3in. Variable Speed Grinder, August 11, 2008
By CraigNev from Warwick RI

"Excellent small grinder! Very portable for those of you that would want to take it with you. I myself keep it next to my lathe for quick touch ups on my lathe chisels. The flexible drive for small rotary grinding and sanding tools is a real plus. In my rather cramped woodworking space this tool has been a real plus. Small in size, easy to move out of the way when not needed and versatile."

Good little grinder, April 21, 2008
By Jaymo from Stockbridge, GA

"I bought this one to keep in my service van because my 8" bench grinder is simply to big to lug around at the jobsite. I often need to dress my punches and regrind my chisels, which this little grinder does with no problem. I especially like the polishing wheel, which I've found to be equally as useful in the field as the grinding wheel. An online retailer used to sell one like this but went out of business a few years back. I always wanted one of these for smaller grinding jobs, and was thrilled when I saw this in the Northern retail store. I bought it on the spot and used it that same day. It was actually more powerful than I expected."

Everything I expected., January 22, 2008
By arleigh2 from New Jersey

"For years I had bounced between the need/desire to have a grinder in my shop and the sensible argument to myself that I wouldn't use very much. This small tool is a perfect compromise because it doesn't have to be bolted down like a larger grinder would have to be.

The other attraction was the flexible shaft attachment, since I don't have one for my Dremel tool. I expect the portability to be an advantage here too, since I can easily bring the grinder to the job rather than the other way round. (For example, I plan to remove some grout in the bathroom with it.)

One frustration that worked out fine -- the nut for attaching the flexible shaft is plastic and the threaded end of the motor housing where it attaches is metal. Apparently there was a slight amount of shinkage when the nut was molded so that it was difficult for me to get it screwed on without cross-threading. Took a while but it finally went on."
