Customers are mixed about the durability of the tool. Some mention that it has impressive power yet is not noisy, while others say that not grinding smoothly causes glass to chip and break. The grinder bit just eats up and shreds the sponge almost immediately, and the bit chews the glass and chips the edges.

I also like the fact that it is easy to maintain & clean, and I can see getting another bit for doing fine corners and maybe even some drilling. Also, the unit is well designed as the water and grit residue from grinding never comes in contact with any moving parts. The only design change I can see making would be putting the drain hole right in the corner. It is located under the work area shelf, about 3/4" at a 45 degree angle inside from the upper left corner, facing the machine. Cleaning is still easy, but having this hole in the actual corner, you'd be able to lift the machine slightly and the water and mess would go in the hole without pooling up at all. Something for the Gryphon people to think about, if they haven't already done so on another model machine. Otherwise, an excellent purchase, and investment.
I took it into the local glass shop so he could help understand why my glass was getting so much white ground glass build up.
The sponge does not carry ”up” the water like they state it does in the description/explanation of how it works. I had to completely remove the eye shield and use a folded sponge (because you can’t adjust it properly with the eye shield in place due to grid positioning.
After all of that modifying; plus plugging the drain hole to help the water stay in the reservoir it finally would grind with no build up.
Now I am looking for a straight edge tool (SET) and trying to find one to this grinder has not been an easy task.
I’ve spoke to several sellers and so far they all explain to me that none of them work in this grinder. Gryphon had the plan to create their own grinder AND it’s own accessories for that grinder. Great business plan I will agree. However, the company decided, after the grinder was sold to NOT continue forward with their original plan and so they then stopped all production in any and all accessories.
I have spent a great deal of money on this grinder and I am quite frustrated with the whole process of being nothing but let down on a very pricey piece of equipment.
