It's the only non-angled grinder they sell at Sears besides the little dremel tools. It cost right around $100.
The most important part about keeping it alive is that variable speed controller that you see to the left. I got that at Harbor Freight for around $12. I run my carbides at a very slow speed. If you run them at high speed they will bend and become very unbalanced and that's what smokes the bearings.
The carbide in the pic is my most aggressive cutter. I have others with a more shallow cut. I use the sanding cartridges you see in the pic to the left of the carbide to do the finishing.
