I'm in the market to get a new 6" or 8" bench or pedestal grinder. |
I ordered a 10 inch HF grinder from their web site as they don't stock larger than 8 inch. It was BO for a while but I eventually got it. It is a lot of grinder for the $. You can overload any bench grinder and this one is no exception but it is not particularly underpowered compared to other grinders of my experience. I mounted it to a piece of scrap steel welded atop a pipe set in concrete that I poured inside a used rim from an 18 wheeler. it is pretty stable but can be tipped on edge and rolled to wherever you want it.
The grinding wheels seem to be pretty good material, not as soft or easy to grove as my smaller (not HF) grinder.
