A very good grinder
As with all Wilton products, I found this grinder to be of excellent quality. It runs smooth. Because of the mass of the motor's rotor it takes a few seconds to spin up.

No flatness on the base makes quick clamping the machine hard, so you have to bolt it somewhere which isn't practical in a small shop.
