5" Angle Grinder

[muddstopper]

I think that 9005b is the same 5in ginder I have thrown up under the bench. Switch went bad and never got around to fixing it. May have to drag it out and see what a new switch cost now days. If I remember back when the switch first went out, a new switch was almost as much as a grinder.

Quick search indicates around $20 for the switch, was curious as I have one of these as well. Mine was pieced together from three that I rescued from the trash at work, mixed and matched the serviceable parts. I think that these switches might be serviceable, and could be reworked, especially if you didn't care about keeping the lock on function. I seem to recall having to remove that from some grinders as that was a no-no for industrial applications, at least in Oregon. Or so we were told anyway.
