Deburring machined parts with pneumatic right angle die grinder. Looking to switch to cordless electric.

[Brandon_oma#692]

As the title says I am currently deburring machined parts with a pneumatic right angle die grinder. Light duty, small material removal, used for a few seconds then set back down for a minute or 5. I have a few old ones of various origin and a newer harbor freight one I like. Using roloc sanding disks. Could use a stick on sanding pad probably. occasionally use a scotchbrite.

Will always have PNEUMATIC straight and right angle die grinders available for actual grinding. looking for something cord free for deburring.

Looking to switch to cordless electric. Most of my battery tools are 20V Dewalt so This looks like a new 12v platform to start. I would probable get 2 grinders and 4+ batteries.

This is the one I currently use the most. I do not run it at full rpm for what I am doing so slower is probably just fine.




harbor freight?




Walmart? not sure on extra batteries and fast charger.




Possibly a sander instead?




What brands should I be looking at? Open to random brand with a few decent reviews.

Thanks.

The answer of course is Milwaukee but in your case, since you're already in the DeWalt system, DeWalt in the last month has released a new 20V right angle grinder.

looked huge until I watched the video. I did not know that existed.

I thought this router contraption looked close enough to pneumatic deburring/beveling tool at some point:

That is neat, modular drill with small router head. I have thought about the pneumatic chamfering tools before. Backburnered the idea trying to go cordless, and most of these parts are too small. Larger parts that would be phenomenal.


This has been in and out of the cart a few times.

I have the Milwaukee Fuel M12 Cordless Right-Angle Die Grinder. If it died today, I would go to the store immediately and buy 2 replacements, even if I had to put it on credit.

Now that I see that HF has an offering, I'm tempted to pick up one of their offerings and see if I can use it as an auxiliary set-up to run the cutting wheels instead of constantly swapping bits.

Try using Roloc Scotchbrite discs instead...Knocks burrs off with very little if any metal removal. It's almost the only thing I use for deburring aluminum parts.

I agree. You can also get them with various sanding grits and scotchbrite grits. So you can quickly step down from a heavy grit to a polishing disk as needed.

I grabbed one of those air chamfer tools for cheap but haven't used it (also what sparked the idea of using the B&D router as an option). fwiw, I would probably pick up the walmart or HF angle die but I want to reduce my battery platforms and prefer my 24V for battery life.

I agree that swappable head platform is kind of neat and fairly priced from B&D direct but can't justify even more power tools. There's even a band file head (which might make for a decent debur w/a scotchbrite belt too).

Pneumatic die grinder will be one of the very last pneumatic tools I give up.

I have no complaints with my Milwaukee M12 die grinder, well actually I do not like any of the 2.0 batteries. They don't last long enough and all of the ones I have died rather quickly.

Pneumatic was in my head but did not make it to the fingers.

I have the M12 right angle grinder for deburring and it's by far my favorite tool in the shop.

I have the Mcgraw pneumatic one and have used it for 2 years at work with no issues for surface prep, clean up, and debuting.

I recently picked up the 12v Hercules angle grinder because I'm tired of dragging the air hose around. I have zero complaints about it. I already had the Herc charger for my 20v tools so I didnt have to worry about that. The batteries were on sale at the time so I got the tool and 4a battery for less than $90.
The batteries aren't on sale anymore but the tool is $54 right now with a coupon.
