Grinder appears to work well but was shipped with some cosmetic flaws. Right hand guard screw holes were not tapped correctly so guard did not fit. Had to call company for a replacement.

Built like a tank!

Need to buy 1/2" and 5/8" arbor bushings and 120-grit grinder wheel. Only available from manufacturer's web sight.

HP is everything when it comes to grinding

Already saved about $54 by sharpening my lawn mower blades myself. This unit replaces a cheap 6 in grinder which cannot meet the grade.

Quiet and powerful bench grinder

While there are a lot of new ways to grind metal [ angle grinder, belt sander grinder, belt sanders ] sometimesa standard bench grinder is the best. This one, with an 8'' wheel is quiet and powerful enough to get the job done.[could use a work light]
