Review on 🔥 United Abrasives SAIT 06551 Grinder: High-Performance Grinding Tool for Superior Results by Bill Russett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good but high vibration

The quality of the product is excellent and the surface of the wavy bristles picks up material really well. I think 4" is too big and heavy for a 41/2" grinder. Due to the high speed and imbalance of the wire wheel, the vibration of the grinder made it difficult to use over a longer period of time. I used it to remove primer and paint from a project car and it worked better with the primer than any other method I've tried, including a bristle cup brush. However, the speed of rotation combined with the vibration of the wire brush was tiring to use and a little unsafe. I was really impressed with the build quality of the SAIT wheel. In fact, I ordered a smaller version of this bike before writing this review. I think the smaller diameter and lighter weight of the wheel reduces vibration while still providing enough surface area for effective stock removal.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
