HF: Bauer Grinder Teardown/Analysis | BobIsTheOilGuy
July 21, 2019 - All I can say is that's the rare exception. It's always either the motor smokes or the switch goes. Usually the switch by 5x 1. They do work ok for the oddball one that has the wheel you rarely use but for your main grinders, nawwww💸💸💸.

Other than the color and LED lights, I'd like to know how these are different from the older ones. I have the older 8" model and just replaced the bearings on it. It's the same HP rating and looks like the same design. IDK how the design of the basic bench grinder could be much different thou. Maybe now they'll have a better selection of 8" wheels. I don't remember how expensive the older 8" was, maybe $59? Anyone remember?

Bauer Bench Grinder
April 28, 2025 - The standard configuration features dual 6-inch wheels – a 36-grit wheel for aggressive material removal and a finer 60-grit wheel for more precise finishing work. These wheel dimensions hit the sweet spot for most users; large enough to provide good working surface area but not so large that they require excessive power or make the unit unwieldy. The grinder weighs approximately 16.5 pounds, making it substantial enough to remain stable during operation while still being manageable to move around when needed.

r/harborfreight on Reddit: Anyone experienced with the Bauer bench grinder and attached LED lamp?
January 11, 2024 -
I am looking at the Bauer bench grinder with attached LED lamp. It is normally $239, and on sale in my local store for $199. I also have a 15% coupon to use with it, so will be getting it for ~$175 after tax.
I just want some honest reviews from previous owners. Any reason to not go for it? Any safety concerns to be aware of? Any happy/successful metal smiths satisfied with the product? How long is the life expectancy? What is the required occasional maintenance, and the labor/financial costs of the maintenance?
I am looking for something that has medium to long term life expectancy with occasional use and minimal or no maintenance involved. My shop and operations are not that large and mostly consists of tool and knife and jewelry repairs, as well as a small metals refining/recycling operation.

r/harborfreight on Reddit: Bauer bench grinder stone wheel any good?
March 10, 2024 -
I have an old 6" bench grinder from HF that the stone is pretty well worn out and needs to be replaced. Is the bauer stone good quality? It would be nice if the replacement lasted several years like the originals (occasional use obviously) but im more concerned about it not exploding in my face.

What he said - I've always had best performance from Makita and Norton consumables.

It won't explode and will get the job done but HF disposables (blades, wheels, bits, abrasives, etc.) are fine at first but crap out quick in my experience. Go with Norton if you want something that will last.

January 21, 2024 - It would be nice to have a bench grinder that I could stick a wire wheel or polishing wheel on if I needed one. What should I look for? Variable speed? 6" or 8"? Wen, Baur (Harbor Freight), DeWalt all have similar models - except the DeWalt is a single speed and the reviews of it are pretty bad on the DeWalt site.
