Selected User Reviews For Ironton 8in. Variable Speed Benchtop Grinder - 3/4 HP, 2,000-3,400 RPM

The grinder is well made
5/5

The bench top grinder was everything I had hoped it would be. I was able to run it smoothly right out of the box. There is a lot of weight and a lot of strength in it. There were much more sturdy tool rests and a clear plastic shield on this grinder than on other grinding machines. During assembly of the rests and shields, I appreciated that the bolts had high quality and were of an adequate length. Sharpening needs to be done at a variable speed. Sheerness is listed under "Rate Features". What is it?.

Northern support is not understanding why this tool can be so very loud when no load is applied
3/5

I've tried to get their help on this. The only thing I got was a warranty of one year. The first time that hears it, they say it is awful, and that it is defective. Therefore, I made an experiment. A video made via the phone cannot be attached since it is too big. If you make an mp4 and want someone to hear it, you must attach an audio file instead. As it turns out, they don't care about anything other than getting your money and taking you for a ride. It is not the kind of service I have experienced with Amazon in the past, but no one seems to be taking responsibility for anything on this Grinder. Yesterday I was able to speak to a rep.

The grinding wheel is cracked when it arrived
3/5

After reading the box when the bench grinder arrived, I saw that it was the model I ordered, and I was impressed by its packaging. Due to my busy schedule, it took me about three weeks to unpack the box and assemble the tool rests, spark guards, In the centre of the wheel, I noticed two cracks from the edge of the wheel to the center of the wheel. I don't like this.

This is a wonderful unit! This is powerful! As described, everything is great! A few weeks ago, I contacted the company about a small (minor) component missing from my set
5/5

I received a prompt response and solution right away! I was surprised by how well the resolution turned out! It is highly recommended to buy from this company and buy.

This grinder is fantastic! In order to replace an old 6 inch grinder that had been in use for more than 15 years, I purchased this grinder
5/5

motor was quite low on power and would stall when a light pressure was With the new one, that is not the case. There's plenty of power left over! Designed to be bolted in place and comes assembled. The work light is also very handy. When it comes out of the box, it is quiet and smooth running. Having used this bench grinder for over a year, I definitely recommend it.

This is a decent but dented car
3/5

If it weren't for the fact that it was damaged, I would have given a higher rating. A dent appeared in it, and the housing for the light was crushed. The right side wire wheel guard had been dented in, so I had to fix it in order to be able The tool works well and appears to be well worth the cost. Make sure you check the country of origin before buying. As far as completing the task goes, it is very good.

You get the most for your money! The base is very heavy-duty and solidly weighted
5/5

You have plenty of power for any grinding or polishing you may need. A simple assembly is required. The speed can be modulated in a convenient way. This is an excellent deal!.
