Review on πŸ› οΈ Metabo DS 175 7-Inch Grinding Machine by Justin Early

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Poor fit and finish, not very easy to adjust

The grinder is pretty powerful in my opinion. But the deal breakers are the guards. The screw holes in the stamped metal cases are so misaligned that I have a hard time changing wheels every time. I'm really surprised at how these passed factory quality control because I can't put them back on without a hammer and a lot of swearing. Hand rests are also suitable if you only grind straight. The carriage bolts that hold it don't allow it to change angle at all, which isn't great when you're sharpening tools. You might get lucky and find a good one, but next time I'll look for something else.

Pros
  • Bayonet safety cover for quick and easy disc change
Cons
  • Slightly dented
