 Perfect for home use July 27, 2004

I have used an 8 inch Jet grinder for years at my job. It performed it's job perfectly over a decade of day-to-day abuse. But for home use, I decided it was overkill. I had looked at the various Delta bench grinders, but wasn't impressed with the reviews they were given. They also seemed underpowered... And Baldors are just too expensive. That left me with the Dewalt.
I have been pleased with this grinder, although I have only had it for a month. It has plenty of power for sharpening dull lawnmower blades, chisels, punches, you name it. It comes with two grinding wheels of differing grit, and between the two grits, you should be covered for 99% of any sharpening chores. Although it would be wise to also buy a wire brush wheel for metal cleaning and deburring.
The unit seems well constructed. Everything assembled easily and seemed well made, although I would have liked to have seen slightly stronger tool rests. But atleast they were stronger than what I saw on other grinders I looked at.
I would easily recommend this for home or small shop use. It's a great value at this price.

This 6" stationary grinder performs all tasks as expected, with minimal motor noise and easy grinding wheel changes. And if more access to the wheels is needed, the integrated shields swing out of the way with a simple twist of a wing-nut. The plattens adjust their angle to the wheels with similar ease.For the price, this single speed grinder is a reasonable buy.
A Great Bench Grinder! July 8, 2006

This bench grinder is one of the best that I have ever used. I have owned both a Craftsman and a Delta 6" bench grinder in the past, and the new Dewalt really stands out both in quality and strength. The only drawback that I have found is that when removing the wheel cover on either side, one of the screws is close to the bottom and it is very inconvenient to get a screwdriver on it. This is merely an incovenience and has nothing to do with the performance of the grinder. I am very pleased with my purchase, and if I ever have a need for a second grinder I will purchase another one just like it.
