Regarding angle grinders, all this speak of variable speeds and the
different control layouts reminded me of my ergonomic objections to
available units. Sometimes a paddle switch seems good, at others a
trigger switch, especially if it enables variable speed. I'm wondering
why nobody has come up with a combination of the two (or has someone?).
I would like to see a grinder with dual configurations. A switch would
enable one or the other. The paddle switch would be hooked into an SCR.
Set your speed, grab the paddle and go. Flip the master switch and
grab the variable speed trigger. When not in use the trigger locks to
serve as a finger rest. Maybe this is too complicated... just another
of my random thoughts.
