Grown Up Grinder 4 stars
By byjoanna on February 8, 2012 - See all my reviews
Pros : Large surface is handy, love the tool drawer, can actually find things. Light weight also. Grinds quickly.
Cons : Needs a splash guard and something underneath. Gives off a lot of water on regular surface but so do the others.
Other Thoughts : The 1" bit that came on it wasn't on tight and it seized so had to use DW40 to pull it off. Should have taken it off and put back on when got grinder. But really like it.

Awsome! 5 stars
By JulieLarson on July 5, 2011 - See all my reviews
Pros : I love this grinder! It is versatile and easy to use. The upper deck is great when using the small bits. I was able to drill holes in my fused glass work with very little effort and much less complicated than using a diamond drill bit. The storage drawer is a nice addition.
Cons : None that I can think of.

All- Star is a Star! 5 stars
By bilrob69 on June 22, 2010 - See all my reviews
Pros : Nice large area to work on no matter how big your project is. Great at grinding right into your glass no matter how thick it is as the motor is very strong. It has a drain plug and I do not need to move the grinder to drain it as I drain it at the work bench right into a pitcher, I have had four grinders and this one is the Cadillac of them all!
Cons : Gets area a bit wet
Other Thoughts : Keep it Clean and rinse out though the drain plug.

For Beginners 5 stars
By katifree on October 11, 2011 - See all my reviews
Pros : If you don't need to save money on a grinder go for this one. With my cutting skills as a beginner it is a life saver! In the shop where I am learning we use the smaller studio grinders, and it takes forever to get rid of the excess material, while my fingers get cut on the glass by pushing it against the grinder for an extensive period of time. This grinder just blows through the glass in the matter of seconds. Wonderful!
Cons : The only thing that was hard for me is to put the grinder together. The instructions were made to someone who knows what are the different parts of the grinder. There is no picture of the parts with the names under it, so I felt rather intimidated. (No step by step how to put it together pictures either). You need to go and figure out yourself and screw the eyeshield holder into the base without having premade or indicated holes for them.
Other Thoughts : My cons are insignificant regarding the product and how it works. This grinder makes life easy.

Exceptional Value 5 stars
By garycrider on November 12, 2009 - See all my reviews
Pros : Reliability and power. Ease of cleaning. Compact size and additional table top, with pump, for small bit grinding.A real workhorse worth every penny.
Cons : The straight edge guide could be redesigned to simply "plug in" to the table top.
Other Thoughts : Much better than all others, in performance, design, and value.

Excellent and easy to use! 4 stars
By EverettJoe on October 2, 2009 - See all my reviews
Pros : Best all around grinder! Has the power and performance to top the rest in hobby or pro! The pump squirts water on the small bit which is why I bought it for using it to clean up the inside of glass letters. You can direct the spray right on the bit!
Cons : just the way the glass protective shield is mounted is a mystery to me at first glance. Also, the roller guide is hard to figure out how to assemble at first take.
Other Thoughts : Best on the market well worth the price!
