Tools and Hardware Reviews of Delta GR250 Shopmaster 6-Inch Bench Grinder with Lamp
Customer Review: Its decent - but not great
Summary: 3 Stars
Before buying this tool I found myself in a common predicament - I needed a grinder with some decent features and I didn't have a lot to spend on it. That being said, I chose this model for the following high points:
1. It has variable speed - mine has worked flawlessly thus far, but I use it at the lowest speed 80% of the time anyway.
2. The worklight is a huge plus - no more straining to see because you are in too much of a hurry to set up a proper light.
3. The combination of white and grey wheels - the "white" wheel does a great job of fine tuning the work done by the "grey" wheel.
Now for the downsides:
1. There is a fair amount of runout in the motor shaft. This doesn't affect what I use this thing for, but I can see where it would be a big issue for some.
2. The tool rests are terrible. If you mount them as instructed there is no way to get them square to the wheels. I had to shim the edges of the mounting brackets with thick washers to come anywhere close to square...
All of that said, I feel that this is not a terrible tool for what it is. I had no problems with assembly (10 minutes) and I find the power of the motor to be very adequate. If Delta were charging $20 less for this thing I would readily give it another star...
