I am in the need for a slow speed grinder. So there are the 1/2 hp Rikon and the 1 hp Rikon. I have searched this forum, but haven’t found what I am looking for. There is also the Delta vs grinder. The 1/2 hp Rikon can be had for $100, and the 1 hp is about $240 including shipping. The delta is in-between. I watched Ken Rizza’s test on the Rikon. The 1 hp was up to speed in less than two seconds where the 1/2 hp took eight seconds. Have no idea about the delta. I will be using steel CBN wheels. I am not a production turner.
My question is once the 1/2h hp is up to speed (waiting the startup eight seconds) is there a noticeable difference between these grinders? When sharpening is there a tendency to stall the 1/2 hp Rikon? I know very little about the Delta. Should I even be considering this grinder?
Thanks
