it doesnt have the torque/power of a corded one, but this is to be expected. Very handy bit of kit, worth having _________________ Go on, adopt a greyhound http://www.dgrescue.org.uk/ ..........................................................................  |

I have one of these too, but I'd call it a mini grinder... Has the power to cut iron pipes, so is very handy for me... Only drawback is the blade depth, as once starts wearing down, it doesn't cut very deep through the pipe!
Can be a bit hungry on the batteries, but again is expected, and is ideal for short jobs. _________________ www.hintonheating.com

6500 RPM seems very slow for this sort of machine. How does it perform compared to a normal one? _________________ Why isn't the number 11 pronounced onety one? |

I only use mine for cutting iron pipes which it does with ease... A mains fed one would be better, but for the infrequent times I use it, its perfect. _________________ www.hintonheating.com

There is less dust and less noise and you can take it anywhere with ease.
I have used it to remove burrs etc. But I have not tried cutting or grinding metal with it yet.
I'll have a go in the next few weeks and report back  _________________ DIY | DIY Video |
