#MWShopTalk 

Thanks for your comment. That’s helpful. I’m also a DIYer. Of course, battery is important, but I’m normally only using it for a few minutes at a time. I usually just grab my angle grinder to cut something quick… I have a cornered Ryobi and a Dewalt. Both are great, but I want something cordless and LOVE Festool. I already have some Festool batteries. So, I think I’m going with the Festool. If I need something corseted, I will have the Dewalt (it’s a beast).

I really don’t like cable and work outside when possible . Mains grinders are very powerful

@@ManorWood I hate milwaukee - beacause of the price politics. Here in Germany are twice compared to US marked. Other Brands got the same Level Europe and USA. If you contact mw Service: "Our products Are here more expensive, because of the market. Not because of our Products Are so much better....

​@@goodguy3416it's really a shame Milwaukee operates this way over here

Do like cables , I like to work outside when possible but that’s just me . Not for everyone know :)

exactly. I made the mistake of buying the dewalt 60v flex grider, it gets 10 minutes of use at a time then an hour to charge.

I'm also more of an outdoor guy. I have enough batteries to keep my tools running. Also I like the narrower grips of the cordless grinders

Can’t remember it’s a universal machine wheel kit , had it years

That's gyroscopics

I have a Fein 125mm 700w compact and a 125 1100w with the ergo grip, both excellent 230V grinders. Well worth a look. Cordless wise, I have 22V Hilti 125mm, it does not get tons of use, but its 2 years old and has held up well; runs on 5.2Ah batteries that don't run hot, and came with a quick charger-part of a kit though..

Using carving discs for me feels much safer with battery grinders , I just don’t like that kick and none braking , I have enough battery’s so not a problem

TCL 6 charger is not that much off the SCA 8 airsteam at half the price . I have both but haven't bothered using the SCA 8 after reading the comparison chart . Just incase someone feels they are compelled to buy the SCA 8 they need not.

Bizarre that you “haven’t bothered using the SCA 8” it’s way faster due to the increased amperage and the fan. It also lets you know how long it has left. It’s way better and worth the money.

I expect an bigger battery will be out soon, the feel of these machines for shaping is so nice I just can’t go back to a cord :)

@@ManorWood Dear Sir, Thank you very much for your courteous reply. Indeed I do concur with your good self with regards to working without any cords. I do virtually all my work on cordless power. Kind regards.

Dear Sir and Sir, and any other Sir readers. You, Sir, are quite a Sir and I Sir do appreciate your kind words, Sir. Sir-iously though, Nobody mentioned how nice it is that the festool stands up. I usually fiddle with putting my dewalt down to be sure wheel is up. this is much easier.

@@debandmike3380 Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you very much for your comment.There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Festool cordless angle grinder if used as just that; when one needs to purchase a specific tool for a specific task, one must take into account it's features to see if it's likely to work as intended or create a disappointment. I use my Fein grinder essentially for sanding either with disc & pad (125 &150mm) or use the rollers with special arbor as used for metal work. Rollers cannot tolerate high speeds of 7/8 or 9000rpm, I do believe their maximum recommended working speeds are in the region 2500/3000 RPM max. I never use it for either grinding or cutting metal ( if I were to resort to such activity I would use my existing Metabo fixed speed version). As for resting said machine when not in use most manufacturers add some sort of flat spot on the cast angle head in order to put it to rest. Kind regards.

Not the way I work , cable really slow me down and make you work in a small area of the shop , I work all over the place . Also corded grinders feel bit hard to handle with carving disc the battery one are very smooth

Lol . Did feel a bid like that

No idea about Milwaukee, but Festool is designed to run all day every day never had a problem:) my Milwaukee impact drive gave up after 18 months so fingers x

best? or best deal.

Guess it depends which country you are from. The Festool is cheaper than the Milwaukee in Germany
