Re: Bench grinder or angle grinder?
Yep you need 3 total.
6" HF bench grinder...cheap, for stuff when you need a soft touch or lots of control
7" (or 9") angle grinder, $25 at HF. Start with 2 different discs..BOTH screw on. Heavy for grinding, thinner for cutting (but not like a real thin cutter disc). get the discs/wheels at a local weldind shop.
4" or 4.5" angle grinder, $9 at HF, I have 3. Then go to a welding shop and get a screw on grinding blade. Also pick up some thin cutting blades. These won't last long but they cut nice and clean and are a little over a buck a piece. HF has them but they don't last quite as long. Almost a wash. My local steel has been selling some 7" Dewalt wheels that are cupped, I do find them easier to round over and work with stuff.
And someone just mentioned, I had to use a dremel this weekend to. It's rare but handy.
Good Luck,
Rob
PS, while you are at HF grab a $15 sawzall.
