Default Can I use an angle grinder, lol?
I've got a Dewalt 4-1/2" Angle Grinder. 7.5 Amp, 10,000 rpm. Here's a link. Might be a stupid question but I was looking at the Porter Cable and it looks just like an angle grinder. I can take the metal shield off but what would I have to buy to make it work? Thanks

he wants to use an angle grinder with a pad on it for polishing, instead of a porter cable..

Ohh hell nah man. I'm sure if you hit the trigger that grinder would sling that pad off so fast. 10,000rpm... not a good idea bro.

It would give you a chance to repaint your car.
