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

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

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

    No vibration as some referenced


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    When i turned it on the right wheel was quiet but there was significant vibration and noise in the left wheel

    We hen compared to the angle in the tool rest supplied by rikon it appeared to be identical


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Put this thing together checked that the wheels were tight and turned it not

    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

    Unfortunately for me as the gift giver it doesn’t come in a separate box so the surprise was ruined
