I agree, it is very sturdy and well made ...... except for the vise base, which is fragile as I learned the hard way. Just don't open the chain clamp too far or *snap*.Well, quite simply, it's a very solid, well-made piece of equipment. I stopped wasting money with stuff from tool shows, and the discount mail-order places. I don't know that it's the perfect grinder, but it is close, and it will last a lifetime if not abused. It ain't cheep, tho...
Funny how people feel strongly that their way of sharpening is best. I don't enjoy filing but I get good results with a grinder. To each his own.
