This is a solid piece of kit, small enough to sit on a workbench. It is stable and doesn’t need bolting down. It is ideal for small projects, I managed to achieve a high level of accuracy on timber and Perspex. I wouldn’t rely on the angle gauge on the machine apart from being a rough guide. I haven’t had it long so cannot comment on long term reliability yet but so far so good. Very pleased with the purchase

Bought this to grind and shape my custom made knives. It is a great little machine once set up it easily deals with all kinds of hobby grinding I have used it on wood, metal, kydex, plastic and horn with no problem. Only small niggle is belt changing requires removal of base plate and safety cover which is a bit fiddly. If your after a grinder for your hobby work that won't break the bank but will get a decent job done this is a great starter bit of kit.
