What Customers Are Saying

The product appears to have mixed reviews. Positives include being a good value with features like LED lights and easy assembly. It was described as quiet and powerful enough for light-duty use, suitable for sharpening household tools. However, there were significant drawbacks reported, such as poor quality, excessive vibration, overheating issues, and non-adjustable tool rests. Some customers even returned the product due to these problems.

Awesome & excellent price. No wire wheel adapter.

Would Recommend

Love the grinder. It's an excellent size and is working for everything I purchased it for. It's quiet, the lights actually illuminate the work area, and it's pretty quick & easy to change out the wheels. The only issue I have with this grinder (and the ONLY reason it didn't get 5 stars) is that wire wheels require a little bit of finagling to get them to fit and there wasn't any type of adapter, so I had to get creative.

I was hesitant because of the negative reviews. Everything was in the box and fit. There’s a slight wobble at start up but goes away when it reaches operating speed. Works great for what it’s designed for.

No HP or amp rating

Would Not Recommend

You didn't have the brains or honesty to give the Horsepower or AMP rating. It looks rugged in the picture, but trust me, it isn't!

Patience is Key!

Would Recommend

The mounting holes on the outer sides of the wheels are inaccessible for mounting to a table top. I use old surgical cabinets and had to push the bolts from inside the drawer try and secure the lock washer b/t the grinder wheel and the motor. The grinder should have had four corner holes instead of the 2 available holes. This was a pain in the butt to mount the grinder. Very poor thought in this. Recommend reconfiguring the mounting holes to the four corners.
