Grinder/wire wheel

[GarageGuy89]

Looking for an upgrade. Old one is starting to go out. Have bought two cheapo ones at the big box stores (only to return them) because they take for ever to get up to speed and wind down, and did I mention they are sissies compared to my old one?

Who makes a decent one that can handle a real man's garage?

What JZiggy said. ^^

Look for ones that look like these ----

Round-Top 1/2-HP

Flat-Top 1/2-HP

See the links in my signature line for more information and see the "let's see your craftsman block grinders" thread for lots of restores, etc ....

Make your own from an old motor and arbor adapters.
