My 6" Craftsman grinder burned out it's capacitor, and I am in the market for a new grinder.
I have been considering one of Grizzly's or HF's Heavy Duty Tool Grinders (links are below). I've seen both, and they look like they were produced in the same factory. I like the pivoting and locking tables and the wide wheel faces.
Aside from these two features, I am wondering what the advantage of these grinders is over your average 6" or 8" grinder? Also, I am surprised by the lack of eye protection on them. Is this a problem, or is there a good reason for it?
Can anyone suggest why I might consider spending the extra $ for one of these machines?
Thanks!
