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


A brand new Porter Cable POLSIHER #

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

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,

a

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!

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!

I provided a link to a variable speed model. Oops! You blew it again!

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

RB

God forbid some newbie to sailing takes a cue from Bob and tries "buffing" a

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

Guess not!

RB

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

Only if your wife was sitting on the cord.
