"Very heavy and well built but let down by a lamp with stalk so weak it can't hold its own weight (and thats without the bulb) and a very silly length of power cable. C'mon guys - these are basics and this is meant to be the top of the range device.
Still, 30 mins with pliers, new plug (rubber of course) and a sensible length of blue 3 core cable and we are away.
Oh ,and the grinding wheels are not exactly circular and the machine vibrates when starting and stopping. Perhaps a dressing tool will solve this problem.
Still. its worth a 4 as most of the issues can be solved and it is well made."
