Highlights
Quality
The quality of rikon tools is well worth your money
What’s less good is the quality of the grinding wheels supplied
I am happy with the product and the vendor
Not the stupid drill sharpening rest that no one wants and the build quality is very good
Price
The price is one of the best i have found online or in the stores and while the wheels it comes with are decent enough to sharp... Read More
All in all this is a decent setup for a modest price
Packaging/appearance
It was a little bit of a hassle none of which was amazon’s fault just the reality of packaging and returning a heavy grinder

Setup recommends removal of rubber feet prior to mounting solid to bench top you’ll need shorter fine thread machine bolts to reattach the base plate to the bottom of the grinder others are to long wo the rubber feet

Just one negative note i’ve always had smaller 6” diameter bench grinders so what i don’t like about this unit may be a characteristic inherent to all 8” grinders this thing takes forever to get up to operating speed and i’m talking about 7 seconds from the time you turn it on until it hits 1750 rpm
