PALMGREN 8" 3/4HP 115/230V Bench Grinder with Dust Collection System - Heavy Duty Metal Grinding & Sharpening Tool for Workshop, Garage, and DIY Projects
I wanted to love this, maybe I had too high hopes?To begin with, the dust collection is a joke. The way the wheel covers are mounted they don't come forward enough below the tool rest, so most of the grinding dust goes straight down in front of the machine. If I were keeping it, I would have had to build some sort of mechanism to angle all the debris, back towards the grinding wheels.It vibrates like crazy out of the box.I was going to fix all those things, but where I decided I was going to return was when I mounted a 6 in brush on, which should require less power. And upon putting something in the brush the motor slowed way down and almost stalled. On top of that after using it for just a day, the tool rest had fairly large divots in them. They're made out of something very soft. Too many things to fix for this to be worth it.
