Which bench grinder.............

Someone-Else · Post by **Someone-Else** » Mon Apr 26, 2021 7:42 pm

I went to use my bench grinder and it couldn't be bothered, so I am asking what make/model bench grinder have you got?
This is not my first, they never get much use, but I am fed up with having to get a new one every few years, hence my question. Picture of yours would be nice.
Money is an object, as opposed to money no object, but it has to look the right part for me to buy it. I don't want one at an angle, or with a light or a wet and dry one.

You have my eternal gratitude.

I think I paid £20 for mine at BnQ years ago. It still has the original grinding wheels as it does not get that much use.

I bought a Sealey 35 years ago.
I think the nearest equivalent now is this one

Looks pretty well the same except for the switch.
Haven't used it as much this last few years, but it's done a good bit of work, only light stuff though, sharpening etc.
They do quite a range.

£10 car boot sale, 15+ years ago.

Hard to believe you have failures - tried checking the brushes, cleaning the commutator?

Induction motors don't have brushes or a com. But thank you for the picture, looks like you use it often too.

I finally chose this one, 250 watt seems to work fine, but how long will it last? I do not know.
