Review on Premium Norton Grinding Wheel: Gemini Bench & Pedestal Aluminum Oxide Grinder Wheel - Medium Grit (8 Inch) - 1 Pack by Bilal Cartwright

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Good enough for my needs; poorly balanced

This wheel is adequate for my needs (sharpening mower blades and grinding improper car parts) but other reviewers mention that the wheel may or may not be round. I installed this Norton wheel in place of the original 20 year old wheel on my Delta bench grinder. The old wheel was less than half worn compared to the new one. As I was literally 11 years old when I bought this grinder new, I can't exactly remember if my grinder was vibrating and "running" that much, but I'm a little annoyed. I can try a different wheel, or I can finally bolt this thing to my workbench as I've intended to since I bought it. .But if I want to address all these issues I might as well upgrade to something bigger/more powerful anyways as it was basically the cheapest on Handy Andy when it went out of business.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Can't remember
