I have one and like it. It does not bog down. It may not really be a
2 hp motor, but it has plenty of power. It runs at 1725 rpm and
therefore has more torque than a grinder that runs at 3450 rpm. That
said, I replaced the fine wheel with a soft white one from Boeing
Surplus. The new one is a 1.25 inch wide Norton wheel. I should
replace the coarse wheel as it is not good. But right now I just lean
into it and let it burn whatever I am grinding. ( I don't do that on
things that care about ).

If you get one plan on beefing up or replacing the tool rests. I
brazed a gusset on one and made another from 1/4 inch thick steel.
