What a bummer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. One of the first tools I ever bought. My Makita Mdl 9005B grinder bit the dust. It was over 20 years old 
The funny thing was it was running but there was no way I could get the wire disk off without buggering up some bearings and the parts are expensive. B.E.R Rest in Peace Makita Mdl 9005B

You should buy all your tools at Harbor Freight. That way you can get a new one every few weeks to replace the one that broke. See, I have none of that old stuff laying about!!!!!!

New. I have alot in my Paypal account so no problem. I had it 20 years and ran great ! I think I'll get another and 20 years out of it . It was kind of like losing a old friend. My payapl has bailed me out alot and helped pay for all my tools. I really love it. My basement looks like I never left the airlines. It's hard to work without good tools. For example, I'm changing the tile in the bathroom. I have 2 cheap harbor freight air hammers and they don't work very good compaired to my Ingersoll-Rand stuff. How's your project going? Making any progress on the T-6?

Sorry to change lanes here, but we have a trip this month to Hartford and wondered if there are any warbirds to see? We'll be there for the day, maybe a overnight....
Thanks,
