Review: quality product, quality service - This is the second grinder of this model I have purchased. I bought my first when they were first introduced and it has performed flawlessly and continues to perform flawlessly. Wheels are of very good quality, were perfectly balanced and have sharpened many tools over the years. The grinder runs smoothly and quietly and has all the power I have ever needed. I use my grinder principally for grinding lathe tools, so it gets a lot of use. I have other Rikon tools and have been very pleased with all of them. I have had failures a couple of times, and I'm not at all certain that they weren't my fault. When I contacted Rikon's support the response has been immediate and more than satisfactory. In my experience Rikon's customer support has been second to none and is one reason I now favor Rikon tools over those of perhaps better known brands. Review: Excellent grinder with CBN 1 1/2" wheels - I am a wood turner and don't use the supplied tool rests as I use the Wolverine system for sharpening my tools. As i use 1 1 1/2" D-way CBN wheels I also don't keep the wheel covers or the "eye guards". My previous grinder was a Delta VS 8", but it died after about 4 years. I bought a replacement "off the shelf" at a local Lowes, but it was faulty (motor noise). I then researched the web and came up with the Wen and the Rikon. The specs and the reviews on desertcart are similar but I chose the Rikon for a bit more money as one of my correspondents (Dave Schweizer of D-way) had good experience with Rikon. First a comment on VS versus slow speed. I think the part of my Delta that died was the rheostat for varying the speed - were I younger and in a larger shop I might have taken it apart and replaced the rheostat. It was nice to be able to go to 3600 rpm and use my coarser CBN wheel to make major regrinds on tools, but if it shortened the life of my grinder it wasn't worth it. I can go to my belt sander and rough shape the tool by hand. At 1725 my 80 grit CBN allows me to make any radical reshaping I want of a tool in about a half hour, and minor reshapings in 10 minutes. I think the slow speed is the better choice for wood turning tools as the electronics are less complicated and should last longer. Now which slow speed? The CBN wheels are heavier than the composite "stone" wheels so one might think they need more power. This 1/2 HP Rikon brings them up to speed in about six seconds with no motor noise that might indicate strain (that was the fault in my faulty Delta VS). I lose no wheel speed and hear no motor strain when grinding heavily on my course wheel in reshaping with the half horse, I think the 1 horse is an unnecessary expense for my application. May I add that a couple of days ago I had been touching up a tool and then went to test it on the piece I was turning without turning off the Rikon. I was distracted and left my bedroom shop to take care of other things. I came back about three hours later and found the grinder still spinning. I felt the motor cover and the heat wasn't excessive, it had been running the heavy wheels but wasn't straining. BTW, I neglected to turn it off as the free running sound from the grinder is zero (and I have good ears). One caveat, obey the instructions to remove the rubber feet if you are bolting it down. I spent hours setting it up to duplicate the exact height of the wheels above my Wolverine base that I had with the Delta so I could use my home made gauges for my gouges. I made shims under the feet, but it never came out right. OOPS, I made one little error, I forgot that when I tightened down the grinder on the base platform the rubber feet would compress and change the height unevenly. I can't tell you how long this grinder will last, but I can give a pretty good guess that it will be a long time as the lack of motor noise, or change in motor noise under load, suggests a long life. It may not be the best for general grinding, given the negative reviews on the tool rests and such, but it is excellent for my purpose - which is regular use to touch up or regrind wood turning tools. The 1 1/2 CBN wheels fit the arbor, although witn no room to spare. The bolts holding my wheels aren't fully used, but it only about 1/16" shy which is plenty of grip on the wheel.

Best, Jon ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good addition to the shop. *by B***K on January 21, 2020* This slow speed grinder is perfect for sharpening shop tools. I modified this grinder to suit my needs by removing the coarse wheel and moving the fine wheel to the right side. This was done to use the flat tool rest instead of the tool rest designed for drill bits. The fine wheel works well for chisels and plane blades and the 8" diameter works best for the concave needed on the blade bevel. A 10" hard buffing wheel was added to this grinder to add to it's versatility. The buffer is invaluable for finishing the edge on the tools, knives and for polishing my shop tools. If you get the buffing wheel you will also need an adaptor for the arbour, get the metal one. This grinder runs with very little vibration even after adding the buffing wheel. The motor runs cool even after prolonged use. The 1/2hp is more than enough power for my use. ## Frequently Bought Together - RIKON Professional Power Tools, 80-805, 8Ò€ Slow Speed Bench Grinder, Powerful Shop Table Tool, Perfect for Sharpening, With Anti-Vibration Rubber Feet - Peachtree Woodworking Supply Pro Grind Sharpening System for 8 Inch Grinders to Sharpen Lathe Turning Tools, Chisels, Skews, Bowl Spindle Gouges β€’Includes Setup Blocks and Quad Jig for 8 inch Grinders - UF-SHARP CBN Grinding Wheel 8 inch 180 Grit, 1" Wide, 5/8" Arbor, Suitable for All Kinds of 8-inch Bench Grinders (180 Grit) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/10065305-rikon-80-805-professional-8-inch-low-speed-bench-grinder](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/10065305-rikon-80-805-professional-8-inch-low-speed-bench-grinder) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-10-02*
