I have a 6", 3/4 hp bench grinder I bought when a tool truck came to town.
It is a good size, but no power.. JUNK to me.
Does HF, HD or Sears have a good grinder that can use a wire wheel with out
bogging down?
What size, hp and amps would I look for that will not grunt or stop on me...

TIA

I bought one from one of those tool truck sales ---- again, JUNK.
It had open, exposed bearings facing the sides of the wheels and the
bearings went out within a few days.... No power, either as when I
open up this huge housing, there was a little tiny drill motor sized
armature inside - no wonder no power. I bought a Delta next - but
didn't notice on the box (in tiny print) Made in China.... same junk,
different name. My thoughts are to make one with a good motor, NOT
3450 rpm (which I could never understand why a grinder has to spin out
of control to operate), which will probably be driving a belt driven
arbor. Gotta be better than the china junk - and it *will* be made in
the USA (by ME). :-)
