Like this.

Anyone use one? I have an application where I think this would work better than a 7" angle grinder.

Anyone have one (no less than 6") that they want to get rid of? I'm in need of one pretty quick.

I think that's the first I've even seen one. I could see it being handy in places.

I use a narrow neck grinder for porting, torquey but its nice however it wears down the muscles in your hands. I would buy the one you posted though, it should cut fairly well for you.

Use big pnuematic ones at work. You really have to apply pressure to make anything happen, no matter the grit of the stone.

the fabricators on our rig (welders) use them

Started using one of these tonight. Bought a used one off ebay. Pretty pleased with it so far. Compared to a angle grinder it's much more comfortable to hang on to in the position I'm working.
