Proxxon mini angle grinder versus Merlin 2

Proxxon mini angle grinder versus Merlin 2. I am not getting paid for this review but thought my viewers may be interested in my experience with these 2 mini grinders. The Proton vs the Merlin 2.

I looked at these two units at a woodworking store this morning. I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger before doing more research. Thanks for the heads up.

Hi there. I use a torch to burn the gunk out of my proxxon wheels. I just use a small handheld butane torch. I don't let it get too hot, I keep burning it and then finally I use a brass brush and it comes loose. I heard somewhere to use the brass brush because the steel will damage the wheel. Not sure. Thank you for the videos!

[@I-build-crafts]

Good advice thanks for commenting

[@MrFryfish]

Hello, may I ask you a question about dimension, actually the clearance for shoulder of the cap that holds a disc (cutting disc surface) from that sholder to the surface of the disc (that is 1mm)?
I need such tool to cut metal but space where I need to cut is quite narrow..
Thank you.

[@I-build-crafts]

Hmmmm, between 3/8" and half " I believe . A dremel tool may be a better option

[@MrFryfish]

​@@I-build-craftsThank you for your answer!❤

[@sukrusenemoglu]

Hello
It was a useful video, thank you. I use Proxxon for porcelain finishing work. Would you recommend Merlin 2? Proxxon heats up in 15 minutes and I need to take a break. I wanted to ask since you use both.
thanks

[@I-build-crafts]

I don't recommend the Merlin2. They have a new model so maybe it is better. I don't know

[@rodenreyes6320]

Should have a back-up grinder, or ready-to-use other one with different disc. I have 5 grinders fitted with 5 different discs.

[@I-build-crafts]

@@sukrusenemoglu hmmm Merlin 2 was always breaking down. I've had no trouble with the Proxxon
