    Baldor Bench Grinder question(s)

    I assume you were referring to the grinder (current model), correct? If so, yeah, I may not have looked at the exact right model number. Their catalog is a bit cryptic, so you're probably right. In any case, they're a lot more than most standard crummy box store grinders. Not a bad score for...

    Baldor Bench Grinder question(s)

    Much appreciated! Let me figure out what I want this thing to look like. I don't think I'm looking for something terribly complicated, just a basic rest. The Baldor wheel guard does have a bit of a weird angle at the bottom, so I want to make sure I get the geometry on the 2, possibly 3...

    Baldor Bench Grinder question(s)

    Thanks for the replies! I'll poke around on ebay and see what I can find. I looked a while back, but didn't see much. I'd looked at ones similar to the veritas one previously, but those really want to mount on a bench in front of the grinder. I'd like to get my grinder set up on a free...

    Best Shop Vac model ever made?

    A little late to the party here, but wanted to weigh in on a couple vacs also. I have several shop vacs (as do many of us). One is the old Craftsman almost identical to the one pictured above. No idea how old it is, but probably 80's vintage. Inherited it from my Dad who was a lifelong...

    Awaiting Approval?

    I'm a noob here (not new to forums though). I recently posted a thread in general tools about some questions on a Baldor grinder I have. My thread has a banner at the top which says "Awaiting approval before being posted publicly". I assume this is a result of my low post count and being a...

    Baldor Bench Grinder question(s)

    I have a couple questions about a Baldor Grinder I have, but I want to tell a quick funny story first. First off, I am not a grinder expert (engineer and contractor, but just don't know a whole lot about different grinders). So, I've had a grinder which was gifted to me probably about 45 years...

    Mid - Low range brushless failures?

    I'm not sure what conclusion I should draw from your reply. Should I infer that this is the place for the final word on statistical relevance of anything and everything? Or, should I conclude that valid questions can only come from members with 2,621 total posts? And, how exactly does post...

    Mid - Low range brushless failures?

    I agree. Oh, I'm not suggesting it is frequent, but rather just attempting to see if there is any trend here, or if my recent discussions are just coincidence. Brushless tool reliability is one of the top selling points for brushless technology in cordless tools (the other being added...

    Mid - Low range brushless failures?

    Brushless seems to be all the rage now in cordless tools. Seems to be "Go brushless...or go home", when I talk with people about cordless tools anymore. Then recently (last 6 months or so), several colleagues have mentioned how their brushless tools just failed one day. Almost all of these...

    Hi all, new here from Colorado

    Hi All I'm new here. Keep seeing Garage Journal show up in my searches for tool and construction related information. Also keep seeing GJ show up in my searches to find unbiased review information, so I figured rather than lurk, I should pull up a chair and say hello. Live in Colorado, work...
