Pros

1,750 RPM prevents overheating tools
White aluminum oxide wheels included
Built for sharpening, not just grinding

Cons

Slower material removal rate
Small work light is dim

Don't buy this if…

The slow speed is intentional for sharpening; do not expect the same aggressive material removal rate as a 3,600 RPM grinder.
