General International - General International- 15-825 M1 Bench Grinder
The The tool rests for the 15-825 M1 bench grinder can move in or out by loosening and tightening two bolts with a wrench.
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).

Festool Rotex FEQ-Plus Random Orbital Sander
The Festool Rotex is a top-of-the-line choice. On its coarse setting, it removed stock nearly twice as quickly as the second-fastest model. But that speed doesn’t mean you’ll have to wrestle with it. It’s no huge task to control it with two hands, and its long body gives you plenty of room to find a sweet spot while holding it.
