BG625V 2.5-Amp 6-Inch Variable Speed Bench Grinder with Flexible Work Light , Black

This ia great smll grinder. Works good so far. I don't need grinder for everyday use but need one now and then so bought this. And customer service was great too.

My old, 53 year old, bench grinder finall gave up the ghost. What a pain! I had to have a replacement, so I started researching what's available on Amazon. For my needs, and for my bucks, this was the best grinder for me. I have other Wen tools, and they have served me well. I decided to go with the name I know, and I'm glad I did. This is a complete setup with all the vital accessories. It's a bit noisy, but the grinding wheels that came with it do everything I need. I like the variable speed and the smoothness when it is running. Great deal!

So purchased this to help keep my riding mower's three blades sharp. I purchased this with the WEN 4288 Cast Iron Bench Grinder Pedestal Stand with Water Pot and finally got around to unpacking them and putting it together today. Well, assembly was very easy, the stand took about 3 minutes (it's 4 set screws and one Philips screw) and it includes the hardware to mount the grinder as well. The grinder took a little bit longer to assemble, however it was pretty easy. Put the two safety guards on, the tool rests and the spark guard. That with mounting it on the stand took about ten minutes. The switch was in the "on" position after unpacking (the switch has a little dot on one side and that side depressed is on) so after plugging it in (on), that was a disappointment but not a concern. It powered up to full speed in about 5-6 seconds, and ran fairly smooth for about 3 min under no load before I turned it off. The light that is mounted on it is a great feature and one feature that I really like. On to the task at hand - sharpening the mower blades. Well, it worked. Worked much better than the pneumatic die grinder and file I had been using. However it was a under powered when more than gentle pressure was applied, and would bog down very quickly once the mower blade would towards the end and not rest on the tool rest fully supported. The amount of power is the reason for the single star docking, I wish it had more. That being said - for what I paid for it, the stand and the ease of use, it's still a solid little worker for the likely 4-5 times a year that I'll be using this thing. Would I recommend it - sure for my use mentioned above, would I buy it again if this one fails, no. I'd buy something with more power. The pictures are the boxes, the unit installed on the stand, the unit assembled on the stand.

Not a Bad bench grinder for the money, I love the variable speed control, sometimes I don't need full blast speed, and it is nice to be able to slow it down.

I have had other grinders. It does everything I want it to do. I put on a bristle wheel also.

I’m a DIYer and woodworker and this Wen grinder fits my needs perfectly. Assembly was pretty easy, although I found aligning and leveling the tool supports to be challenging. I’ve already sharpened chisels and kitchen knives and am very pleased with the ease of effort and the outcome. Yes, the light wiggles around while operating the grinder but I’ll find a workaround to make it stationary. So far, I’m very happy with the value received for the price paid. Only time will tell about its longevity and durability.

Seems to be a decent bench top grinder. Putting this thing together could have been illustrated a little better, especially for the adjustable tool rest. The work light is OK but has a hard time staying in the position I want it to stay. Like a drunk it slowly start leaning backwards or sideways. My big problems is the intermittent noise the motor makes, regardless of speed setting. It's sort of a grinding/humming sound coming from the motor. It may last for a few seconds or even several minutes and then go away. Of course, I check that the noise is not caused by vibration or some other things laying around close by. Even placed the grinder on a concrete floor with the same issues. I can't believe that this is normal and contemplate returning this thing. As a side note, I own for years several other WEN products and am generally very happy with their quality and performance. 7/5/2024 update. Not using it on a daily basis. So far so good. I am used to the"drunken" work light. A little push one in a while and the guy stands up again. The only other new thing is when turning the machine off. The wheels keep spinning for a very long time, especially when it ran on a high speed. Can take as long as 3 minutes for the wheels to stop spinning. The vibration is still there, but permanently mounted it on a workbench and it got a little better.

EXCELENTE HERRAMIENTA ROBUSTA Y VERSATIL

ME GUSTO EL PRODUCTO SOLO QUE HACE UN ZUMBIDO CUANDO BAJA LA VELOCIDAD PERO AL SUBIRLA AL MÁXIMO DESAPARECE, CREO QUE ES POR EL MISMO POTENCIOMETRO QUE ES EL AJUSTE DE VELOCIDAD VARIABLE, PERO NADA QUE AFECTE EL FUNCIONAMIENTO, Y DENTRO DE TODO ESTO A LA VEZ ES SILENCIOSO Y MUY BONITO, ESTOY SATISFECHO! LA VERDAD ME ENCANTO Y ESTETICAMENTE LE DOY UN 10! SOLO EN RUIDO LE PUSE 4 ESTRELLAS POR ESE PEQUEÑÑO ZUMBIDO PERO ES DE BAJO RUIDO!
