Anyone have any opinion on the Delta 8" variable speed grinder


Hi Denis, I have the 6in. variable speed Delta grinder and it works just fine for me. I had to do a little modification on the base due to the mounting holes being in the way when I tried to mount my wolverine grinding jig base. The base juts out so that the jig base can't be centered directly beneath the wheel, so with a lot of grinding of the base and new bench mounting holes drilled, it works great now. Also, I removed the guards from the left side of the unit and now have an 8" wheel to use with the wolverine. The 6" is also much cheaper than the

8" Hope this helps.

I think it is not the brightest idea in the world to operate a high speed grinder without a protective cover. A wheel disintegrating at 4000 rpm will act much like a fragmentation grenade.
