I've been making relocation brackets for my XS650 with a dremel and cutting wheel. It works pretty well with thin gauge metal, but I've burned through 5 cutting wheels.
I don't have a welder, and I'm not working with metal any thicker 1/8". I also don't have a compressor or any air tools.
So it's time for an angle grinder...or a die grinder...or a jig saw?
The brackets I'm making can get pretty detailed with tight radius turns on hard to reach spots. The Dremel's small cutting wheels worked pretty well for this. I've also got a reciprocating saw, but that vibrates so much it wastes more energy shaking than cutting.
I thought about a jig saw, but they don't work on angle iron or tubing.
Should I be looking at a die grinder?
