Joseph Mahon –
great machine and quality for price. Customer services was kind and efficient and arrived within a week
jdenward –
Awesome piece of tooling, I’ve had mine for 3 years and I’ve given this thing hell and it just eats everything I’ve thrown at it, small workshop footprint with plenty of grunt has definitely won me over.
k-rad7 –
Quality product. Very solid build and VFD control box setup is excellent – no issues even when grinding for hours in the shed during hot weather.
Adam –
Fantastic machine – Very well built, powerful, and versatile. I’m glad I went with the Variable speed model, being able to run different speeds for different attachments and grinding operations is a huge advantage
