I appreciate the feedback and suggestions. Lucked out and came home from my in-laws yesterday from chipping tree limbs with a delta bench grinder from probably around 2000-2005. Not heavy duty but sufficient for my needs after i put a wire wheel on it yesterday. Needs the stones dressed badly

Excellent. For anyone else who's looking, I don't hesitate to buy Harbor Freight tools when they're good, but their bench grinders are absolute garbage. Avoid them and buy something else.

I've had the same 1/2hp bench grinder since the mid 90s. It's an ACE hardware brand that I bought from a local feed and farm supply, and been a good one. I put new bearings in it about 7-8 years ago. It has gotten used a lot, and I mean a lot.
