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.

Recommend me an 8" bench grinder
My wife wants to know what to get me for my birthday, and an 8" bench grinder would be nice to have. Currently I am under-grindered, having only a 6" Wen that is easy to stall. So I'm looking for a reputable brand that won't break her budget, maybe top out around $200ish. Expected use is... More on garagejournal.com

Bauer grinder
It will be perfect. Just set it up per the instructions and go at the slowest speed and you will do fine. I would recommend putting the grinder and the jig on one thick piece of plywood by itself. Then screw that down wherever you like and if you ever need to move it then you can just move that one piece of plywood and everything stays square. More on reddit.com

Grinder suggestions for novice/occasional turner | American Association of Woodturners
September 8, 2025 - Many do use the 1/2 hp Rikon grinder, but I just wanted some thing more heavy duty. The Baldor are the best, if you can afford them. As for speeds, with the high speed steel we use, we can't get the tools hot enough for them to lose their temper like you can with high carbon tools, which are mostly hand plane irons and bench chisels.

May 27, 2023 - HF buys directly from the manufacturer and I've seen tools, like their Bauer line be identical to some Rigid, Triton, and Wen stuff. Like with most overseas manufacturers, they are capable of building tools on par with any built here or elsewhere, but have budget and more premium lines.

April 28, 2025 - Let’s address the elephant in the room right away – the price point of the Bauer bench grinder makes it one of the most accessible quality tools in its category. Currently priced at around $89.99, it sits comfortably in that sweet spot between the ultra-cheap models that fail within months and the premium options that might cost three times as much.

January 25, 2024 - Project Farm has a test on these. The too long didn't watch summary is get something with a "big motor", a lot of amperage draw. I have an old 3A 8" HF and it's ok, but terribly underpowered if you lean on it. IIRC the most powerful grinder PF tested was an 8-10A Jet model.
