That "style" of grinder typically is for sanding discs and that type of abrasive... High RPM, low torque. He one above from HF is very durable and I've put mine through hell and back doing exactly what you want to do.

A Dremel style too will frustrate you quite a bit for your type of work. Look into longer bits to help et into smaller spaces.

Same here, I have the HF one and have abused the crap out of it for the last few years. It probably get a good 5-6 hours of use each week. The best thing I got for it was the HF router speed control. Slowing it down a bit for stainless helps out a ton.
