depends on the bit, smaller diameters need High rpm to get the ideal SFM. Drill bearings not designed for extended use at high side loads. For extended use , it's much more ergonomic to be able to grip the handle as near as possible to the bit. (no long chuck). But yeah for occasional use drill may be fine.
Ok a few things: The drill has smaller bearings and is designed for a vertical load. The die grinder has larger bearings and is designed for a horizontal load. The drill will burn up much quicker trying to use it as a die grinder. Pneumatic die grinders are both cheaper and FAR better than their electric counterparts.
I guess I will have to Google those terms. I used the drill with no overheating problems. Plus, I have a drill or two to spare. For my purposes, the die grinder just doesn't make sense, so I'm taking it back.

@@mattmgarza Most people have no use for a die grinder and occasionally using a drill instead is fine. I have four different die grinders.
