What if I use a power drill with a grinder attachment? Would that work better than this? Would the grinder last longer than the rollers?

I'm sure that it would! They say it has so much power, but it will stop during use.

You sound like you don't like your Emjoi Micro-Pedi. I have exceptionally dry heels and mine works like a charm without causing cuts or pain! I use about 3 times/wk. I would assume that a power drill with a grinder attachment would cause a lot of pain and bleeding? I am sure you mean the question as a joke! If the roller that comes with the product wears out too fast you may need to purchase a more course roller. I find that mine has lasted a long time and have just now changed rollers. The pack of 6 refill rollers is reasonable. This product is safer that using a razor to scrape dry skin off your heels and feels like I have had a pedicure in a salon.

You could but I assume the power drill has more torque and rpm so most likely do more damage than any benefit

oh that's funny. This unit works really good unless your calluses have morphed into a stone age - Fred Flintstone kinda thing, then I'd definitely go with the grinder

Oh another option is a battery powered angle grinder with cutting disk. Also this device is cheap enough that I simply purchased a case to put it in. Hope this helps

I have been using a right angle grinder (4-5") with a metal grinding blade. You hold the blade down in vise and put an edge on the blade with the grinder. Need to be careful to remove equal amounts on each side to keep it in balance like a lawn mower blade or you will ruin the motor by causing an imbalance.

Oh, yes. It is built very well and would handle a belt sander. Not sure about a grinder.

Some of the larger bits in this set may be used carefully in a handheld power drill, but certainly the tinier ones will snap off instantly. A drill press (or milling machine) is the best bet for getting the most out of the entire set. Also, screws are hardened steel and are very hard to drill through. I fear the combination of handheld drill along with the hardness of the target will lead to poor results. Look to "screw extractors" for a better system.

Neither. You likely want a "polisher" and not a grinder. Polishers are slower and variable speed. Harbor freight has one for about $30 that will work perfectly for occasional use.

I would recommend the 4 1/2" Dewalt D28112 with dust shroud, the cutting and grinding wheels are less expensive and you can get closer into the corners, both have duty cycles so you have to watch the temp on the grinder. (just feel the housing) for the cost the manufacturing warranty is all you need it will cost you more for and extended warranty the to just replace it. Good Luck

Its a manual grinder, therefore it would obviously depend on how fast you crank the handle.

yea buy a six inch angle grinder 30$-200 and buy some cut off wheals (they are the thin ones 1/8 maybe or less look them up they are great but gone need a pack of them if you got a lot of cutting , or Sawzall 100$with proper blades for soft metal , a portable band saw 400$ +/-50 Milwaukee makes a great one in my opinion plus is you can cut any thing with it and blades last a long time if you good to them

It's a die grinder. Not made for that. Use a drill with a rotary wire brush. Use a slow speed buffer for buffing with a 5 to 7 inch pad. However, if you have those small rotary buffs from Eastwood - the kind you might buff a wheel or aluminum manifold with, it would be suitable.

The type of grinder should not matter. The grinder dust shield is the key. The standard hose supplied with the vacuum has an inside inch and a half diameter. This fits the Makita dust shield and maybe some of the 3rd party models. The fleece bag works best for concrete as the plastic liner style gets the inside a little messy. Good vacuum for concrete dust.

It's not worth the risk, grinders are cheap. This polisher is very powerful and can do some serious damage if not used for its intended purpose.

I've used this grinder to cut 1/2 in Hardiebacker when doing bathroom remodels. I use a cutoff/wafer wheel which isn't ideal for this use but it works. In my opinion it had adequate power but the fully charged battery lasted roughly 20 mins of almost continuous use (I cut about 4 sheets for a tub surround). So, to answer your question, I know it will cut concrete with a diamond wheel, but if I needed to use it continuously for an extended period of time I'd go with something corded which is the case with most battery powered saws/grinders. I hope this helps.

You can buy cheap attachments for an electric drill. I recommend that instead. MJ

I purchased this attachment for that purpose, and I DON'T RECOMMEND IT! We are a family of Celic Disease sufferers, so in order to cut costs on grains/flours, I buy many items in bulk and grind them. This thing will NOT work for that. Nor will it work for nuts. The grain/nut paste gets caught in the grinder and cannot push it through the faceplate quickly enough. It ends up pushing the plastic ring casing off its mount and can even snap it. I worried it was also going to burn out the motor. It's really just a disaster.If you are interested in grinding those items, I REALLY recommend investing in a good burr grinder. I have had the best luck with them in grinding grain.

The grinder comes "set" and you have to loosen it a bit (read in a posting when I was buying it) to even use it. You should be able to set it super fine and may want to grind it twice. I'm still happy with it.

This has a threaded 5/8" arbor for a hand grinder. You will need a large 3/4" drill and an 5/8 arbor. I wouldn't recommend it.
