Parkside Mini Bench Grinder

[Vich]

Just thought I would post a pic of one of my Christmas presents, a delightful surprise from my wife.

As I have often said I am just an amateur tinkerer so although it is small it is nevertheless quite good for what I want (restrain comments please). It is mainly the polishing and finishing aspects I am interested in and I have no doubts about the limitations.. It will probably give the engineers and pro's on the forum a good chuckle though.

It is a Parkside Mini Bench Grinder PMDS 100 B1.

Idle speed 3000 to 9000 (variable), 20 min continuous use caveat.

50mm Wheels and it comes with a variety and a couple of mops. 3 year warranty.  Working Speed 8 - 24 m/s. Purchased from Lidl for £20.00, so far it seems to do what I need.

All I have to do now is work out what all these different coloured compounds are for (just joking)

Cheers, Vic

Wow, that's value for money!

Yeah, I'd actually quite like my own so I could get some experience doing full case and bracelet refurbs (no way am I doing anything more than touching up little scuffs and scratches with a hand held hobby motor) and at £20 what do you have to lose? well, space, and that's what's keeping me from getting a bench grinder.

It is actually rather compact, only 28cm by 16cm . A bit tiny really but it works !
