What is a good electric grinder? I have no air in my current garage. And also where can u purchase the little rolls of sand paper to smooth the runners? Jeg use to sell a pack of assorted paper but i dont think they do any more. Thanks in advance

I have a makita, I also suggest getting a router speed control you can get the speed control from harbor freight. The harbor freight expensive straight grinder works but it is not balanced very well. I use one for rough work but really prefer a good one for heads. I do not like the harbor freight sanding rolls, get a set from summit. Alumacut bits are where it is at for aluminum. They are expensive but well worth it. A long and short each of ball, small cone and tree works great. I rarely use the barrel shaped one..

and make your own speed control just get a metal electrial junction box with room for two plug ins and one light dimmer switch........ i use one all the time and it works perfect i think i have all of 3 bucks in it cause i bought a good cord for it. the rest i just had laying around the house

I cannot read the part number on the makita, It is old I got it from a friend. I went looking for a spare and do not know where to find one. I suggest getting a router speed control from harbor freight.
