Motor Died
Would Not RecommendMotor died after using it to clean some bolts. Unplugged and plugged back in and now the motor has a run away where it will shake itself apart if not stopped.
Great Product
Would RecommendThis is a great little grinder. The bench grinder I had in the past wasn't as good as this one. The only thing I don't like is that the metal tables it comes with are both different which is annoying. Other than that, it's a quiet grinder and it does an excellent job.
Grinding wheels and brushes are cheaper than 8 in
Would RecommendLike this size grinder, for power and cheaper wheels

Nice features, but mine came with a wobbly stone
Would Not RecommendInexpensive, and the LEDs are nice, but one side wobbles something fierce. Had to buy a new stone before I could really use it.

Junk
Would Not RecommendThis bench grinder has a terrible vibration, in fact I would say this dangerous to use, could be that it needs to grinding stones. I bolt to a work bench and I shook every loose thing off the work bench. Buy the time I turn it off I thought it would end up threw the ceiling.
Porter Cable Bench Grinder
Would RecommendProduct was easy to assemble, the guards make it safe to use and the light comes in handy when working with smaller items, the price was right and I would definitely recommend it to others, I have always liked Porter Cable products and this is no exception.
