Picked up a NIB HF carbide tool grinder

[lafester]

These have been discontinued for awhile now, and the grizzley version is $300. This one seems to be good enough to use until I come across a delta worth buying.

Anyone still using one of these beasts? I figured it was worth a shot for $75. I've seen a few pop up before but they were always priced too high.

I think for $75 that's a YOU ****!
I think it was Keith Fenner on You Tube did a video on balancing an Asian import grinder that was vibrating from new. it wasn't that difficult of a repair as I recall

I'm thinking about getting these Shars wheels but I don't see any reviews on them.

Yeah I watched that video again today. Mine only vibrates a little but I'll look into it when I get new wheels.

I haven't bought diamond wheels from Shars, but I've bought endmills from them, and I bought a 4-jaw chuck from them once. I have been satisfied with all of those purchases.

The chuck was actually of surprisingly high quality for an amazing price.

Just got the Shars wheels installed. I had to get some longer bolts since the aluminum wheel mount is thicker then the stock steel one. Also, since the face of the wheels are 1/4 inch narrower I had to raise the tables a bit with some washers in order to move them in that close. That seems to be a design flaw since the tables are supposed to be able to adjust in as the wheels wear down.
