Apr 05, 2012
The General International grinder is the only machine with a 3/4-in.-wide wheel. The tool rests can move in or out by loosening and tightening two bolts with a wrench, but they are cast roughly and can’t be angled in any way, making them almost useless. On the other hand, the General is a very smoothrunning grinder, with very little vibration (after adjusting the flange).

Bosch 12V Trim Router
Trim routers are easier to handle when you cut the cord, and the Bosch’s compact, curvy shape and unique base give it unmatched control.
Craftsman Random Orbit Sander
While this sander is among the least expensive models in the test, its performance ranks among the best. The stock removal was excellent, and dust collection was solid when used with a vacuum. It handles really smoothly, too, and has a tall body that fit my hand nicely whether I was holding it from above or around the waist.
Festool Cleantec CT 26 E HEPA Dust Extractor
The clear winner here is Festool’s CT 48 Dust Extractor. It has amazing capacity relative to its size, and unmatched suction power. It packs in a number of subtle but very helpful design touches, like a clever foot brake and easy hose and cord storage.
