Pencil grinder recommendations

[dogdad]

Would like some recommendations for a pencil grinder,,just learned about this tool. I see some can cost a bit, but I'm looking at the lower price side. Also, what is the recommended compressor size to run these gizmos...thanks

I use a Chicago Pneumatic at work almost daily, really like it. It's much better than HF version... As far req'd CFM cp should have specs on their website, just remeber to oil frequently.

I own a lot of HF tools and have great luck using them without issues, but the HF pencil grinder I bought literally exploded the city time I hooked it up. Stay away! I bought one com Matco for around $130, and love it.

Ingersoll Rand makes good ones.

I've been using this one for Astro Pneumatic for a few years now. I scored a few pounds of free burrs for it so I use it a ton. Used it last night actually. Someone from Astro posts up here quite a bit.
