RPM.

Good Grief Bob.... a variable speed Grinder???!!!!!!
Bwahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!


A brand new Porter Cable POLSIHER #
| 7336SP is 2500-6000 RPM.

Are you going to get one and use it as a "grinder"...????
Bwahahahahahahahaaaa!!!


| Unless your boat is pretty new, you'll be using the upper RPM ranges once
you
| know how to handle it.

Yeah... sure there Tim the Tool man! You'll need the 10k RPM to put wax on
older hulls!!

Bwahahahahahahaaaaa!!

Some grinders do up to 10'000 rpm fixed with NO load,
| and even that's fine with a big pad. It slows down a lot when applying
| wax/compound. Even skilled autoshops will use them, though paint buring is
a
| risk.

I can't even begin to tell you how totally wrong this entire statement is
Bob.... not without picturing your "Professional Grade Variable Speed B&D
Grinder!!!!!! Bwahahahahahahahaaa!!


| Sorry, BOB CARROL. I actually own and use these tools, so you can't come
in and
| hope to make crap up.

You do Bob.....

| BUSTED AGAIN!

You certainly ARE!

| Hate to pop your balloon, Capt., but B&D did make some professional-grade
| tools a while back. They weren't cheap, and they were top-notch. It's
only
| been within the past decade that B&D went the cheap consumer tool route.

You're not poping my balloon at all Max.... I have an almost identical
grinder in the lathe shop as Bob's... it's a B&D but it's not variable and
it's a brute. My B&D 1/2" drill is over 15 years old.

Now the question is would you use a grinder as a polisher.... or would you
label a grinder as "Professional Grade"???

Bob's just having some fun and so am I!

God forbid some newbie to sailing takes a cue from Bob and tries "buffing" a
hull at 10K RPM with a Grinder!!!......

I concur on DeWalt.... I only buy their tools now. No questions asked and
both problems over the last 5 years.... both tools were past the warranty
date and were serviced for free... one repair and one replacement. They
replaced my plunge-router which was a refurb with a brand new upgraded
model.

You just can't beat after market service like that! The tools are well
built.

I found the 18V circular a bit light for most wood work. I also found the
batteries tend to go quick under prolonged and constant loads. Nice tools
for a quick job or repair though. Great for around the boatyard.

To bad Bobsprit isn't allowed to work on his boat at the boatyard. He'd buy
a set in a jiffy!

Poor mooron thinks grinders only operate at 10K. Look again!

How about 4K? 6? Do you even know that some operate as low as 3500?

Guess not!

You'd tear a muscle trying to lift my grinder, pussy boy.

Only if your wife was sitting on the cord.

Scotty, Tools don't make the man, the man makes the tool.

Unless of course he has no tools.
