I just started using the grinder and got the Wolverine- One-way sharpening jig set up. Looks good, works well, I like the extra features- brackets, magnifier, light. A great upgrade to my sharpening- especially lathe tools- gouges, etc!
Bought a new low speed bench grinder for sharpening my woodturning tools.
It makes it so much easier to sharpen my tools without risking burning the steel.
The unit has been constructed with exceptional precision and meticulous attention to detail, delivering both visual appeal and functional excellence.
I’m very happy with my Buck tool grinder. I use it with the Oneway sharpening system. It took a while to set it up. Once it was ready it does a great job.
Very smooth and quiet, love my new grinder.
Grinder is everything that I expected it to be from on-line reviews. No issues with
grinder that affects its functionality
This is a heavy duty grinder. Out of the box heavy, well balanced very smooth motor and bearings. Bought this to sharpen turning and wood chisels.
Only negative I wish the tool rests were much longer. But I love it
Will definitely be buying more Buck tools
The grinder worked as expected out of the box. Of particular note are the extra wide fine grit wheel (1.5 inches) and the lack of vibration. The wheels were installed and seemingly pre-balanced.
Over all a great investment
Prompt delivery. Well made. Spent about a hour truing up wheels to get better balance. Seems to do a nice job on my lathe chisels. Have not had a chance to put them to the test yet. Pleased with purchase.
Very quiet when running.
Base is low, so I had to elevate it with boards to put jigs for my woodturning gouges.under it.
Fast shipping, the feel and sound speaks quality. Thanks
very quite - doesn't wobble.... much. Very heavy and doesn't need to be bolted to the bench. The wheel leaves room for improvement but that was expected - I bought 8 inch CBN Grinding Wheel 8 inch 1000 to replace one of the wheels - and will probably get another one - of course the wheels cost more than the grinder....
shipping was kind of slow.
the grinder is top of the line
thanks
I had decided I wanted that grinder because it can take 1.5 in. CBN wheel. You were $10 cheaper than anyone else.
The unit arrived promptly, well packaged. It has been used for 2 weeks and is a beefy, quality-appearing grinder.
Wheel is out of balance, and the light is a real joke.it will not stay put in any position.
After sixty plus years of using the cheapest grinders, I have moved to a new world of Bucktool grinder. I am so pleased. It sits still while running. Has an one and half inch wide wheel. great light. Ain't cheap but the best grinder I have used to 7? years. Recommend for everyone
This grinder is good quality at a low price. Bucktool did their homework in finding a quality Chinese manufacturer who will support their product. One of the knobs had a bad thread, and the manufacturer mailed me a replacement in an acceptable time frame. All features were as advertised.
I would enjoy seeing Bucktool offer replacement and modification parts like Grizzly and Little Machine Shop; however, I understand that this would be a daunting addition for a small vendor.
Great bench grinder. Smooth, quiet and almost no vibration. Extremely pleased with it. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a high quality bench grinder. I've had it two weeks now and have sharpened three sets of mower blades, all yard tools and kitchen knives.
Purchased the 8 inch bench grinder with low speed and am very pleased with it. It certainly seems heavy duty and rugged just by the weight of it. Grinding wheels are very good quality and balanced well. Tool rests are aluminum and true to the wheels. Adjustments are very good and precise. The magnifying glasses even work well. The led light works well. Finally it runs smooth and quiet. Happy with the purchase.
BUCKTOOL 8Inch Low-Speed Bench Grinder TDS-200C4HL
Good grinder at a good price. My main use is for sharpening turning tools for my wood lathe.
I'm quite happy with the grinder. It is so much quieter than the one I grew up with, and 8" is so much better than 6".
The tool rests are decent size and mass for stock. But the adjustment angle has been intentionally (and needlessly) limited to 45°. Since this is a low-speed grinder, I would think that sharpening chisels would be one of the most common tasks, and you can't do it without buying an aftermarket tool rest. It requires sharpening the tool at 25°. I don't believe it would have cost a penny more to design and build the tool rest that would adjust to any angle.

The motor runs really smooth. The guards are built heavy the tables have a lot of adjustment and are nice and wide. The wheels that come with it are nice wheels and I have a CBN wheel from Lee valley that fits nice and runs smooth on this grinder. You get what you pay for it is worth the extra money in my opinion. It's built a lot heavier than the cheaper brands.

It's great to receive a product and right off the bat during unpacking you know it was made with high quality in mind. There are a few things that I felt could have been better but for the most part I am happy with my purchase. I added a variable jig along with this purchase so a lot of the accessories that came with this grinder were unnecessary for me. And to be fair except for the foot pads I don't see the use for most of the other stuff that came with it. The wheels aren't very good either as they are the typical oxide variety that seems to be on all of these grinders on Bucktool. So I went ahead and bought a hurricane grinding wheel to go along with it and besides some difficulty getting it mounted (the tolerance on the hurricane grinding wheel is extremely small so make sure you lube up the spindle and clear it of any kind of debris) it spins perfectly. There is no wobble that I can detect.
it has sufficient power and it never seemed to slow down during any kind of grinding that I threw at it. The light on it is kind of pointless though but it does its job well enough.
Honestly I kind of wish that they just got rid of all the accessories, the light, and the wheels and just sold it as a base grinder at a cheaper price and it would have been an awesome buy then. I know that doesn't make sense probably for some people but considering I didn't put on most of the accessories because of the variable grinder accessories I purchased and the new wheels I bought I now have a bunch of pieces just lying around.
I think you would be fine buying this and will not have any issues installing different wheels on it if you choose to do so. It's a great grinder, well built, heavy duty, and I feel it will last me a long time.
