Any feedback from someone who has this grinder? It’s variable speed and I would put CBN wheels on it.
Thank you I will take a look at the package deal. Masterforce, I do have an impact drill that has held up through a lot of building. I think part of the waiver is as well if I even need variable speed.I don't have personal experience with that grinder, and I haven't bought much else that was labeled Masterforce. Masterforce is the house brand for Menard's, and maybe just me being a snob, but I don't see it as a top tier brand. I could be wrong.
Would you be saving much money over a Rikon or other better known maker? If not, I don't think variable speed is a particularly valuable feature. Since you mentioned that you're interested in a CBN wheel you might want to compare to the cost of a grinder & CBN package, e.g. from Woodturner's Wonders.
Although a grinder is a pretty simple machine, keep in mind that the shafts and the wheels need to run true, which is frequently not the case out of the box. One of the advantages of a package deal is that everything should be true.
Hi,Looks to be the same as a lot of the grinders made for different labels. I have a large Jet Variable Speed and I like that feature. I like a grinder that comes up to speed right away. I formerly had a pretty expensive Dayton that took a long time to get up. I sold it. If you can try it out in the store that would be good.
I’ll check it in the morningHi,
How are you liking your grinder? I’ve been thinking about getting the same unit. Do you know if 1.5” cbn wheels will fit?
Thanks,
James
Yes, they are well made too.Thanks, I ordered it today from Zoro, with one of their 15% off coupons.
Did you need to use one of D-Ways counter bored bushings?
