Hi All,After two years I thought I'd dig out the new power tools I bought and use them :) The Ryobi BHG825 8", 3/4hp, 3.1amp, bench grinder is an ok machine. Turns at 3400rpm, comes with a 36 and 60grit 5/8" arbor wheels and a tool rest with a drill bit "V" cut into the right hand rest. That works very well for sharpening drill bits. The longer the bit the easier it is to sharpen. I won't be buying a drill doctor after all. HD had the grinder for $60 on sale. Once at rpm theres very little viberation and I think whats there is caused by the 36grit wheel being out of balanced. I'll take that off and put on a sanding disc as thats what I bought it for. I wish now I would have bought two of them. I really didn't think they would be that good of quality tho. The Millwaukee 14" chop saw is evrything I expected from my Millwaukee tools, great quality. 1.5amp, 1" arbor, max 3.75"od pipe, 5x5 tube. Don't try this at home kids, as I mounted two Norton blades on the arbor at the same time to make a special 1/4" wide cut in 3/4" plate. Worked like a dream although the cut is 5/16" wide it'll work this time. It didn't even bog the motor down and that suprised me as I questioned the 1.5amp motor rating when I bought it. T_Bone
