My workhorse toolbit grinder is a 1/2HP 6" Delta that I won in a raffle at a shop teacher convention in 1954. The cord burned off in the fire I had here in 1975, but I replaced the cord, and it's

The nice thing about Sears tooling, is if it heats up and smokes, or vibrates off the table, you can return it and try the replacement in the store. The Chinese ones I had the bad luck with were from

Mert I can. Only agree with you, my grinder is bolted down on a shelf, still tries to take the shelf off the wall. Kind regards, David Wiseman Sent from my BlackBerry mobile phone

My guess is that despite all coming from China, the final quality (hopefully) is different and dependant on the spec put to the factory. I have a grinder with a label carrying a well known UK brand.

The problem was, likely, not due to faulty ratings, but, faulty workmanship- IOW, it was a cheap piece of Chinese junk(not the boat).China build cheap tools. That's why they are cheap. I use mostly

I had that same grinder, and it lasted me about 10 minutes. The first second I started it up, I knew something was wrong, as the wheels would not run true. I tried trui

My problem with overseas grinders are First, the two I've bought take nearly a full minute to get up to speed, and nearly ten seconds to stop under load, grinding toolbits. Second the wheels are so

If it were me, I'd place it outside away from the house or shop, hook it up to extension cords and see if it actually catches fire. :) But I am a bit of a pyromanic. :) Paul

You might have to get more active than watching Craigslist. Go to flea markets, garage/yard sales, etc. My dad picked up a few quality grinders that way and he's not even looking, just could not walk

I have a cheap one I got from Cummins Tools back when they'd drive a couple of semi trucks to various places. I can sharpen a HSS bit on it but it doesn't hold its speed very well. My neighbor has a

I purchased a grinder from HF a long time ago when quality was an unknown word "there" (across the ocean). The grinder suffered similar symptoms, using it for 5 minutes it would get too hot to touch.

And to follow up. I did some research since I'm now in the market for a new grinder :-) Is Baldor the ONLY company not sourcing their grinders from China or Taiwan? I know Craftsman, DeWalt (B&D), and

I was sharpening some tools on my 6" Chinese (Homier) grinder today when I started to smell something a little funny but I continue working. After about 10 minutes, I notice that the grinder is
