TruePower 3" Mini Bench Grinder Polisher with Long Flexible Shaft

i bought this thing half expecting for it to be junk but it really is a nice little (VERY little) bench to grinder. its definitely not for heavy use but i have used it on decent gauge metal and as long as you dont try to hog out too much material at once, it will do the job. the flex shaft was a very pleasant surprise. it really doesn't bog down much at all when in use.... i see this more as a decent flex shaft tool that happens to have a grinder and buffing wheel attached to it haha. all jokes aside i am pleased with this product. it is definitely not for heavy use but for people with very little space or hobbies that require small precise work this would work great!

I use this as a sharpening station for putting super sharp edges on my woodcarving knives. I did not attach the rotary tool and took off both wheels so that I could put on a wooden wheel with leather glues to the edge and a cloth brush wheel on the other. This setup is fantastic and with the variable speed capability of the unit, it allows me to get the right speed for various knife, v-tool and gouge sharpening. The unit has worked very well for me since I got it recently.

Considering the full range of multi grinders this is a 1 star unit. However, considering the price, it gets 4 stars. Took off one star because you have to adjust the speed knob nearly halfway up before it starts turning at all and it also tends to slide around if left on a smooth surface while running at full speed. Very low torque, as expected, but it is great for small jobs once the speed us up a bit.

Just remember that this is not very big but for our use… it’s perfect. My dad likes to sharpen his chisels and knives for wood carving. I use it for sanding rocks and buffing handmade jewelry. Great value for $50. Never heard of this manufacturer but much nicer than the junk at harbor freight.

Bogs down with slightest pressure; which makes the variable speed kind of useless, you have to set the speed on high so it doesn't completely stop. Very small work areas because of the housing design. Works great for small, LIGHT duty projects. I get enough use out of it, otherwise it wouldn't be worth the cost.

I have a large grinder in my shed, but as I have a small work area in my basement, I was looking for a small grinder for there as well. This little 3" grinder really fits the bill, and I use it more than the larger one I have. It does just about everything I need and more. For the price and it's performance, it's the BOSS. Hell, it does everything, but make breakfast. SUPER!

My one tip before you buy would be to understand what you are getting; this thing is very small so don't buy it then complain that there's no room to work on it. It's a 3" wheel people. That being said I got a diamond grit cutting wheel and have been using this to cut down glass covers for light fixtures at my work. Instead of buying the "correct" part for $50 a piece I got some that were close for $7 on Grainger and about 5-10 minutes work to grind off a good bit from the edges and we're in business. No problems with the speed adjustment or the flexible attachment on mine.

Nice little grinder/polisher I bought for my wife to polish metal jewelry she creates. I put a 3" buffing wheel on and it worked terrific. It was difficult to tighten the nuts on the wheel since there is no shaft lock and putting a wrench on the opposite wheel nuts only result in loosening one as you tighten the other. However, after about an hour of total run time...it quit. I could get it to start by turning it on and spinning the wheel by hand for a couple turns, but after a few starts, the wouldn't work either. I replaced the brushes with the replacements they provided and that worked for another few starts, but then it failed again. Amazon Customer Product Support was a joke. They asked the most ridiculous questions...obviously reading from a script. Due to a family emergency, we did not get to use the grinder for more than 30 days from when I ordered it and Amazon would not accept a return. They did, however, connect me with the manufacturer. Their representative was terrific and they sent me a replacement right away and told me to keep the inoperative unit. We haven't used the replacement yet, so we don't know if it will work or not.

Lo quiero para pulir monedas, y esta excelente

I received the branch grinder different from the stock picture, however, it works and looks better than I expected. Seem to be good quality

Muy buen artículo. Pequeño, no ocupa mucho espacio y funciona perfecto. Los accesorios que trae son suficientes para hacer lo escencial.

Nice unit, works well, very quiet compared to our larger grinder. I will be sharpening a lot of chisels and carving tools.
