Oh yeah, I use my Milwaukee cordless grinder WAY more often than I do any corded one I have.
Yeah I can definitely see why now. I'd like the 60V one for a little more power than the 20V one has.

The 60v ones are so nice. I have two at work. That reminds me, I need to go buy another grinder today for my welding class this semester.
I'm so tempted but I'm tapped out for this month lol

How much are the 60v batteries? I bet they are spendy.

I have an older non-fuel Milwaukee grinder and I love it. I’d like to get a new Fuel version along with a 3/8’s impact.

You might already have them; have you checked all the tool drawers around your garage?

Can't remember if I posted this guy the other day. I have used this thing even more than I thought I would. Seriously contemplating picking up the 60V grinder now as well...

My M18 fuel grinder by far is my most used power tool. It gets used 10x more than my corded grinders.

Finally got to use my Plasma cutter with my new 80 gallon air compressor and the new dedicated 220V line I ran for it. It cuts like butter. It cut so much faster that I wasn't ready for it and almost messed up lol

I got an Amazon gift card so I used it to order one of these guys.

I used to use these to spray LPS on welding tables in a turbine/machine shop I worked at to keep em from rusting (million dollar, perfectly flat tables). I couldn't find em until I watched a Youtube video where a guy got one on sale and showed the brand name. My plan is to go buy a 5-gallon bucket of brake cleaner to use in this guy. I can't recommend these enough as they are an awesome tool. They can put out a fine mist or a stream depending on how you have the nozzle set up.

Which plasma did you go with?
The small carry-size Miller Spectra 375 (or an older model). I found it used at a pawn shop for a good price.
For what you do, you probably need a more capable plasma cutter.

I have the hypertherm powermax 30 air with the compressor built in. Cuts up to 1/4 good and will roughly cut 3/8-1/2

Any plasma is a good plasma. Incredibly handy tool to have.

I love my Hypertherm as well. Don't use it nearly enough though.

Yeah hypertherm makes a damn good plasma cutter. Probably better than the Miller... I just found this one used for a good deal complete with the hard case & accessories.

The machine shop I worked at had all Miller welding and plasma equipment. Those were used for 12 hours a day, seven days a week and I never remember any of them having problems so I tend to favor Miller products for that reason.

I like Miller's electric machines. But we can't keep our engine driven Millers at work running more than a day at a time. Biggest pieces of junk I've used. I'll take a Lincoln all day long when it comes to engine drive welders.

Good to know.

I love my Miller Multimatic 215. Dad has an old 210 that can allow anyone to make beautiful beads.
