I've got a cheap ($20 ??) Campbell Hausfeld die grinder that I bought at
Home Depot.  It's worked great for porting/polishing/deburring.  I've
worn out several carbide burrs with it.  It works fine on low air
pressure.  I've sometimes set the air compressor pressure output real
low to get good control of the grinder speed.  I've had only one problem
with it - sometimes it ices up and stops.  It also gets cold after some
heavy duty grinding.
