  • This could have been good for the price but it had several manufacturing issues like warped and bent brush guides, brush wires pinched buy the brush springs, loose spindle bevel gear that wobbled, short gearbox screws that will loosen quickly.
    I go through fixing all these issues in this video and making it a grinder worth owning.

    I had one of the semi-legendary "Chicago Electric" blue grinders they used to sell. I put a lot of hours on that thing, until one day, it decided to eject bits of its gears out of the vent slots in the gearbox, along with a cloud of smoke. I couldn't do anything but laugh. I'd gotten my money's worth.

      I'm currently using a blue paddle trigger version of the CE grinder that I bought at an estate sale for $8. Its the cutoff tool in a 4 grinder lineup .

    I watched more than a few Bauer 7" grinder videos. I should have watched yours first. I wouldn't have wasted so much time. Yours is the most informative. Aprreciate it.

    Many years ago I bought a smaller angle grinder @ HF . The brand was "Drill Master." I tjhink that was their cheapest power tool line. It looked like a very unrefined POS and in a way it was. But there was some kind of crazy deal and it was only $5 so I figured how could i go wrong? I still have it, it still works, but I admit I don't use it for the really heavy duty stuff. But for $5 I am satisfied.

    My store the discounts are almost nothing. I have the $10 special. Cooked the first one. Need to give it rest after every couple of minutes.

    I have the Bauer brushless one I got off the table. It works fine. The guy told me it was never used. Opened it at the counter and brick or concrete dust plume waft out. He gave me a bit of a discount on top. That store is OK

    This grinder did not work with a dust shroud. When I attached a dust shroud the cup would lock up, and wouldn't move. Had to return it. I think HF gets these tools from China, and there's no quality inspection.

    That's super poor fitment of that shaft, gear and key.
