Power Tool Accessories Reviews

This is a great grinder for the beginner. It is a Bench Grinder that does not use up your bench space. It has it's own stand, which is included. It is very good for most jobs around the shop. Quality is typical of most far east imports. Assembly was very easy. Hardware parts were very oily. If you plan on doing heavy grinding you might consider the 1/2 HP 8" grinder instead. For the price. I like it. First thing I did: used the built in drill guide to sharpen some drill bits. It worked.

This grinder runs smoothly and quietly, quickly getting up to full rotational speed. Installing and adjusting the tool rests and protective shields was fairly easy, although the shields seemed a little flimsy. The integrated lamp I find of limited use when the work area is already well-lit, and some folks may find it to be in the way if they choose not to use it.

I've lusted for one of these for years. I finally got it and was eager to make that first cut after spending 8 hours assembling the saw, fence, mobile base, outfeed table and Deluxe Uniguard. I thought I'd check the blade runout, first, just to make sure....It measured .115" difference across the width of my 10" "set and sand" CMT alignment blade blank as measured from the right side miter slot. That's almost an eighth of an inch! It required loosening the table from the base, plus the trunnions from the top, to realign the blade with the miter slots. Took six hours. I'd always thought that Delta alignment "out of the box" was legendary....If this is what you get from a Premium American Manufacturer, maybe I'll go Taiwanese next time. ... Also the particle board extension table was so badly warped across the narrow dimension that I had to put (4) 1-1/2" angle iron supports under it to get it reasonably flat. Otherwise the fence would not make the transition from table to extension surface.
I still like this saw, and all of the maladies were repairable, however, I get the distinct impression that quality control has taken a back seat to production numbers. The saw still represents a great value, and with careful setup, works magnificently, however, setup took me an entire weekend overall.
The saw assembly is huge, the mobile base is an absolute necessity in my two-car woodshop...The stock guard/splitter assembly (Isn't good), the Deluxe Uniguard is the only way to go, or the pricier Biesemeyer. Everything fitted together very well.

i just got this for my business and i can see that it has a lot of power and it looks resistent. The thing i don't like is the locking key for the disk.

This frame is easy to use and makes into a stationary belt sander fast. It also works vertical and horzional making two machines out of one.

I have never used one of these before I purchased this one. We use pneumatic versions in our shop at work (I'm the shop manager there), to clean up metal surfaces before we reassemble pumps. I bought this grinder with the idea that I would use it for sanding, and specifically to cut a metal frame out of a window in my old house. It did work, but was very hard to control. It is heavy after using for a few minutes. You need both hearing protection and eye protection (ANSI Z71 safety glasses are a must with this thing) to use it safely.

I recommend it for what it is, but if you buy it go slowly and try a few test cuts before jumping into your project, especially if you are a novice at using one of these (like me).

I used this blade on a recent roofing job. To cut a groove in a chimney, while installing some flashing.This blade turns brick into a cloud of red dust leaving a very precise and clean cut. I was more than pleased with the results.Two thumbs up on this blade.From my experience it goes through brick like a hungry monster.I do recommend this blade highly.Now get out there and cut some bricks.

I bought this to cut some holes in a driveway to plant some small trees. It worked jsut fine for that.

Overall nice quality tad above average.

The D-Vise has become one of the more useful pieces of equipment in my Dremel arsenal. Sometimes you need both hands to work the tool, and you need something to secure your crafting piece. Although I feel that just about any good vise would do an adequate job holding my work pieces, the D-Vise does have a few advantages to it that most bench vises lack: it's relatively small, and it can swivel to just about any desirable angle and elevation.

One drawback is that, despite it's relatively small size, the D-Vise wasn't made to be portable. When I'm doing Dremel tool craft work at various locations, that can be a hindrance. I've gotten around this by securely mounting it to a wide, sturdy two-by-four, and when I need it, I securely vise-grip it to a temporary workbench.
