THE Grinder
»
These days it is not readily apparent how much difference there actually is in the quality of products. Generic Hardware stores are forced to sell inexpensive products instead of high quality ones. This is because folks these days are more interested in filling their hobby areas quickly, instead of purposefully. I've been a mac user for years, and have really come to understand the cost of quality in the area of computers and their applications. I recently became interested in metal working and bought one of the lowe's 'special' ($59.95) grinders for doing some basic grinding operations. It is an OK machine, but there is absolutely NO comparison to the machine presented here. We have been expanding the hobby and are going to use this grinder as part of a belt grinder system as well. When the Baldor arrived - the box says it all. The picture doesn't convey the seriousness of this product. Its big and robust. And when you flip on the switch it runs like a swiss watch. If you want to be inspired by your tools instead of challenged by them - invest in good tools - this is a great grinder. You could probably build a battleship with it.Avoid the Walmarting of America - buy fewer things of more lasting value. This grinder will be around when your grinding days are way past over. Dan P.

The Best!

I have had made Baldor grinder since December, and have had NO problems. It would make an excellent addition to any woodworking shop! If you are looking for a smooth, powerful, heavy-duty grinder, this is it! It should provide many years of trouble-free service. Also, Amazon.com provided excellent service. I'm glad it got it.

Not your run of the mill grinder

This is an industrial quality grinder that is sure to be passed down to the next generation. It is built like a tank and runs very smoothly. Sure, it costs more but I think i got what i paid for. Quality machine made in the USA.
