I bought a Simington grinder and have already learned not to shape wheel in front of my workbench, cause it's now covered with grit.
Had one small problem with the grinder. The knob for the swing arm stop would not fit because the thread was missing. A  thread tap took care of the problem.


I had the same issue.  Both of the stop thread holes were pretty poorly cut.  Cleaned right up.  The chain guide needed to be replaced also.  The .063 guide worked just fine on .050 but the .050 wouldn't take a chain.  The Simington folks were great.  Shipped a new one out very quickly.  Very happy with the unit.  Chains just roll through wood.
