This thing is a death trap.
When using one of the most dangerous tools, don't buy a cheap crappy version.
I bought this a few months back to permanently mount into a type of sliding miter saw I made for metal. And the first one I bought made a hell of a racket. So I exchanged it, and the second one vibrated so bad I couldn't keep my cutoff machine calibrated. I then returned it and got the $50 corded Bosch and it felt like a Porsche compared to the WEN being a 1981 Chevette. Lol.
Life's too short to have an single grinder that can make it even shorter. Lol.

Almost as good as the recent Metabo deal. This Wen, low end B&D, Skill, HF, etc. is for the homeowner and occasional light duty usage.

I would be more likely to go with this Bauer then metabo, especially as the metabo is lower AMp rating
