A blown wheel can kill your grinder

Trying to just get decent tools that I'm not paying a 50% markup for a name brand on

Go get one from home depot

Also yes, spin a wheel to 3500rpm and it's a frag grenade

Try and get one with good guards

Keep it an 8th from the wheel

A 16th if you are doing screws

1/8"?

Yup

Gotcha

Too much and you'll get your work sucked in

Yeah

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NO GLOVES

Lmao

Gloves mean you loose a finger

Why would I wear gloves if it's not hot or hazardous?

Air flow

Wtf is this

That's spinning at 3500rpm and creating a hell of a draft

Well no shit

What

So if you add in cloth

Yeah, not a good combo

Yup

Wat

I don’t think grizzly sells anything made in the US

And your hand is going to be half an inch away from it anyways

I guess I'll go for the Grizzly though, more powerful than the Rikon

They’re a seller of offshore tools

Get more general use out of it

That level of rpm isn't going to matter

Its a 300 difference

Nah it's the extra hp to keep the belt going

0.3 as opposed to 0.5, it's a decent difference when you're working with small scale motors

You should look closely to compare belt tensioning and tracking adjustment

Because if you’re constantly having to fiddle with it, it makes it a pain to use.

Has excellent 1-year on reviews

Also, I'm looking for a good belt spread

I'm think 120, 300, 600, 800, 1000

Thinking

Anyone having a bad day today?
