Craftsman 1/6 hp 6" Bench Grinder with... Reviews
What can I say? Pull it out of the box, snap together in a few simple steps and BAM you've got yourself one heavily reliable grinder.
I put over 20 hours on this grinder in two months since I've had it and I'm in love!
MAN TIP: This is a grinder - bolt it down to something SOLID!!!
If you're concerned about the 1/6 hp - I want to know what you are grinding!
It shapes everything from wood to thick steel with NO PROBLEMS!
If you cant grind it, then you are probably using the wrong wheel or the wrong tool.
If you need a grinder, buy this one! It's cheaper than dirt and will grind! You can buy the...

I was looking for a small to midsized grinder for sharpening the lawn mower blade and doing odd grinding jobs that I encounter during projects on the house. This grinder is built well enough and has enough power for what I need. There is a little vibration and the guards are a bit cheap, but the price was right. Overall, I would recommend it to the average DYIer like me.
After shopping around for bench grinder, I finally settled on the Craftsman 6in bench grinder. I was impressed with the power, especially since other reviews stated that it was under powered. For the homeowner doing projects around the house, this grinder will certainly complete the task. The only problem (as with all powerful grinders) is the vibrations. The vibrations are so harsh that it moves my workbench that I bolted it down to. It would have been nice if they designed it with some sort of vibration dampener, maybe a thick rubber base. Vibrations go hand in hand with power, and this has...

worth the money.
I like this grinder because I am able to bolt it on to my workbench and use it for small jobs. When I am finished I can unbolt it and put it back on the shelf and not have to worry about it. You need to realize that buying this means you need a sturdy workbench to bolt it on to or buy the stand and bolt it to the ground. No matter how they build it, its going to dance around a workbench unless its bolted down. 1/3 hp motor is strong enough if used correctly, for almost any job dont force the item or you will bog it down or worse it will get sucked into the grinding wheel. I watched someone use...

I moounted this to a stand I had in my garage and bought this to keep lawn mower blades sharp.
When I took my blades to this grinder to sharpen for the fall leave mulching ritual, I was surprised there was no slow down or strain on the motor. Other cheap grinders I have purchased in the past could not keep up the rpms to grind lawn mower blades.
I am very pleased with this Grinder adn would recomend for lite home maintenance projects.
This Grinder does wonderfully for all my shop and home jobs. Great grinder for a great price. My only wish is that I went for the model with the larger motor. Sometimes with big jobs it bogs down.
This grinder does a great job. I've polish and grind with it quite often. I do sheetmetal work quite often and this does very well.
