3.0 out of 5 stars Delta 23-730 Grinder with Stand, September 25, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: DELTA 23-730 8-Inch Industrial Grinder with Stand (Tools & Home Improvement)
I purchased a grinder primarily to sharpen mower blades, hand tools and other odds and ends. Undoubtedly this is a bigger grinder than required to do these jobs but I wanted something that would last and could still be useful for unforseen grinding purposes.

Overall the grinder is nice. It appears to be of solid construction, it is quite and runs smoothly. I was disappointed on a few items;
1) The delivery took longer than the 2 to 3 weeks.
2) The unit arrives in two seperate boxes. The box the grinder was in was full of holes and crushed corners. I would guess this was due to the fact that the grinder is heavy and can be cumbersome to carry around and was probably dropped. Fortunatly the grinder appears to be fine.
3) There was too much grease on the pedestal and it made a big mess. I know this is done to reduce rust, but it is a mess.
4) The pedestal comes with rubber feet, but the hardware they provide was not sufficient to extend the rubber feet past the bottom of the metal pedastal feet. Therefore the rubber feet did not touch the ground. I had to make my own spacers to extend the rubber feet to a height that they would work.
5) The tool holder,that comes with the stand has holes with rubber gromets to hold the tools. With the rubber gromets in place, the tools do not fit in the holes.
6) On the grinder, the tool rest provided does not seem to be as adjustable as I would like nor robust to ensure that the workpiece will be held at the appropriate angle to the wheel.

Overall I am sure this grinder will adequately meet my needs. As an Industrial grade tool, I am not so sure.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bronze Worker, April 30, 2004

This review is from: DELTA 23-730 8-Inch Industrial Grinder with Stand (Tools & Home Improvement)
I purchased this even with some marginal reviews because of the Delta name. I owned Delta woodworking equipment in the past and found it to be of good quality. However this product is a major disappointment. It arrived with the stem of the light switch broken, and the wheel attachment nut rubbing on the housing. I have to completely disassemble it to correct the problem. I guess that's the quality of "Made in China". After using it for a month the on/off switch jams. I called and wrote Delta for some replacement parts. So far no reply. It seems that they are improving shareholder value at the cost of customers. No more Delta iron for me.
