    Default 9" Grinder ID

    I am trying to identify the brand of this angle grinder - it has a maker's tag on the side but is too worn to read - it is super heavy duty and double insulated.

    The rounded gear housing is unusual - I've not seen one like this before.

    Any thoughts?

    An update for anyone interested - I believe this now to be a Bergin brand grinder - made in Heidelberg Germany I believe. Super heavy duty in any case.
