Lowes has that sme grinder $30.00 cheaper and you can look at it and touch it before you buy. http://www.lowes.com/pd_496567-52010-23-197_0__?productId=50150072&Ntt=
As I said earlier, I'm not in a big rush for the grinder, it was mostly intended for a means to get out in the shop and do SOMETHING until I'm better poised in the future, so I just sorta was letting it ride for a bit, letting the "right one" come along, and viola!
On Saturday, we had great weather here, so to get out of the house, the wife and I loaded up and was wondering through Lowes... They had the above grinder on sale for $116.
Knowing the wife, I knew the best way to get the "ok" was to NOT be interested... It worked. Brought it home, set it up, fired it up, and man, SUPER quiet and almost no vibration. I didn't time the spin down, but it would be measured in minuets for sure. The only 2 downsides are; the advertised wheel dressing tool is nothing to write home about, and the left side tool rest has an angled groove in it, almost like a jig or something (not sure what thats about?). I'll say that overall it is a great grinder. Smooth at all speeds.
I say, if you are in the need or a good, economical grinder, do not hesitate to buy this one.
