Haven't put this to the full test yet. Having had to return one, I was disappointed that the replacement arrived with a chip on one of the grinding wheels. I hope that this is not too deep that I can't remediate it with the wheel dressing tool. (Maybe Amazon can send me a new grinding wheel, but I'm not holding my breath; I don't think they replace parts of such an order - it's all or nothing, I think, and I'm not going through all that palaver again). Hence loss of a star or two.Otherwise, it started ok, is a good weight, and seems sturdy and stable, and is a good size for my requirements.PS: The guide plates are rather feeble and small,

Recommended - Didn't pay much more than the cheapest makes/models which have smaller wheels and a lot less power. It's made in china like so many products but appears to be a quality unit.Even for grinding/wire-brushing small objects, you need a decent diameter and the power to not slow down - this grinder has both.Tool rests are adequate.Decent weight allows you to use it without bolting down (naughty but it wont go anywhere) Best clamp in a vice to be safe!The medium grit stone is coarser than I needed. Fine is OK. Basically I use the fine stone for all but the heaviest of grinding.It is reasonably balanced and once up to speed runs steady and true. I have used it for dressing blades,

Hi, I think that the Sealy grinder is sturdy and well built, suits my work,it is a good workshop tool,Someone please note, delivery, both rest arms where bent and badly damaged,but, I DECIDED TO REPAIR THEM, rather than having the hassle of rejecting the grinder,the flimsy packaging has to be something else, for such a heavy item this must be enclosed in a properwooden surround even if this would add extra carriage, would you get your thinking cap on,please, and sort this.machine is good alas, the hopeless protection must be attended too urgently.RegardsWilliam,

Grinder it's perfect we'll made soft start just brilliant but... Package for such a heavy tool it's a joke this is my second BG200XL during the week and again has been damaged during (?) transport. If you consider weight of the grinder and see styrofoam and box you will see why two times I have received grinder damaged. Second time luckly grinder stone protection cover was just dent not ripped off the body grinder as it was at the first time. So if you will decide to buy one check with courier is it OK

Very good machine I use it on occasion for my metal work and it works great. I only wish you could disable one motor rather than having both running at the same time as I don't always need the next grinding wheel. The machine starts off slow then rapidly builds up speed like a turbine motor sounds Brill lol. Very good machine to have btw...

I bought my last Sealey 200mm grinder in 1985 and is still going as good as the day I bought it. I just wanted more wheels rather than changing polishing mops. New one is a bit smaller and definitely quieter

I removed the grinding wheels and replaced them with 200mm polishing mops. With the power advantage above a 6” it makes for a superb peace of robust workshop equipment.

Only used it a few times but ver happy so far, seems nice and sturdy and easy to set up, the only minus I have is the tool rest does not adjust to grind at an angle.

When received, there was damage to both eyeshields. I reportea this to Sealey and had an immediate reply. Replacement parts were recieved within a few days.

Good bench grinder I put a wire wheel on one end it is not bad if you don't let the speed drop to much when using the wire wheel

Does the job. Tool rest could be a little more sturdy but otherwise quite adequate for drill and lathe HSS tool grinding.

Robust build, smooth running, 600 watt motor. Does what it says on the box: general purpose workshop and sharpening use.

For the price paid I don’t think you can buy one as sturdy or as powerful as this, 375watt ( 1/2 hp) motor.

Usual Sealey quality. Two grinding wheels but no wire wheel.
