AIR REGULATORS
ACCESSORIES
The overall shaper of this grinder is a little different than previous grinders I’ve used. The body is a bit short and a bit fatter. It fits my hand well but might be a bit bulky for small hands. The other difference is the inclusion of a safety on the trigger. I understand why it’s there but takes a little getting used to its presence. After using this for a while I’ll probably not even think about it but I haven’t yet internalized undoing the safety.Overall this seems like a nice tool. It’s heavy built and works exactly as I expect it to work. A good addition to the shop.
I ordered this 90 degree angle air grinder mainly to clean metal parts prior to repair. I really like the tool is powerful, lightweight and compact which really makes a difference when using the grinder for an extended period of time. Another feature that is very convenient is the spindle lock that makes attachment changes quick and simple. The tool has worked as advertised and I have not encountered any issues with design, craftsmanship or performance.
I am use to these die grinders running around 25K RPM, this one is at a claimed 18K, still fast, but if the number is real it is slower, but not hardly noticeable when working. The body is much smaller than other tools like this. I would call it a stubby, if you need a smaller one for tight spots then this one could certainly work.
This is a bare-bones box consisting of the angle die grinder, a tiny spool of teflon tape, a tightening wrench for the collet, a ¼ inch male NPT air coupler and a parts list.This is more bare bones than I anticipated for the price they are asking.There was no complimentary spindle, bits or wheels included or even an instruction manual.I was hoping for pressure ratings, maintenance/lube advice or suggested compressor size etc etc...What you see is what you get.I tried it out to see if my installation of the coupler was air-tight and to see how it runs.Speed is controlled by the hand pressure switch. The more you squeeze, the more air is released and the faster it runs. I've gotta say that the lock release of the switch is not easy to operate with one hand.I attached it to my small compressor - and it ran great...very smoothly indeed, and I couldn't feel any vented air coming from anywhere.It makes one heck of an impressive noise, especially if you open the throttle.I'm going to say though that my compressor ( set at ~90lbs.) might be far too small as it came back on to re-pressurize after only 30 seconds of use.This angle die grinder feels weighty for its size and appears to be sturdily made. Searching on-line for comparisons, this grinder from LE LEMATEC far exceeds others in price.As there was no literature vouching for its quality and durability, it might takes a while to prove that this is a worthy buy.
I really like this little grinder. It came with the adapter that works out of the box with my harbor freight connectors, and it even included the smallest spool of thread tape I have ever seen. I hooked it up to air and it spun up great. Be careful when oiling it, as i was overly generous and created quite the cloud of oil when I spun it back up. It feels good in the hand, and it didn't leak. This is a very useful tool to add to your garage.
