Einhell TH-BG 150 Bench Grinder | 2980 RPM, 150mm x 16mm Coarse and Fine Grinding Wheels (K36/K60) | Electric Bench Grinder Polisher For Grinding, Polishing And Sharpening

Very good price Very good product does everything its supposed to do

This is listed on Amazon as the TH-BG model (dating from 2014, but very good reputation, the only entry-level grinder that I knew of with a heavy turned-metal stone support flange - rather than a flimsy pressed-metal flange which makes wheel balancing a nightmare). But I actually received the newer TC-BG 2023 model. Significant re-design (smaller diameter shaft, different spark guards, etc) but seems just as good. Even Einhell are confused by this - their webpage for the TC model sometimes refers to the older TH model, bad copy-paste fail

Bought this Einhell Bench Grinder to sharpen my Roughneck wood axes which were completely blunt when purchased.Upon delivery I noticed the box rattled significantly and when I opened it and one of the grinding discs was loose and rattling around in the enclosure.I re-assembled it and have since used it twice. The mechanism and build quality is quite good and it has done a great job of sharpening the axes. However, on the second use, the same disc that was rattling around worked itself loose. Perhaps I did not tighten it enough so am willing to give it the benefit of the doubt (will see with future use if that disc comes loose again).Overall, not bad for the price and more than adequate for a DIYer.

Good

As people say not the most powerful of grinders - so don't expect it to work miracles - horses for courses - but its a really good tool for the price and is well constructed.. Being 'standard' 6" discs is great as easy to swap out for a polishing or brass wire disc and shop around for spares - I use the grinder for grinding down some pretty tough minerals/stones and bronze/copper pieces etc. for jewellery purposes and for polishing - all of which it does admirably - it manages fine. It is relatively low noise (remember its a grinder and not a fan though!) in operation too which is helpful in a domestic based workshop. All in all a very good piece of kit which I'm pleased I purchased.

Works fine now that I have replaced most of the nuts & bolts to the covers to the stones, at my expense, because they wouldn't post me the required amount from Germany or Austria, wherever, even although I am in France. Not very good Customer Service & Quality Control in my opinion. I'll just have to see how long it lasts

Perfect for my needs but very weak. Can be stopped with very little pressure on the wheels. For what it is, it runs quietly and the rubber feet on the base help reduce vibration transfer to the worktop, further reducing noise. At this price point, I can’t complain about it being a weak motor. I’ve replaced sharpening wheels with polishing pads as I have other diamond stones. Great little hobby device and cheap and cheerful.

The motor is quiet and well balanced but lacks the power, sometimes needed in a workshop so I would deem this to be a DIY bench grinder not for the semi or full professional in need of a grinder. Polishing mop works well.
