Tools and Hardware Reviews of DELTA GR450 ShopMaster 8-Inch Grinder
Customer Review: Absolute Junk
Summary: 1 Stars
I recently purchased this product with the expectation that it would perform basic tasks in an acceptable manner given that its price was well-below high-end grinders such as the Baldor.
It failed miserably.
After running for less than 5 minutes, the machine began to make a very loud chattering noise ... like a bad bearing. Turning it off and then on again the noise ceased, came back and then it started to smoke! The motor housing was extremely hot. After at least an hour, it was still too hot to touch. Needless to say, I returned it.
I own several Delta power tools: X5 jointer, drill press, mortising machine, planer, hybrid table saw and am relatively happy, although I'm trading up to a SawStop and wouldn't consider a Delta bandsaw.
This grinder should be avoided ... it deserves zero stars.
