NEIKO 10649A Micro Air Die Grinder | 1/8" (3mm) Capacity | Pencil Type | 54,000 RPM | for Cleaning Dies, Rotors, Backing Plates, Brake Pads, Mounts, Etc.

This is identical to the Astro which costs more. Made in Taiwan. Works very well so far. Smooth and speed control is very good. The other reviews of the Astro lead me to believe it will last a long time. Excellent product for the money. With good Burrs it trims metal with great control. Much more versatile than a Dremel.

... An EXCELLENT little tool .... to be used carefully .... very lightweight ... particularly good for very light/delicate polishing and or modelling work ... very well made ... but be careful its not abused ... I use it for work that the 'Dremel' is too brutal for ... I am VERY happy with it.

I picked up the NEIKO 10649A Micro Air Die Grinder (1/8" capacity, 54,000 RPM) for fine deburring and cleanup work in the shop, and it’s quickly become one of those tools you wonder how you worked without. What I like: Slim pencil design — super easy to control for precise work Runs very smooth at speed — minimal vibration, even at 50k+ RPM Perfect for carbide burrs and small abrasive tools Lightweight and comfortable for longer use Great power for its size — it doesn’t bog down on light metal work I’ve used it for cleaning up edges, removing tiny burrs, smoothing pockets, and general detail work where a full-size die grinder would be overkill. As long as your air system is clean and regulated, this thing runs beautifully. Shop tip: Use a fine-mist oiler and keep your air dry — these high-speed pencil grinders like clean lubrication. If you need a precision air grinder for delicate cleanup, polishing, or light detail machining, this one is a great value for the money. I’d definitely buy it again.

all good
