Re: [falconKB] Harbor Freight Angle Grinders

None of these for two reasons.

First, if you're working on a surfboard you'll need something with variable speed down to around 1000 to 1500 rpm at times. These 10,000 rpm burners will be near useless on a surfboard.

Second, I went the HF route on a Variable Sander/polisher. Bought the better, stronger, lighter, more expensive one. It failed after maybe 10 hrs worth of use. Opened it up and found a burned circuit in the speed controller. I was pissed.

They are way less expensive. Some people get lucky and some are unlucky. Your choice.

I bought a Makita replacement. Super smooth, balanced and powerful. Not cheap though.

Good luck.
