Review on πŸ’ͺ WEN BG4260 6-Inch Grinder: Powerful 2.1 Amp Tool for Precision Grinding by Fernando Beck

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Ridiculous assembly design. Do not buy.

Terrible attachment design. Instead of 4 holes as indicated in the instructions, it only has 2 to save a few cents in production. and they put them in an impossible place: right under the axle housing. It is impossible to reach them from above. In fact, if you have a thick workbench, you won't even be able to get the screws in from the top because there won't be enough room on top. You need to insert screws under your workbench. And if you don't have a screw that's just the right length, you have absolutely no room to insert a tool. I already have a large collection but none of them are long enough to fit under the body and still be able to turn the nut. Also, as you can see from the photos, it is impossible to get to your mounting screw from the side as it is behind the grinding wheels. And forget about marking the holes, since there's not even room to stick a pencil through the holes to mark where to drill - unless you have a 1-inch pencil handy. I have to drive to the hardware store in an hour to buy some screws. If this grinder had four mounting holes as per the instructions - presumably one hole in each corner - I could have avoided all of this and I could have installed it in 10 minutes.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn
