Review on Norton Pedestal Abrasive Straight Thickness by Gregory Chaitanya

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good enough for my needs; poorly balanced

This wheel is good enough for my needs (sharpening mower blades and grinding weird car parts) but other reviews mention the wheel is missing round or is unbalanced at something. I installed this Norton wheel on my Delta bench grinder in place of the original 20 year old wheel. 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
  • Nice
Cons
  • Can't remember but there was something
