8.5 amp Milwaukee grinder>Dewalt 9 amp grinder

Damn, wasn't expecting that. Dewalt is getting booted to wire wheel duty. I figured it would be the other way around.

Milwaukee= way more ass, adjustable guard (can clock it in 4-5 different directions), much better switch. I'm quite happy for $45.

The DeWalt is getting demoted?!!? :lol:

Definitely. The Milwaukee still doesn't have enough oomph for what I want, but eventually I'll get my 5" 14 amp Metabo for grinding, Milwaukee will go to cutting wheel duty, and the Dewalt will stick to wire wheel duty.

The DeWalt DW493/494 is the most powerful grinder out there, but very UNforgiving. ;)

Way too big for me, I need a 5" grinder with around 14 amps.

could it be your dewalt is just past it's prime time from eating so much metal dust?

[nissan_crawler]

Don't think so.
