I like to use a 4 1/2 grinder with a wire brush to clean metal with. Usually there are pits in the metal that a sander doesn't get to. Over time I've worn out cheaper grinders so this last time I went with a Milwaukee. As with the others, the head on this grinder slings the internal grease every place but where it's needed. If I add more grease, it oozes out around the shaft, then slings on the metal I'm going to paint. The head on this grinder heats up and gets so hot you can't touch it. The grease I'm using is a hi- temp bearing and it's not doing the job. The first time I took this head apart the factory grease was really thick but it had slung to the side and the gears were dry. Anyone know a solution to this?
