Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Machine is great I kinda love this machine. It doesn’t take up any more room then a standard 8 inch grinder and the belt works great. I replaced the grinding stone with a wire brush. I use that more for cleaning stuff up. I’ve heard people complain that you can only get the belts from Eastwood. I ordered extras and they aren’t that expensive. Problem solved.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pretty darn good The only complaint I have is that the guard is not "quick release" as advertised. Other than that, it seems good quality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Value for the Money The grinder isn't difficult to assemble, and it went together well. The belt side is very noisy, so I wear hearing protection when I'm using the grinder. It does a decent job, and I'm satisfied with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Purchase Great Product Great product, plenty of power, love having a sanding belt with a grinding wheel. I have used it several times in the short time I have owned it. Grinding down welds, forming and sanding down brackets I've made for the mustang rebuild I'm doing/

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pleasantly surprised! I’ve been looking for a grinder with a vertical belt sander for some time. I have found commercial and industrial units that were really expensive. This is exactly what I was looking for and at a very good price. Works very nice! FYI, arbor is 5/8”, not 1/2” as stated in the description.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Grinder I could not be more pleased with the Grinder it works well,has plenty of power torque and speed to make great knives in short order. The Grinder appears to be solid and well built. I am very happy with this purchase so far.

Questions & Answers

Just open the box and have everything setup but when I try to adjust the belt alignment, the screw keeps coming loose. I can see it backing off, what am I missing?

Asked by: Scottc2
Do you mean left and right? Insure the tension is exact. turn it my hand to insure it is running straight. The yellow know is what your speaking of? There should not be enough vibration to have it back off.

Is there a manner to slack grind knife bevel where nothing behind belt..Platen slack grinding think it is called? Like a spot belt flowing freely?..Bigger table for knife bevel jig?

Asked by: Skippy
Unfortunately this unit will not safely Slack Belt grind as the belt is to short and the platen should not be removed to grind. The larger 2" and 3" wide long reach or long belt machines would be necessary for the type of grinding you reference.

Can I run my grinder/sander through a frequency adjuster to slow down the speed? I know sow types of motors will work.

Asked by: Mrbreeze
Unfortunately, this would be considered modifying the machine which would void the warranty. We are unable to offer any advice on modifying our units because of this and safety reasons.
