 Looks good but that's the only thing good about it!, August 14, 2014

This thing is about useless. It runs to fast to polish and it has no power. The slightest pressure will stall it out. I should have know better!

Motor failed after 8 months, August 28, 2010
By Hans F. Von Milla (Paxton, Florida)

I used this buffer primarily for sharpening/honing edge tools, and did a little buffing of steel and copper. It worked well for eight months (estimated usage one to two hours per week), and then the bearings in the motor started growling like crazy and the motor quit altogether. I see in Grizzly's online catalog that Grizzly has discontinued this item. This is a good decision on Grizzly's part; this buffer isn't up to the standard of other Grizzly tools I've used.

Made In China, October 20, 2008

This buffer was smaller then I expected.
But most disapointing of all was the fact that it is not made in Tiawan but China. And it shows. It obviously is mass produced on a grand scale with very thick sheet metal that is stamped and not forged. The Base is OK. The switch is junk.
Your buffing wheels will have to be perfectly balanced or the buffer will wobble like crazy. I tried bolting it down to my bench to no avail.
If you get too much rubbing compound on one side of the wheel it will wobble and vibrate like crazy.
I have many Grizzly products that are good quality including a 16 inch band saw and a 1x9 belt sander. These products were made in Tiawan not China.
I sent this item back and got charge a restocking fee of 15%.
The shipping is NOT free and quickly brings this item up over $100.00
