Additional DELTA GR275 6-Inch Variable Speed Grinder with Tool-Less Change Information

The DELTA GR275 6-inch Variable Speed Grinder with Tool-Less Change incorporates three different wheels for sharpening, grinding, and buffing. It features a 2.5 Amp induction-type motor for powerful performance, and has a variable speed of 2000 to 3450 RPM for a fine level of control depending on the materials you are working with. The white sharpening wheel is used for sharpening tools and chisels, and its tool rest has a drill bit rest milled into the surface so you'll get the correct angle on the tip at all times. A nut and tool-less wheel cover makes changing wheels quick and easy. The base is made of cast iron for durability and stability. An independently switched 40-watt work lamp with a flexible goose neck illuminates the work area while you're working. A full-size safety shield is clear and has thumb screws for easy adjustment.

What Customers Say About DELTA GR275 6-Inch Variable Speed Grinder with Tool-Less Change:

I use it for sharpening knives with curved shanks (hoof knives), and the variable speed feature allows me to slow it down so that I don't tend to overheat the metal. A great product. The attached gooseneck light allows easy visualization of the fine details of the edges during sharpening.

The quality is great and the functionality is just what I wanted. Delta is a brand one can count on. A good buy.

This grinder meets my requirements.It was easy and quick to set up.All the parts were there.It is good for the price.

However, I wanted to mount it onto a free-standing grinder stand; unfortunately, the tool stand that I bought contained a mounting plate that was incompatible with the grinder's mounting holes. This grinder will sit on your bench and not vibrate off at any speed. I bought a stand (HTC HGP-10)and its mounting-plate holes did not match up with the grinder's holes. It has everyting you need to sharpen everything from dull steak knives, cheap pocket knives, lawn mower blades and gardening tools. Foiled again. The grinder features a variable speed control and that capability puts it way out front of the others.

Re-drilling was not possible since the mounting plate is too small, and the grinder's mounting base has no room and is cast iron. IMHO this is the best small grinder on the market that I could uncover during an intensive slurp thru the Internet maze. Beyond those limitations you'll need to invest in a larger tool. That's what you gotta look out for and that's impossible to do online.

Assembly was pretty straight forward, took me about 15 minutes to get it together and running. Nice feature except for the fact that my small chisels can fall into the gap while grinding. Tool rests provide enough maneuverability to sharpen shorter tools as well as longer chisels without having to make a jig to hold the small tools closer to the disk. I could have went with a cheaper grinder, but by the time shipping, purchasing of wheels specific to sharpening, and the annoyances of lack of variable speed (not to mention potential damage to the tools)are all factored in, it is obvious that this was a wise investment.

The rest next to the white stone has indentations made for drill bits. I am fairly new to woodworking and have accumulated a number of chisels/carving tools that require sharpening before use. Would have been nice to be able to swap rests instead of swapping grinding disks.At any rate, the problems encountered were very minor and are mostly related to personal preference rather than faults with the product. The grinder comes with a white sharpening disc, regular grinding disc and buffing pad. Along with the lower price, these two factors alone helped make this a very good deal. Pre-sharpened chisels are nice, but they come at a price that is beyond my limited budget.Here is the breakdown -This grinder is advertised specifically for sharpening. All I need is some buffer compound and I pretty much have everything I need for sharpening on the grinder. Nice change of pace for those like me that have purchased much cheaper tools in the past and have had to make sense of mimeograph quality instructions and a slew of nuts and bolts that do not seem to fit properly half the time.

I definitely feel I have my money's worth. I ordered this grinder on the 2nd, received it on the 8th with the free super saver shipping option. The variable speed is an important feature as it limits the possiblity of burnout on the tools. I give it only 4 stars instead of 5 due to the short length of the light (already noted in other reviews) and the fact that the toolrests are not interchangeable.
