What Customers Are Saying

The product is a well-regarded power tool that offers good value. Many customers praise its power, durability, and ease of use, with several noting it has enough power for their needs. However, some customers have experienced issues with the on/off switch, which can be tricky to operate and may fail over time. A few also mentioned excessive vibration when used with grinding wheels, though this is less of a problem with cutting wheels. Overall, the consensus is that the product is a solid, affordable option that performs well for most common grinding and cutting tasks.

I purchased this to use in our shop at work thinking since we don't use it a lot so it would probably do the job. So far the grinder itself is holding up but the VERY CHEAPLY MADE tool for removing the wheels leaves a lot to be desired. I waste more time trying to remove used wheels than the grinder is worth. This is even worse if using cutoff wheels rather then grinder wheels. Occasionally when cutting steel a wheel will get in a bind and if this happens it naturally tightens and the tool (for ...

burned up smoking

Would Not Recommend

Bought this about four years ago but in reality I’ve probably used it about 6 times max and not for hours on end. In the past it did what I needed it to do. Would only cut pieces of metal and run the tool for now longer than 10 minutes at a time. For how minimal i used it I figured it would last at least five more years. After using it to grind up a garage epoxy floor, in the first 5 minutes of use, it burned up, started smoking, and lost power to the blade. I set it outside for about 5 hours an...

Seems really good so far, good value

Would Recommend

So far so good. I’ve put it through it’s paces and it’s working great. I’ve mostly used it with cutting wheels, but I’ve done some grinding too. A major reason I chose this model is that it has a trigger vs. a switch. After using it a few times I realized it doesn’t really matter much because I just lock it in the on position anyway so I’m not really messing with the power switch.

Best grinder I've found

Would Recommend

I own a bunch of grinders that I use for hobby metalwork. I mostly use this for flap discs, silicone-carbide abrasive discs, and grinding discs. For cutting, I prefer a bandsaw, and for wire cups I prefer my big 7-inch grinder. This is by far my favorite for most tasks. It's as powerful as you want from a 4.5" grinder, and it has great ergonomics. The trigger is much nicer to use than large paddle switches or those awful side-mounted side switches that invariably stop latching and turn the...

porter cable grinder

Would Recommend

I needed a grinder but nothing heavy duty. since I don't do any heavy duty grinding I did need something for an occasional meal cutting or flattening and this has worked out great. has enough power for my needs.

I used it for 15 minutes and the switch is stuck. It is nearly impossible to turn on. I am returning it.
