cfm to run air drill or die grinder?

[mark williams]

Will the wolf 90 do it ok with 14.6 cfm?

Yes mate, same output as my compressor but it will run near continous. Go the TQF and ask for Terry, get a sealey model. Much easier buying local in case of any problems?

 

[mark williams]

How much are they?

 

[SmartWerks]

Don't know what they run at know, had mine a long time. Me first comp was a wolf one, don't rate them myself. Would rather pay a bit more for something that will last. To me sealey are the cheapest you want to go, as I found the wolf a false economy.
I can ask next time I'm there, probably be Friday. Send me a text Friday morning to remind me. I sent you me new number?

ir drill easy grinder they use a lot of air and you would be better of using else tric grinder why run a 2.5 kw motor when half or less will do the same job not to mention they freeze your hands

Die grinder? better off with a compressor which will run many tools and the tools are cheap as chips in comparison.

But ye wear gloves. Gets really cold when i'm porting

Correct snooper, i was told that to run a tool by air rather than by electricity is 9 times more expensive. As well as the huge amount of cold air you dump into your work area, and the noise.

I would personally go electric, I never use my air grinder or air polisher always electric even use an electric DA

air tools every time. Lighter, cost less and have finer control. My Dremel died the other week, air die grinder bailed it out.

dremels are a waste of space, diy only, like most things of that size, give them any real work they heat up and die a sudden death

 

[mark williams]

Will the wolf run the die grinder for few mins here or there. It's not industrial it's only in my garage!

 

[SmartWerks]

No problem, I port manifolds with the same cfm and don't suffer any loss in pressure

but what were u trying to do with the dremmel . overload it no doubt .i have one and i also have air die grinders . both have there uses.

I've got a mini air die grinder too, sounds like being at the dentist. Great bit if kit, the Dremel couldn't compete. Way cheaper too

I use a small regulator to set the speed of my die grinder when using carbide milling bits to port heads or cit plastic air intakes etc, runs fine from my 15cfm 150l compressor.

nope, shaping 22mm MDF profile with a sanding drum. I use it when it's too late to run the compressor.

air tools over a dremel they just don't have any good power, do you cringe when you use it
