Cordless die grinder feedback DCG426 - Dewalt - Power Tool Forum – Tools in Action
December 8, 2018 - Looking at getting a cordless die grinder tomorrow. Has anyone used the dewalt? It seems to have the most features. Metabo looks good but isn't variable speed, milwaukee has some bad reviews and is 5000rpm slower than dewalt. I use a corded metabo atm and the biggest question I have is if the 18v...

Quality Burr Bit for die grinder ? | WeldingWeb - Welding Community for pros and enthusiasts
Best for the money i found for my applications. I got one i bought at a surplus store years ago for 6 bucks. I cant seem to crack it if i tried. No name on it, wish i knew what it was, its shaped like sphere. Anyway, if your talking the 150$ dewalt elect grinder w/ a paddle, that is an excellent grinder.

r/Tools on Reddit: Cordless die grinder suggestions? (It has to be a Dewalt tho)
January 6, 2023 -

Ok, today is the last day I'm using my drill as a die grinder, tomorrow I'm gonna buy something from home depot that specifically for that purpose.

I don't want to even dip my toe into having multiple battery brands, I'd be homeless in a month if I so much as sniff a makita or milwaukee battery.

It looks like Dremel has some cordless options, but I'm worried about their power and longevity, all I'm gonna use it for is for chewing through metal, I wont use it too often but I want something that can turn some pretty hard metal into oatmeal if I need it to

TL:DR: What would a comparable dremel brand (or other rechargeable) die grinder be, compared to this one?

EDIT: UPDATE: thanks for all the comments yall I learned a lot! Today I bought a couple different rotary bits, I'm just gonna stick em in my drill and see how that feels. I got a "flap wheel" and a little carbide drum, I think they're both 1/8 though, didn't realize there were two sizes! And then when the 2500 rpm drill inevitably unsatisfactory, I'm gonna buy the dewalt because I'm a shameless brand whore

I don't think Dremel has anything similar. All of their tools max out at 1/8" shanks and are designed for small detail work. The Dewalt is 1/4". It's the one you want for the bulk removal of material. Outside of Milwaukee or Makita, the only other I can think of is Proxxon - https://www.proxxon.com/en/micromot/29860.php It's 12V (they still list as 10.8) though. And the battery system is just going to take you into their somewhat strange (but cool) line of tools.

Ok, I used to use Die grinders every day for work. We are talking at least 4-5 hours of usage a day. I can tell you a few things. At home I have a plug in dremel tool. It mounts 1/8 tools and works great. At work it wouldn’t last a week. The dewalt tool looks really nice and would probably last longer. But ergonomically it looks horrible and it’s heavy. At work we had three types of die grinders. Each with their own advantages, disadvantages, and usages. For light duty high precision work we used air pencils: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Astro-Pneumatic-1-8-in-56-000RPM-Pencil-Die-Grinder-AST218/300683196 They are light and cheap but will stall with any real pressure. For medium duty long term use we used motorized flex shaft grinders: https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/65488801 They will run all day long and are practically silent but will not cut deep. For the real cutting air is the way to go but don’t go cheap. This wicked piece of equipment will remove crazy amounts of material and hold up for decades: https://www.intlairtool.com/dynabrade-52663-straight-line-die-grinder-1-hp-motor/ Yes it is expensive but my god it removes material, just hang on tight. I should mention I had a much older all black version of this grinder. As far as I know, 20 years later it still sees daily use. That said I don’t know if QC is still at that level. But as I said, at home I have a plug in dremel that does just fine for occasional cuts, light debur work, and some sanding.

DEWALT 20V Die Grinder DCG426B wobble issue | The Garage Journal
August 18, 2022 - I purchased a DEWALT 20V Die Grinder (DCG426B). Upon putting a carbide in it and using it, I noticed that it was bouncing off the metal quite a bit. I tested the same bit in my pneumatic die grinder, no wobble/issues. Tried this with a couple other bits, same results. Playing around with the...
