I got a bad product.
I bought this variable speed grinder to polish some stainless steel and aluminum because a guy that I worked for had the same unit and he polished his big-rig wheels with it. I also used it a lot and loved the monster torque that the grinder has.I ordered one and started polishing some stainless steel with it. Before long, i could smell burning wires...Maybe this was normal, I though, after all it is brand new and maybe needs to "wear in" or something.That wasn't the case. I smelled burning wires for quite some time (and no, I wasn't putting too much of a load on the grinder) and I could even see smoke coming out of it after I would get done using it.One day after having it for about a month, and maybe putting a total of 5-10 hours on the grinder, it finally bit the dust.There was a pretty awful grinding noise and sparks started shooting out of the side of the motor and I knew something was wrong.

Awsum tool
This grinder cranks!! This is a VERY powerful tool and I bought (separately) pads and sanding discs. I have been very pleased with this tool.

Big tool for big jobs
The 6078 grinder/sander with a 9" grinding wheel is a force to be respected! I've used it to clean up welds, cut metal, sand and also to buff out a boat hull. This is a heavy tool, you will feel your arms at the end of the day! Its weight along with the centrifical force generated by the 9" wheel work together to steady the cut. The variable speed comes in handy to match the tool to the job.
