It's ok if complete .. 3 stars for now
8 years ago
Bought one online, in clearance, with pick-up, what I got is an incomplete display unit. It was not advertised as such.
The right grinder wheel cover is missing two fixing screws.
I removed the top wheel covers and used those screws instead.
The shield with the magnifier is missing. The one without magnifier is broken. The little plastic tray is also broken where it hangs on the unit.
Powered it up for some time, the motor and the bearings are good (no squeaky sounds) balanced well enough.
Definitely, all issues are not with the manufacturer. Avoid display units with small or moving parts.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I'm following up on a broken switch issue. I was able to epoxy the switch back together then found inside where the pins slide along the prongs were very dry. I applied a little grease and reassembled. It now turns off and on even BETTER than when I first purchased it. It's a tough little grinder except for this cheap plastic switch but it can be repaired if that's your thing.
No, I do not recommend this product.

just a few years use
9 years ago
Used for light, occassional hobby work in my garage. Happy with performance until the other day I went to turn it on and the on/off switch snapped! I'm the only one that uses it and am always careful with my tools. I haven't the foggiest what caused it but not the entire machine is virtually useless. Many older bench grinders last a lifetime. Guess I can take it apart and hard wire a new switch. Very disappointed in the life expectancy but it did serve me well. Won't buy another because of this.
No, I do not recommend this product.

C'est un outils qui nous est très utiles dans le peu d'utilisation
Bought and assembled unit. plugged in and turned on but motor just makes a buzzing sound. Wheels won't rotate. I managed to get it working once to sharpen an axe. Now it doesn't work at all. Time to pack it up and return it.
