Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Machine runs quietly, smoothly, doesn't get hot. Plenty of power and no stalling. Won't slow down much when leaning on it.

Very well made solid unit. Finish of buffer is excellent. Highly recommend for the home shop.

A bit snug is always better that sloppy with buffers and grinders. It comes with spacers for narrow width wheels. The shafts have flats for a wrench when removing arbor nuts.

    So a lot of folks seem to be concerned about the 1116 arbor on this machine some have even claimed to have been so upset about it that they returned it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Its true that 1116 is printed on the sticker but even the rikon website lists the shaft diameter at 58 15

    Ill admit that i havent taken calipers to the arbor i mean


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Was going to buy a larger unit more money but for occasional use i chose the rikon

    Good price but it is lacking power


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
