Bench Grinder

[Burdekin]

Hi, can someone please recommend a decent brand of bench grinder. Just a small one for sharpening drills and tig electrodes etc.

Just bought an 8" titan brand bench grinder for under £40 from screwfix and it's a really good but of kit for the money.
I really can't say a bad word about it and I bought it on the online reviews.

Thanks. Will check it out.

Just get one with the most powerful motor you can find.

I threw my last one away as the stays and guards moved and weren't substantial enough.
