Cheers Russ. I am overjoyed at the moment, my daughter arrived home an hour ago from uni. She's home for a couple of months! Enjoy your weekend too bud! :-)
the hozzel to the flex tool that holds and grips the tool bits has stretched and no longer holds the bits. They just fall out no matter how tight. Is there a replacement?
Regarding lack of shielding from flying sparks, dust and debris how about inverting a medium size plastic storage container with two cutouts large enough to pass gloved hands through, place item to be worked on in front of grinder, then cover with storage container, put hands through holes, pick up item and work away. Now clear plastic is a must, if that's still not clear enough, then find some plexiglass, cut out window are from container, affix plexiglass over opening, from inside, extra protection. Also fashion a hold fast for container to work bench as vibration will cause container to creep across bench. And if your open to suggestions, a hole cutout in the upper area and behind grinder, to attach your shop vacuum to act as exhaust for all those flying bits.
Regarding the position of the pre positioned hole for use anchoring grinder to bench, no need to tear down the unit to place bolts down through grinder into bench for securing from below, just measure distance from bench level surface at hole and down through bench allowing for lock washers and double nuts, then pass your bolt up through bench through grinder body and secure with lock washers, maybe rubber grommet and then nut tight with hand tool right there under the arbor, should be no issues with function going this route to anchoring grinder. Wink. Stay curious ALWAYS. YOU'LL LIVE LONGER AS USUALLY HAPPIER.
It is still working well Matt, but it does not get used very often. I use it to hone chisels, kitchen knives and carving tools. I fitted a homemade leather honing wheel to it so it is not used as a grinder. :-)
Looks like the same unit but I'm pretty sure they should not have put a speed controller on it because I think they don't have full torque unless they are all the way up
Короче кто по русски читает , это не станок для заточки а хрень , ногти жене точить и то бы не взял , вчера купил сегодня отнёс назад в магазин и написал рекламацию , айнхель называется они одинаковые что и эта иголки точить и то не пойдёт , зотел ножницы наточить запорол ....

You could bolt it to the table and put the nut facing up
Yes, bolting it from underneath would work. :-)
Thanks mate
Glad I could help! :-)
Where can i get the Battery and the charger for the mini grinder
It is 240V mains Bobby. :-)
Very good

Please lonch in the Mark it's used for house work
:-)
Could you sharpen and clean up hatchet with this machine?
Possibly James, but it is more geared towards smaller tools. :-)
I used 900 watts angle grinder to sharpen a big hatchet and it's a breeze!
can scissor and knife be sharpen with this machine?
Yes, but there are better machines out there. :-)
Since there is no vacuuming system in a device of this size class, do you have any issues with dust/metal powder buildup near the wheels?
No, I modified the grinder to make a honing machine. ua-cam.com/video/WW1mSnlUONc/v-deo.html :-)
Hi, great review. Is this still working 2 plus years down the line?
It is still working well Matt, but it does not get used very often. I use it to hone chisels, kitchen knives and carving tools. I fitted a homemade leather honing wheel to it so it is not used as a grinder. :-)
instablaster
I have one and like it. I use it to sharpen tungsten for welding.
It is good value for what it does. :-)
it's great❤❤❤ thank u sir ❤❤
:-)
MUI bueno buenísimo yo quiero uno igual qu'e lo compraste en -Harbor fraigt veury weld.
:-)
Looks like a little more powerful than the Harbor Freight grinder. It would be nice to see a little more torque and better quality.
It is a little under powered, but it is fine for honing. :-)
Looks like the same unit but I'm pretty sure they should not have put a speed controller on it because I think they don't have full torque unless they are all the way up
