[Shotimes] OT-Air Tool question

[Jim and Debbie Leyden]

Can't say for certain about the Craftsman but the cheaper ones have an
aluminum cylinder.  THe better ones use a cast iron cylinder.  The question
boils down to how many sets of heads are you planning to port?

Subject: [Shotimes] OT-Air Tool question


I recently bought a Sears Craftsman air compressor (6hp/30 gallon/upright)
and am now looking at air tools.
I want to get a die grinder (1/4 collet, 22K-25K RPM) and see a wide range
of prices.  Harbor Freight carries
Campbell Hausfeld and Central Pneumatic in the $20-25 range and
Ingersoll-Rand for a bit more.  The Sears
Craftsman brands I've seen are in the $60-75 range.  My main job for the
grinder is to do a light port and polish
on some heads for my '68 VW.

I know you "get what you pay for" but I doubt I'll be using the grinder
enough to justify the Sears price. Are any
of you familiar with the Campbell Hausfeld or Central Pneumatic brands?  Any
info would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
