A fine machine with some drawbacks

This is a fine little machine for the occasional user. I installed it on my work truck due to the size and low power draw since I run everything on a 2kw portable Honda Genset. The only drawback so far has been the difficulty in finding a 6inch x 3/4 face wire wheel brush with a reasonable price. The shroud had to be removed to install this to me convenient accesory.The most agravating thing was the amount of spacers and ingenuity I had to invest to make the arrangement work and maintain the " tool less " capability to be able to quickly switch to a buffing/polishing wheel. If your only intention is to use it for light duty sharpening ,( which basically is what's made for ) go for it, you won't be dissapointed. I turned the grinder on as soon as I had it unpacked. It vibrated a lot. Don't they bother to even test these before shipping them out? I thought I'd try to remove the wheels to see if it was a bad wheel or the grinder motor. The small wrench they supplied to hold the shaft so you can remove the outside nuts was at least one size too big. It wouldn't hold the shaft. I called the company, and their suggestion was to jam a piece of wood between the wheel and tool mount. That worked, but it was almost impossible to get the left nut off. The threads had been miss cut. The right nut spun right off. This one is going back, and I'm shopping for another brand. I love Amazon and their return policy. This assembled with ease...everything fit perfectly...while the two wheels are labeled the same, it is rather obvious that the gray wheel (60 grit) is the coarse wheel and the white wheel (80-100 grit?) is the fine wheel...it really doesn't matter what they are labeled...the grinder started up right away and everything functioned perfectly...once I was sure it worked okay and everything fit, I yanked off the spark guards/eye shields, the tables, and the wheel covers and put my buffing wheels on as that is what I really bought this for...cotton sewn buffing wheel on the right and yellow starched buffing wheel on the left, as this is actually going to be used as a bench buffer for my pipes...the variable speed option and the light make cleaning and polishing the stems and bowls a snap...a little tripoli on the left and carnauba wax on the right and I tried it out on an inexpensive Kaywoodie pipe and I am very pleased...overall a great product and a great buy for the price!
