I have had one for years, works great. You can turn it off and come back after lunch and it is still spinning. Only bad thing about it is it throws sparks when grinding metal.Well after calming down went out this morning took the guard completely off and straightened . Machine was better than my grizzly. None other in stock. Spins forever when turning off. All the other are 1/3 hp. this is 1/2 hp.
Yup - that’s the right approach to HF - you get what you pay for, so look at what you’re getting ready to buy cuz that’s what they’re selling you! I’ve bought sandpaper, brushes, clamps, and a few router bits and can’t really complain. Wouldn’t buy any power tools...HF is totally hit or miss. Before I buy anything from them, I go to the website and read the reviews. To HF's credit they don't seem to delete any of them - so you get good, bad and really f*$Kin bad ones. This allows me to avoid the bad products. There is also a lot chatter about things to watch out for. Also, I always open the box up before I leave so I can avoid driving home with damaged or otherwise bad product.
I'm literally 10 minutes from one but having to do a round trip to get a replacement is a PITA.
I know some people won't touch HF but if I can get a usable tool for 1/4 or less the cost of the higher end ones, I'll certainly consider it. And if it's for a limited project, I see no reason to drop top $$$ on a high end one.
I couldn't find any outlets on the wall to plug it into. But when I got home and plugged it in in it ran like a Swiss Miss.got to test scrutinize their stuff before you get to the cash register...
A Swiss Miss? Huh? (I hope that is a clean reference...)I couldn't find any outlets on the wall to plug it into. But when I got home and plugged it in in it ran like a Swiss Miss.
