Woodcraft - Woodcraft- 150780 Bench Grinder
The Woodcraft 150780 bench grinder features tool rests that hold their settings well.
Apr 05, 2012
The Woodcraft grinder has two-piece tool rests with relatively flat but small platforms. The rests and platforms can be adjusted, but the job requires a wrench, which is a hassle. But once dialed in, the tool rests held their settings well. The biggest problem with the Woodcraft in this review is that it vibrated a lot, even after I corrected the wheels for runout and dressed them.
Fine Woodworking Recommended Products
Festool Rotex FEQ-Plus Random Orbital Sander
The Festool Rotex is a top-of-the-line choice. On its coarse setting, it removed stock nearly twice as quickly as the second-fastest model. But that speed doesn’t mean you’ll have to wrestle with it. It’s no huge task to control it with two hands, and its long body gives you plenty of room to find a sweet spot while holding it.
Milwaukee M12 23-Gauge Cordless Pin Nailer
This tool is designed for convenience. The battery and pins are easy to load, and the safety lock operates with the same finger you use to pull the trigger. The depth of set is adjustable, there’s a work light, and there’s a hook for hanging the tool on your toolbelt. A gauge lets you keep track of when you’ll need to recharge.
Fein Turbo II HEPA Wet/Dry Dust Extractor
Among the most powerful HEPA-rated shop vacs on the market, Fein’s Turbo II is quieter, more compact, and nimbler than the rest.
