Harbor freight grinders are too cheap. Last about 5 minutes each grinding glass...

Yep.
I just replaced my 30 yr old 4" makita grinder thats bearings got sick of fiberglass dust.
And to those that like the lightness of a 4" grinder, they are gone. The stores have all gone to 4 1/2's so they dont have to carry abraisives for the small and large shaft grinders.
I even checked Harbor Freight and they had a 4" but w/the larger arbor.
I just e-bay'd another 4" Makita.
Also agreed on an air hammer w/a chisel in it. Hydrostreams outer skin is very, very thin though so be prepared fore some outer repair.
I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.
I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

Agreed those things are vicious! Beware newbs to this tool, it commands as much respect as fire
I would never have even thought to use one for core removal, mine sits in a drawer and has only been used once, but with the glass and the wood it does make sense that this would eat it up fast.Hydrostream dreamin

And I was going to mention if you're good with a trimming saw, no bar oil.

I used the 16 and 24 grit Zec wheels after using an oscillating tool for transom and core removal on my Eliminator.
I used a 4” Milwaukee, and borrowed a 7” Makita from a buddy. I got my own Menard’s 7”, and killed it. The Makita got recommissioned and is still running.
The 7” covers a lot of area and is controllable, the 4” gets into corners better.
I don’t suggest trimming your nails with either one! They have zero respect for skin or anything else they touch while rotating.
A problem is only a problem when viewed as a problem...

A friend of mine has one of these and it has removed the core in my Vulture and at least 3 of his boat and it still works awesome and makes for getting the job done a lot quicker! And I did eventually buy my own. I used and bought the 4 1/2 inch one. More than worth the money.
