Country of origin?
Let me check
Grizzly is US
Rikon is probably asian
Links?
Just because it says US made doesn't mean it's good
Rikon is Chinese
And Grizzly
http://www.grizzly.com/aboutus
Just looking for a nice intersection between cost, reliability, and efficacy.
Rpm the same?
There's a lot of models
IIRC H6070 is 3500rpm 0.5hp
Try and get one with a sheild and work light
Also make sure you get a fucking grind clearer
If you start getting a film on the wheel stop or you'll mess up
The main concern is going to be your grinding wheels
Yeah Rikon is 0.3hp and 3270rpm
Also yeah, same as caring for whetstones
Not exactly
Grit
It's a little diffrent
I assume dust buildup is more significant
But my fear is dropping 200 on a tool that's shit
Hahaha
So your dressing wheel is going to be your big investment
Nah
Yahhh
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
