First off I am surprised how quiet it runs. It also seems pretty well balanced, there is a little vibration when it just starting up and shutting down, but at operating speeds it’s really smooth. If you are not going to be sharpening chisels, planes, turning gouges for fine woodworking or sharpening kitchen knives and the like you will need to dress the wheels and probably get something fine and less aggressive. For general grinding like sharpening lawn mower blades, and deburring rough cut metal it works fine out of the box.Setup is simple. Attach the guards and fasten it down to worksurface. The tool rests are adjustable for the diameter of the wheel, but you can’t angle them to make putting on a consistent bevel. The LED lights are nice that they are easily adjustable but they don’t put out much light and need to be really close the wheel to be of much use. It’s better than not having lights but I could be better.

Love it . High quality but don’t get the wire wheel they say that people have purchased with it because it doesn’t fit.

Dont let the price scare you away. This item is very nice as I also own the General drill press and it hasnt failed me yet. This bench grinder was no exception. It comes with clamps as well to clamp it to your table.I would consider this a light to medium duty bench grinder. Probably cant take a beating, but for the price it looks to probably last a good five years of solid use. If you use these infrequent, it would last longer. Recommended.

Get hot real fast and the roughest stone is wearing down faster than I expected. That being said, it runs super quiet until you start working it and the lights work perfectly

The drill works well .. for my purposes I did not need to hard mount it as the weight of grinder keeps it in place. The only con thing I will say is that the lights are basically worthless as the produce little light.

Very pleased so far with this bench grinder. The adjustable lights are helpful. Have already bought a wire brush wheel. A lot of features for the price.

It should be told where this grinder is made. It sounds American, but is made in CHINA.
