WEN 4276 6-Inch Bench Grinder

I don't know how this video doesn't have any comments on it. I just purchased one for myself and the instructions weren't super clear and your video cleared everything up for me. Thanks so much!

How are you feeling about the machine now, any updates! I can really only afford this 6in WEN or a Bauer and could use some input. Thanks!

​@@6atlantisI've used it to sharpen a few older chisels and I threw some polishing wheels and some wire wheels on it to clean up some old tools. My main use is with my lawn mower blades. It sharpened those up very quickly just using the stock grinding wheels that come on them. I have a relatively light load so I might not be the best judge, but it's been fantastic for me and I've had no issues so far after about 7 or 8 projects around 3 to 4 hours of use.

@@Choolio94 that’s what I’m currently doing, restoring vintage tools and my old grinder kicked the bucket. Just out of curiosity I’ve seen a few other videos where no matter what wheel they used it was unbalanced or had to add a spacer/washer for a wire wheel, does that sound familiar? Also do I put an extension/adapter on it if I’m planning on using a metal polishing/buffing wheel? I really appreciate you answering btw

Watching other videos and reading comments, i hear a LOT of complains that the grinder is unfixably unbalanced. Never saw on a vid, but read a lot of complains that.... Guess ill see for myself when it arrives.

I use it to sharpen 100's of lawn tractor blades every summer and tons of welding projects all winter.
