 Some good, some kind of missing the boat September 5, 2008

It seems great, but the wheels are hard to mount perfectly centered so a significant wobble seems unavoidable without centering hardware that I've seen in Lee Valley and other places. The wobble makes good grinding difficult. The tools rests are kind of cheap too and you can't sharpen large tools without removing a lot of the protective pieces around the wheels. 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.
 A very good grinder April 5, 2008

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. Likewise it will coast for almost a minute after removing the power. But this mass creates a very strong motor which does not bog down under intense grinding.
You can buy cheaper grinders, but you get what you pay for. If you want quality and power, spend the extra dollars for this unit.
