Hi Dan:
That looks to be the twin to my craftsman which works fine.Mind you I paid a heck of a lot more for it than the listing you posted

Unless you are planning to use a wire wheel in it, I would cough up the extra dough for a belt/disc combo. Or at the least, a belt attachment for one side of the grinder. I have a large Rockwell unit at work with a 6 inch belt and a 10 inch disc and I love it!

Hmm. I do not want to take up a large amount of space on the work bench with the unit. How big is it and can you post a link?

Thanks.

Here would be a decent homeowner version made by multitool at www.vansantent.com . I am sure there are probably other manufacturers.

The one we have at work is more like this:



I am sure it is a pretty penny, but they can sometimes be found used.

I mount mine on a little shelf outside of the shop door..works great tossing crap all over the place and not in the shop!!, toss a garbage over it with a bungy and forget it tell next time.
