Ingersoll Rand 3101G Air Die Grinder Edge Series – 1/4", Heavy Duty, Right Angle, Ergonomic Grip, Ball Bearing Construction, Lightweight Tool, Black

Yet another good company that bent over backwards for China and turned out to be unprofitable. When the timer expires after 30 minutes. Despite a light paint stripping operation, the safety latch failed and had to be disabled in order to proceed, Absolute, Zero quality control, shame on I agree, Rand. Kind of looks like a grinding wheel. Not at all!.

You can get it to big down when using 5 pounds of pressure on the sanding pads. It was a scrap piece of junk, keep looking.

For me, Ingersoll is a fan boy at this point. The quality of their air tools is the best I have ever used. EVERY AIR TOOL they sell outperforms every competitor brand. This tool works with any attachment that has a shank that fits its shank. This material is typically used as a surface cleaner with abrasive discs, but some people even use it as a cutoff wheel cleaner. My experience has been with other popular tool trucks angled air tools and they do not have the power this air tool has. When this tool is inflated to 90 psi, it screams. you have ever used an electric dremel on high speed, then you know that it's a lot louder and higher pitched than that, so I recommend wearing If you use abrasive discs and cutoff wheels, you'll get the job done faster and more efficiently. A 2" x 2" piece has been cut A pair of cutoff wheels can take off 3" in 2 minutes. Here are the only two drawbacks You can control the speed and RPM of the wheel. Due to how powerful and fast the machine spins, you'll run out of cutoff wheels and abrasive discs quicker than on As a result of using these abrasive discs I used one to clean six cylinder heads as opposed to other brands that lasted 8 - 10 cycles The cutoff wheels I use every 2nd and third cutoff wheel. Cutting of the exhaust pipe by 5". Speed control was one of the topics I mentioned I am referring to the very stiff pintle you squeeze with your hand when you remove your hand from the air control pintle. No matter how much oil is applied, it is A good inbetween speed is very difficult to achieve. If I spend more than 5 minutes trying to adjust my RPM, I'll ruin it. There are a lot more pros than cons and the 60 cost is much cheaper than most, so I rate it 4/5.

I am dissatisfied with IR for the first time. This is a 5 star review. I have worked in the automotive trade for more than 20 years and this is the first time I have been let down by an internal review. In the meantime, my MAC was being repaired, so I bought this as a backup. Although the tool is fit and finish, there is no speed control to control its speed. Unlike some other models, this one does not have the valve that can be turned or unscrewed to adjust the Here, all that is held together is a plug that holds the trigger spring and ball. Next, there is a design flaw in the trigger. My hand is used to that style of handle, so the flip safety is fine. I am unable to get even half throttle with the trigger because it is so damn stiff! In essence, because the die grinder cannot be controlled with an air volume control and the trigger is too stiff, it is incredibly difficult to run at any speed other than The decision is either to go full speed forward or nothing at all. Except for that, it's not much different from a The price I paid is too high for what I received. is a die grinder that should be priced between $20 and $25 Honestly, the 30s are a good range. My luck may have just run out. RL tools have been great over the years I'm sure that they will be for years to come. In order to test a different model, I'll be returning this one.

Due to my cheapie import grinder not having enough power to maintain a 4" wire brush at full load, I purchased this. Taking care of this task will be no problem with the extra power. collet and chuck arrangement makes it extremely difficult to use. No matter what bit is used, grinding stone, or wire brush, it is impossible to pull out It was inserted in The accessories "stick" in the collet when you insert them by hand. With regard to the chuck/collet and accompanying wrenches on this grinder, I have a cheapo import that easily beats this one. It has turned out to be a very disappointing experience with what I thought was supposed to be a better quality American made tool but actually cost nearly twice as much as my old cheap import.

Then again. An update will follow later. I worked hard for it and found that it works better than expected for the price. You can use this tool but if your airline has water in it then it may lock up after a few weeks. When I found this out, I disassembled the RC plane completely and oiled and greased all the If necessary, make sure you install a water separator, add oil, and run it at the end of each However, it works great and is a very powerful program. It is hard and useful to use this tool every day for a frame off restoration. Now that it's been a year, it's better to go ahead and do it again. As a result, it became In the end, I bought another CP brand which was even cheaper this time but has performed well so far.

First I ordered the IR Edge series, which have a fraction of the price of the Max series. This was important to me because I needed both a straight grinder and an angle grinder. It was a bad decision. There was no way to use the trigger on the straight model. Despite the hard safety latch and the sticky plunger, the safety latch was incredibly easy to operate. Even when only moderately tightened, the collet on the angle model was very difficult to remove. As a matter of fact, the smaller wrench bent after the second attempt. The two grinders were returned, and I ordered a 5102 angle grinder and a 5108 straight grinder It's wonderful to work with them. Triggers and latches are smooth, and safety latches are easy to operate. Tools can be changed easily on the 5102 thanks to its shaft brake. It would be great if they could figure out how to put that feature on the straight-laced Describe the shaft model in your own words. Both of them were used all day yesterday by me at work to blend machined aircraft parts, and they were an absolute pleasure to use.
