I tend to expand my new tools as I run into something I need.

I have no metal working equipment other than a little file. I need to grind down the swivel eye of a hydraulic top link that I recently bought from CCM to make it a few mm smaller.

Long story - it used to JUST fit the OEM top link bracket but I had an extension made to that bracket to move the top link out 4" to accomodate for the Pat's I use. My HTL ended up being a couple inches too short. The new bracket is maybe 1 or 2 mm narrower than the OEM one. The OEM toplink's swivel eye is quite a bit narrower than the one on the HTL I have. Figure I would grind down the HTLs swivel eye.

I see a decent 4.5" angle grinder on sale with disks for cutting and grinding but I imagine that since I can bring the top link to a grinder I could also use a bench grinder (I have neither).

If you were going to buy one - for this and that around a tractor - which would you start with?
