Thread: Has anyone used the Wilton Square Wheel Grinder?

After considering doing everything by hand, I have come to the conclusion that with school and work.... I'm not sure I would have time for such endeavors. I would like to thank everyone for their help with the last post and, having weighed all my options, I've decided to save up for a decent sander/grinder and splurge a little bit for something that will last longer and work more effectively than the cheap standard bench grinder from Home Depot.

With that in mind, the Wilton Square Wheel Grinder from Southern Tools or Burr King seems to be viable considering it has a lease option - which is a bonus considering I'm financially limited at this point. Has anyone tried this? Is it suitable for hollow grinding?

In any case, if that doesn't work out, does anyone have any suggestions? If I'm paying in one go, I'm considering anything < $1000 which I can slowly save up for. Anything more is just burning a hole in my pocket...

(If something is going over my head, please let me know. Assembly might not be a option for me as it usually turns my brains to mush...)

And again, thank you
