| Subject: | Bench grinder vs Buffer |
--> RV8-List message posted by: "Chris Stone" <Chris.Stone@a-dec.com>
I bought a 6" grinder from Home Depot, removed the guard from one side and replaced
the grinding wheel with a Scotchbrite wheel. Works great for dressing edges.

Subject: RV8-List: Bench grinder vs Buffer
--> RV8-List message posted by: "Will & Lynda Allen" <linenwool@attbi.com>
I'm needing to get something that's faster than using sand paper and files
and am looking for some feedback on the less expensive Bench Grinder vs the
Buffer. Is there anything that the Buffer will do that the grinder won't?
The only difference I can see is that the grinder has the guards that might
be in the way but I would think I could take those off if needed. And I'm
assuming I can use all the same attachments for the grinder ie: scotch
bright wheel, wire brush wheel, etc.
Thanks,
Will Allen
North Bend, Wa.
