Ah yes. You probably have the same model as mine. Same price and very quiet. At least until you stick a chisel on it, anyway! Christian. |

I mean a double bench grinder. Some of the cheaper ones just don't have enough power - you can stall them when grinding large lumps. ;-) -- *Sherlock Holmes never said "Elementary, my dear Watson" * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

I've just had a thought, looking at the fixing of the wheels I could make this into bench grinder on one side and a lathe(spindle moulder), on the tother side. -- Sir Benjamin Middlethwaite |
