A great buy, well satisified!

I upgraded my old 6 inch Delta bench grinder to this big guy back in 2012 (if I recall correctly). Regardless, I know its been at least 10 years and its still going strong. The 3/4 HP motor turns the stones/wire wheels just as well as it did when new. I'll also say the added adjustable light is a wonderful option, especially so when fine grinding bits or blades. I believe I'm on my 4th light bulb.
Chock this up as another terrific and well built Mastercraft tool, never an issue nor a vibration.
5 stars!
Yes, I recommend this product.
