[TheThinkTank] power tools at the Co-op – Hi Folks,
We currently have a 5" side grinder, 6" wheel grinder and corded and cordless drills at the Co-op. When we get back in to a larger space, we'll get the drill press out of storage. We have access to lots of construction tools when we need to build something.
What power tools do you use at your Co-op?
Anybody using other big tools, like a bearing press, or arbor press?
Thanks and good health, Weogo [...]
A bench grinder with one side a grinding wheel and the other a wire wheel is invaluable.
We had a cheap, low-power one with 6" wheels that I used to feel bad about it being so underpowered, until I realized that made it safer since anything getting caught in the wheels, even fairly fragile objects, would simply stop the motor.
So my suggestion is a low-power bench grinder with one grinding and one wire wheel.
