Review on Shop Fox W1840 Variable-Speed Grinder With Work Light, 8 by Joshua Donnis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not a familiar name but best grinder ever bought

I’ve gone through a lot of grinders as it is my favorite tool in the shop, this tool not only is a tool but it makes tools. This is Shop Fox grinder Hass to be the best one I’ve ever used for the value that it cost. It has an LED light that doesn’t blow out with vibration like every other grinders . the lights construction is also well made it in that it stays where you put the light again from other models the vibration makes the light bow down but not with this one. Right out of the box I plugged it in and turned it on and it was the quietest grinder I’ve ever heard at full speed even looking at the grind wheels being slightly off-balance it was still a solid quiet grinder and it is my first go to out of the four in my shop

Pros
  • 5/8" grinding wheel Bore
Cons
  • The locking mechanism on the grinding wheels is quite flimsy and tends to loosen while in use
