Broken Lens
Item looks like quality for the most part. Like many other reviews, mine came with a cracked eye protecter with a hairline crack about 3 inches long. I am sure it will eventually spread during use to the point it breaks. I wish Skil would have used better quality lens material for an important safety feature.I cannot comment on performance or durability as I just unboxed and have not tested yet. Wish me luck and anyone from Skil that would like to send me a replacement lens...or two...I would greatly appreciate it as it is not worth sending entire item back to Amazon for a replacement...which would probable have a worse cracked lens. :0

Style: 6'' Bench GrinderVerified Purchase
I found this bench grinder on sale for only $31 (at the time) and saw it had pretty good reviews on it so it was a no brainier to give it a try. I've owned/used SKIL tools before and had positive experiences with them so I was confident. The overall build quality is solid other than the shields being a bit cheap although they do function as needed. There are rubber feet on the bottom of the base which work well to dampen vibrations. Bolted it down to my workbench and it is rock solid, no odd noises, rattling, or excessive vibration. It makes easy work of sharpening blades and works great with polishing and wire wheels too. This grinder is great, and for the price obviously it isn't going to be industrial grade but for your average home shop its definitely sufficient, especially for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy, Quiet, and Powerful
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2013
Style: 6'' Bench GrinderVerified Purchase
I've only used my grinder once (just got it), but so far I'm very impressed. The first thing I noticed is that it's very quiet -- almost silent, in fact. The next thing I noticed is that it's very solidly built. A few years back, I bought a smaller bench grinder from a discount store. It did OK, but I really notice the difference between that El Cheapo grinder and this Skil brand. The Skil feels like it could tackle almost any job with ease. Another thing I like is the rubber feet on the Skil. I don't have a work bench to mount the grinder to, so I was worried that I'd have a problem using it. Would it feel unsteady if it wasn't bolted down? The good news is, it DOES NOT feel unsteady -- thanks to the gripping power of the rubber feet, and to the heft of the grinder. I can imagine if one were doing very heavy-duty grinding, it would be best for the grinder to be bolted down. But I intend to use it for sharpening tools, knives, etc., so I think it will be fine just sitting on a countertop. I'm pretty safety-conscious when it comes to using powerful electric tools, so I wouldn't consider using it like this if it didn't feel right. But I have the sense that you'd quickly notice if the grinder were shifting or at all becoming unsteady. (By the way, the instruction booklet shows how you can bolt the grinder to a piece of plywood, and then use a couple of C clamps to temporarily secure it to your countertop. I'll go that route if the free-standing arrangement doesn't work out.) The point is, the grinder is working for me even though I don't have a proper workshop to use it in. That should be a "plus" for those considering a grinder but unsure about where they can use it.

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2017
Style: 6'' Bench GrinderVerified Purchase
This seems to be an inexpensive grinder compared to some of the other brands, but the quality seems good. I mounted this on a piece of wood and then screwed the piece of wood into my bench for temporary use. I've only used it twice, but it works great. I then take out the two screws and put it away. The rest works fairly well, but it seems like if it was adjustable and I could set an angle to it, then I might get better sharpening. That being said, I tried to be as steady as I can and I'm happy with the results.

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2019
Style: 6'' Bench GrinderVerified Purchase
Purchased last week, and sharpened two axes yesterday - works fine, no issues as reported in negative reviews. Possibly some of those problems could be avoided if users would read the manual. One note is that the tool rests could be designed with a better range of adjustment, but they are sturdy. I doubt I will ever use the coarse grinding wheel; may replace it with a wire wheel. Great value for the money for occasional use.

Great for sharpening tools, chisels, lawn mower blades, even removing dried paint or drywall mud from spatulas.

I wish the wheels rotated up during operation rather than down, as it would be easier to sharpen blades.

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2019
Style: 6'' Bench GrinderVerified Purchase
Make sure all the bolts and nuts are tight before using. There are bolts through the guards over the grind wheels with lock washers and nuts to hold them together. The first time I used it, one nut on the back out of sight vibrated off. Simple phillips screwdriver and wrench to tighten them, so check them when you are assembling the front tool rests that uses the same size bolts. Otherwise, I like the simplicity of this model. The guards and tool rests aren't overly large and complex like some other models (Ryobi for example). It still has a small LED in each guard, but they are pretty weak. I didn't even know they were there from the pictures and thought a I was getting a grinder without lights, so I am not disappointed in how dim they are, but mine mounts on a cart that I usually take out in the sun to sharpen mower blades. Regardless, don't expect much from the LEDs. Takes 2 of your own bolts through the base to mount it on a bench or cart.

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2021
Style: 6'' Bench GrinderVerified Purchase
This is a good unit for casual home use. It's not super powerful and will bog down, but if you give it a second, it comes back to speed to finish the job. I knew this when I bought it and bought it anyway. It has worked just fine for me. I've used it for some light metal grinding. I installed a wire wheel on one side (purchased separately). I'm happy with my purchase and believe I got the right tool for my needs.

3.0 out of 5 stars vibration problem
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2021
Style: 6'' Bench GrinderVerified Purchase
This unit vibrates. I ordered this bench grinder as a second unit the exact same brand and model to install wire wheels. I installed both bench grinders on newly ordered cast iron bases. This grinder vibrated heavily with the pre-installed stone grinder wheels. My first bench grinder I've had for years runs as smooth as glass. I replaced the stone wheels from this new order with new wire wheels and it still vibrates, so the motor itself must be out of balance. I ordered thick vibration dampening feet for the three leg cast iron bases and hoping this will make it tolerable.
