Difficult to judge from loads of vibration. I've used a budget one a few times, the vibration was considerably more than a higher quality machine.

there not the best of makes .allso the disks may be a bit unbalanced .the larger the disk the more vibration

They're not the best in the world and in my experience their discs are dangerous.

I'd try a decent disc first.

ive had the vibration before on my smaller grinder and that was due to the disc not sitting correctly but ive double checked the disc and its on correct so will have to try again with another one. I only used it for afew mins but after good use I think my hands will still be vibrating lol

Ive found that with cheap grinders they do give a lot more vibration off than compared to
say A Bosh or a Dewalt jobbie .

We have Makita 7 and 9" grinders. The new ones are well balanced, giving very little vibration. They feel and sound solid to use.
A couple of the lads have thir own 9" grinders here - Metabo? They rattle so much that the guards start to slide round and things drop off as they rattle loose! Hard work on the hands too. Bet the HAVS ratings aint up to much on the cheap ones!
