5.0 out of 5 stars Great value and Product, November 5, 2006

By	Dr. D (Finger Lakes, NY USA) - See all my reviews

First, the product title provided by Amazon is incorrect - it is a 7.7 amp grinder. As such, it is very capably powered and well constructed. Good heft and feel - iron tool rests (not stamped steel) stone dresser, and best of all, a powerful, smooth-running motor that spins all day without overheating or vibration issues. I purchsed this machine as an economical alternative to a Baldor buffing machine and even with the additional cost of shaft extenders it is less than one third the cost of a comparably powered Baldor. Time will tell how durable it is but I have already put many hours of use on it and it has performed flawlessly. I have it on a rolling cart in my garage and it is not permanently mounted- yet it stays put through hours of operation due to its weight and vibration-free motor. I did a lot of research before purchasing this unit and nothing else can come close for quality and price. A great power tool that shows tremendous attention to external detail. I suspect the same quality applies to the motor as well and expect it to probably be the last buffer I will ever buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bargain of the Year!, June 20, 2006

By	Sawdust (Ohio) - See all my reviews

This grinder is everything the previous reviewer mentioned. I ditto everything he said. This is the bargain of the year as far as I am concerned! What a great price. Only one small complaint and that is that the little bulb doesn't put much light on your work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grind Ambition!, December 26, 2006

By	J. Nowicki "The Boss and Mrs. B." (Bay City, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Wilton 17202 6 Amp 8-Inch Bench Grinder is one mighty fine machine. Does the job and does it well. I couldn't have picked a better table to attache this great grinder to than the HTC HGP-10 Bench Grinder Stand. Simply put - if you have an ax to grind, or anything else for that matter, this will definitely take care of it! ~ The Boss
