Reasonably good product February 20, 2008
I have no significant complaints about the product. It is what you would expect for a middle of the road home shop grinder. The flexible light needs to be a few inches longer in order to fully illuminate the tool rest platform. There are shadows because the light doesn't reach far enough.
The fore and aft adjustments to the tool rest platform are poorly thought out and require a wrench. The supplied wrench doesn't reach the back bolts very well (there needs to be an offset bent into the wrench). You can't reach it either with a socket wrench because there is not enough clearance with the motor housing. I don't even see why they use hex bolts when it would be much better to have knobs.
The grinder itself runs smoothly and the variable speed works well.
My biggest complaint is that the Delta grinder stand that was sold with this grinder does not fit (bolt pattern doesn't line up) and I will have to fabricate an adapter plate.
 Great Grinder January 28, 2008
Extremely satisfied with the product and the speed of delivery. The grinder is well balanced and has low vibration. The speed control is excellent for sharpening my turning tools and then turn up the speed to grind heavy steel. Excellent price and the tooless change capability makes it easy to swap wheels. I would recommend to anyone over higher priced options.
A fine machine with some drawbacks. November 29, 2007

This is a fine little machine for the occasional user. I installed it on my work truck due to the size and low power draw since I run everything on a 2kw portable Honda Genset. The only drawback so far has been the difficulty in finding a 6inch x 3/4 face wire wheel brush with a reasonable price. The shroud had to be removed to install this to me convenient accesory.The most agravating thing was the amount of spacers and ingenuity I had to invest to make the arrangement work and maintain the " tool less " capability to be able to quickly switch to a buffing/polishing wheel. If your only intention is to use it for light duty sharpening ,( which basically is what's made for ) go for it, you won't be dissapointed.
Best grinder for the price August 4, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is great Delta equipment! Well, there is always exception to the rule.
Grinding stones are really good, and even tool rest is suitable. I use Veritas tool rest on one weal and Delta's on another. What most surprised me is that the grinder does not have arbor run-out. This is really uncharacteristic for Delta. Has Delta been sold out by Black & Decker?
