I use the cheap silverline ones from tool station, ive got through 3 of them now but at 20 quid each its still less than a posh one and the kind of use they get restoring a mini im sure even the posh ones wouldnt hold up that well! so i would deffinatley reccomend getting a nice affordable one!

Just make sure the gears are metal not plastic.

Bosch & Makita 4 1/2 inch with 14mm boss
been using them 12 years now - both going strong (touching wood)
as above - plastic crown wheel won't last long on the cheap ones
the knot wheels are great , but wear all the ppe - their vicious

The smaller the better I reckon, you can't grind it if you can't get to it. If you get a 4 inch grinder with a M10 shaft you can always use a M14 adapter to fit brushes etc - the extra hand clearance is a bonus too.

I also use makita for my electric one- and would recommend them for value and they last for ever!
Take a look on this place- I T S they are a great company - I buy all my gear from them!
Out of interest what was your Milwaukee one like- always liked the look of their tools- but seem a bit pricey??!!
