Dewalt Grinder August 18, 2009

The grinder works as stated. This is the first grinder I owned. Therefore, I need time to try it for a better response. To hold the blade correctly without having the motor in the way, is a problem.
Making the proper angle consistent with the length of the blade needs to be deliberated. The more familiar I am, the better it will be.

This bench grinder was easy to assemble and comes with everything that you need. Used it to sharpen my lawn mower blades and it works excellent.
 Strong Grinder With Bad Wobble May 1, 2009

The grinder seemed to be built strongly. After mounting to my bench and turning on, the grinder had a terrible vibration, enough to make tools vibrate off my work bench. After looking closely, I found that the course wheel was close to an 1/8" out of balance. When I tried to remove the wheel, I found that it was impossible to remove the wheel cover with first unbolting the grinder from my bench due to it having 2 screws that go in from the bottom. I decided to return it and look for a better, more user friendly alternative.
Pros: Seems like a very strong unit. Good tool rests.
Cons: Very bad wheel wobble. Unnecessarily hard to remove/replace the wheels due to the design of the wheel covers.
Dewalt DW756 review October 30, 2008

This was not my favorite Dewalt purchase. It's very difficult to use the grinding wheels as they are located too close to the motor housing. There is not a lot of room to manuever your work. The other downside is that the motor diameter is almost the same as the grinding wheel itself. I installed a 6" diameter wire brush on one side and could not keep the arbor nuts tightened. I should have saved up and Spent the extra money to purchase a Baldor grinder.

This is a good grinder as far as grinders go, but not particularly useful for everyday use. I only use it for sharpening my lawn mower blade. For small jobs, I have switched to a Dremel. I like the idea of clamping a small piece of metal, and then grinding away, rather than having my fingers close to the grinding wheels.
Also, there is no speed control. That means you can not use it to sharpen anything that you care about, as the speed is way too fast.
This is likely the least used tool in my shop.
