Tungsten Carbide rotary Burrs

remember to oil that die grinder;)

Smaller die grinders work well for home use. I've got one similar to this:
Puma Angle Die Grinder. #PAT7034

No problems running it on my 12CFM compressor.
The one in the link has average consumption of 5CFM.

The 90* head on cheap ones fail with hard use (mines an US Dotco brand and is OK), but the straight ones are pretty robust. You can pick up cheap chinese ones that are great for occasional use for about $30.

IMO if you've already got a compressor its a much better option than running them in a hand drill.

This can't happen with the ones I sell. Mine are solid tungsten carbide.
