Dilemma

[DXN1EL]

I thought about asking for you guys opinion. on what large 9" angle grinder to buy. I bought my first angle grinder about a year ago without doing any homework,
I got the Hitachi G18SS 7" 6,000 RPM 15 Amp. Is already stating to make weird noise at star up (no soft start on that thing) the head get hot after 45 seconds of run time. I don't use this thing all day everyday.

What I found so far are the

Metabo W26-230

Fein WSG 20-230

What do you guys think?
Anything that's worth looking?
Thanks

Both are great units that should serve you exceptionally well...I personally have a soft spot for Fein.

I don't own those but from what I have heard from other members they are top notch tools. At least for me buying them at Garage sales or on CL I don't see many if at all (made in Germany) grinders for sale.

Contact Monte here at the GJ he is the one that can help you out if you have specific questions about either model.

The Metabo claims 159 lb of torque. But I haven't found anything about the Fein.
