Great video! I’m trying to find a bench grinder that is quiet to use as a motor for a tennis ball thrower for my dog. Judging by 3:44 this seems to be the quietest I’ve found and one of the cheapest to boot.

Just got one and tried to put wire wheel but did not work. Is there spacers or washers that you need?

Yup, you need a spacer. Easy to make. Or just take the cover off. But you do that at your own risk.

You don't have a bolt or screw in your house? A nail? Anything? It would be nice to know if it bogs-down under use.

Thanks for watching! After a year’s use it still works, however it is light duty if you’re looking for more than that you should go bigger

How are you feeling about the machine now, any updates! I can really only afford this 6in WEN or a Bauer and could use some input. Thanks!

Update, I worked on it some more by taking it completely apart. Stuck the shaft on my lathe and found the right end where the stone mounts to be actually 4 or so thousands off. So basically it was not machined properly and is actually crooked to the shaft. So nothing can make it straight. Well, I did by adding thin cardboard to straighten out the wheel to an acceptable flatness. So good luck .

Correction: The bulb can be turned on without turning on the grinder. I got one myself a few days ago. I thought something was wrong when you said the bulb couldn't be turned on without turning on the motor, because sometimes you need to check the object you work on to make sure how to work on it. You don't have to turn on the motor just to turn on the bulb.
