Yeah i used a Laminate Trimmer as a Die grinder for all my bar work. (1/4" shank is the same size as a die grinder and takes a die grinder bit) worked pretty well as it is variable speed and i set it to 14,000rpm as per a die grinder. worked well.

BUT. 12 months ago i came across a second hand 18v makita die grinder along with a few other items and grabbed it. Man o Man!! It is a whole other level. I must say now that i dont use it much but when i need it Nothing does it like it. No Brainer. i should have grabbed one 10 years ago. 18v or 240v they are cheaper than a dremel and are next level. a Dremel is a toy and good for engraving maybe but any real stock removal and the die grinder is a Beast.

The dremel works fine for the small things, they have their place, they are brilliant for the small things and mods I've done. I've never had the need for a die grinder, but will for the bar mods coming up, so I will be grabbing a 18V Milwaukee unit.
