Too strong vibration

First shipping and delivery super. I ordered this grinder early in the morning of January 3rd and it arrived on January 4th. I bought this grinder to replace an old 8 inch grinder that was damaged and had a bent shaft. The Jet Crusher has a 1 HP motor and is more powerful than you would expect from just 1 HP.

Pros
  • double grinder
Cons
  • old

Pros
  • Paper Shredder
Cons
  • Slightly torn

I attribute why it vibrates to the slight rocking of one of the wheels. The powerful engine revs up quickly. Unfortunately…

  • Power tools
