Ok, all i have is a 3 gallon compressor, i don't think (ok, who am i kidding, i freaking KNOW) it won't handle an air driven cutoff wheel. So does anyone know if anyone makes an electric die grinder (cutoff wheel)? If so, where can i get it? I don't think a dremel tool will be able to handle it, and I really don't want to drop $500 or so on a 60 or 80 gallon compressor when i'm not going to have to use it much.

yeah jumbo.. grab a 4" angle grinder at Lowes and look at their huge wheel section.. get the cut off wheels, but be careful, they LOVE to explode on you, so be prepared. also i use the flap discs and the screw on grinding wheels.. all dewalt brands.

yea man, any kind of angle grinder will work. Throw a cut off wheel on it and call it good. wear eye protection, and or a face shield.

I dont like using electric for cutoff wheels at all. Way to much torque, disks explode way to often.

I HATE using them to, but sometimes you gotta use what you got! When i use a cutoff wheel on an electric grinder i use safety glasses AND a face shield. Those things blow up EASY.
