As always great work!! Could I ask what brand and model the electric die grinder is in the lower left of the first photo? I've been looking for one like that with the short shaft. Thanks!!

Cary it is a china (Harbor) freight. We dont run an air compressor all my grinders & cutters are electric and my electric bill is about $75 a month less due to the air compressor not running all day.

All electric? good! I can put off my compressor hunt a little longer- I can buy alot of HF electric tools for what my compressor was going to cost! I have been clicking through all of your posts and nice job sir! your shop is putting out some impressive work-

Cary (I guess there are 2 Carys in here!)

Thank you! I'll have to look at Harbor Freight closer. I have a large Milwaukee die grinder that won't fit in a lot of places. And a Dremel is not powerful enough for most stuff. I see a trip to HF in the near future.

Like you I hate to run my compressor unless I really have to.

My wife says that one Cary is enough in the world Was named after a great great grandpa. Growing up it was kind of like a boy named Sue
