you get a couple of hours out of a fiver on yer bike ??
you ain't tryin' hard enough ... mine was a James Captain with a 197 Villiers motor .... the fun ended when the end of the crank carrying the 8" dia brass flywheel sheared off and the flywheel went airborne ..... dropped the bike and ran ....... God alone knew where it was gonna land mine wasn't quite this shiny .......

Do not buy any grinder without comparing the vibration magnitude figures. Some of them are super bad to hold onto cred to others. We buy metabo every time now. The figures are almost half that of malwalkies. I got one of them 150 metabo grinders year or so ago and use up old 9” discs

I agree ..... some are atrocious, but usually the cheap crap tat that passes for tools ... and lasts long enough to plug it in .... most major players produce decent gear, in the vibe stakes, although I must say the 9" Maks are pretty buzzy ....... all of 'em are only rate-able idle ... once you get stuck in to summat it's very much down to the user and how you tackle what you're doing IMHDO ..... and of course the discs tooDo not buy any grinder without comparing the vibration magnitude figures.

How does it work with vibration ratting? The lower the number the less vibration?
