And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Generally WEN makes good stuff at a fair price. That said, I've had two of these grinders and while they seem fine without wheels, neither one will run balanced. That's over multiple wheels, both statically and dynamically balanced, which run fine on my other grinders. Everything else checked, they both wiggle at speed. With or without balancing hubs. Nothing works. Usable? Sure. But noisy as all get out, and running the whole bench shakes. So. If you buy one, check it immediately and return if it won't balance.
It ain't a workbench unless there's a grinder on one end, and a vise on the other.
