What kind of Grinders do you guys recommend, we are currently using Milwaukee Grinders and sanders, and the new style goes out on us faster then the older version, we grind steel and aluminum on two shifts so they get ALOT of wear and tear and go for hours with minimal breaks.

We have noticed that the quality has degraded pretty much into the disposable category in the last 10-20 years. With Milwaukee and Skil, it's usually the switches that go bad first. We just the "heavy duty" version of DeWalt's 4-1/2 inch grinder about 6 months ago, and so far-so good, but it does not get the level of use that you are describing. I see that Dynabrade is making an electric grinder now, but very pricey. We've had outstanding success with their pneumatic stuff, but have no experience with the electric tools.

It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.
