Someone near me is advertising a 14" pedestal grinder. It is similar
in construction (but not brand) to this grinder.

In other words, it is huge, 5 to 7.5 HP depending on wheel width.

While the size of this grinder fascinates me, I cannot help but wonder
how can people even get the full power out of it.

Also do you think that they are much more dangerous than regular
1/2-1HP grinders.

thanks


If you buy it..I have brand new wheels Ill give you simply for the
shipping

This is awesome. If I win it, I will take you up on your offer. I can
prepay a label, it will be cheaper for me.

Thanks Gunner.

So... Have you seen people use those beasts? How are they used?

I

Besides "carefully"?

You simply use them like any other grinder. They dont spin all that
fast ..but because of the size of the wheel..it keeps up the SFM.

Shrug...they work good, and its really really really hard to stall one.

As someone said..dont get your sleeve snagged in one. Other than
that..use em like you would a regular grinder.

you must, would be to post the same standard reply to his every post,
listing the manifold reasons why he ought to be ignored. Just my $0.02
