modifying a cordless angle grinder for a spinner?
as i was cutting my panels today for my new bot i was thinking if they had a cordless version of angle grinders. as i got looking i noticed an 18v one for 31 quid that about 5000 rpm and i wondered why dont more people use these for spinners?
im sure there is a perfectly logical reason for it but i really cant think for myself why?
can someone please clear this up for me?
