PARKSIDE BENCH GRINDER USER REVIEW 

A very worthwhile video. Thank you.

(1:33) - "There's a book of words" Love it ! >

Lost the temper on the first process 😂😂😂

Its a bit hit and miss when sharpening with any grinder unless you have a means of clamping the tool for removing and replacing with the critical angles involved for accurate honing. This feature is found on the more expensive machines as you would expect. Remember, a sharp chisel is a safe chisel when used properly, a blunt one is dangerous if you need to force the cut. When you place your chisel or planing blade on your flat oil stone for the final honing look for the depression it makes in the oil/paraffin mix ratio 2 to 1 approx. That is now correctly placed, lift 5 degrees and press lightly covering all the stone for even wear. When you feel a burr on the back turn it over and finish with one movement keeping it flat to remove the burr. Yes it takes practice good luck.

The price reflects the quality when you compare to machines far more expensive. Treat it as a diy machine and not in anyway a professional machine. There is so much more to sharpening than guessing the angle you grind. This is an honest review by a person who knows his limited knowledge of sharpening.

Thanks a lot, very valuable indeed

Still like it 2 years later? I just ordered one for my dull knives.

gracias maestro

Thank you, good content!

Nice video. Which one is the best for knifes sharpening? The slow wet or fast one? Thanks

I would never use the Max water level. U really don't need to but I wanted to ask u a question if u have a moment my friend. Q. Do u know if it's at all possible to change the Wet Stone wheel out for a Diamond Wheel ?? I really want to know if that is possible man. I bought one of these in my local Lidl and I have to say for the 45 euros it cost it's great. I bought it to put a belt sander on the other side of the Wet stone but I'm also going to look into changing that stone out for a diamond stone maybe if it's possible like I said earlier in my comment. I enjoyed ur video so I sub'd & liked man. I will check into moreof ur videos as well bcos I liked what I saw in the opening to this video. Intro was cool. Was that round a piece of stone work? That was amazing looking my friend. Is that ur business or just a hobby? It looked brilliant. It was also great to see a review/unboxing where u actually used the tool as well. Keep up the great work pal. Take it easy.

I bought one today and i noticed the motor is getting very very hot. I see you touch the motor 2 or 3 times. Is that because it was hot too?

Very good video!!!

I also bought this as an impulse buy, but not sure it's fit for my purpose. I need it to grind down pottery glazes that drip in places I don't want them to. I am thinking this will not work for that purpose - ie it's like grinding glass and/or stone.

this benchgrinder is a huge piece of brown stuff, that bigger stone on the left, the shaft that holds that heavr stone dous not even have bearings, the shaft is posistioned in the rubbish plastic housing that is simpley not strong enough for the job.

Hi, Thanks for showing this grinder. I'm thinking of buying one of this style. One thing I'd say about grinding any kind of cutting edge, be it a chisel or a lathe tool, is to grind 'into' the cutting edge, as opposed to having the grinding wheel/stone dragging off of the edge. This will results in a stronger more uniform edge that will last longer. I don't know if you are into metal working at all. Even if not, I would highly recommend this video by Robin Renzetti, a master machinist/tool-maker: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EECJA2ZUVjg.html&t It's about hand scraping cast iron machine parts/tooling into precise flatness/squareness. It goes into sharpening the carbide scraper blade, but the principles also apply to steel cutting edges. Watch from minutes 9:50 if only interested in the bit about sharpening.
