Subject:Smaller Angle Grinder?
From:neil N
Date:Thu, 26 Mar 2009 13:17:10 -0700

Hi all.

Finally got around to welding a patch onto worn radius arm hole. I
need to grind some weld bead for new radius outer bushing to fit flush
with new plate. My old Craftsman grinder wheel is too big to work in
that space. And the arbor attachment seems Craftsman specific (I'll
double check) So.....

Any recomends on specific brand and model of grinder that will be
small enough to fit into more cramped quarters? I know I need a 4.5"
(or smaller?) and likely a Makita from what I've read. If there's a
less expensive brand people have had luck with, I'm all ears!

Space I need to work in:

Thanks!
