Best 5 inch VS Grinder I've ever used You'll appreciate the soft start especially when working at high grind speeds. That alone would justify the additional cost of this vs. a standard grinder. Blade cover was easy to remove and attach. One of these days I may actually use it. Quality, long power cord with long lasting strain relief. (You know the tool will eventually be carried by the cord.) It has excellent torque for a small motor. Difficult to bog down unless I'm using a large diamond disc.

Nice design The grinder is smooth running and the soft start-up is a pleasant feature. The speed dial offers a large range and is located at the back of the tool where it is not likely to get bumped. The guard is easily attached and removed. It is nicely balanced, even with the additional weight.
