Incredible price!!!

Is that the model with the bi-directional motor?

Either way, great deal!

 

[mtngun]

Not bi-directional, but I agree that E&E's price is pretty good.

One non-sponsor claims the Carlton 510B runs at 2800 rpm vs. 3400 rpm for the Oregon 510A. Dunno if that applies to E&E's 510C ? Seems like slower would be better.

Those interested may wish to visit Baileys for a comparison of the Carlton Grinder. There is an informative read on the product page about it. Regardless it is a good deal.

Hi,

This is not the same grinder as Bailey's 110v Carlton grinder. That one is the Chinese model of the 511A, this is made in Italy.

No, it's uni-directional.

This one runs at 3400 rpm, same as the 510A.

Is it the Carlton model 78-120?

 

[Edge & Engine]

Is it the Carlon model 78-120?

Yes it is. Model #78-120V.

 

[hamish]

Yes it is. Model #78-120V.

Then its a very good deal. The last Oregon 510 I ordered was and still does have some teething problems (q/c is much lower than it used to be), might have to give the Carlton a look at.

Both made by Tecomec.

So what is the difference between the 510 and 511 grinders?

 

[mtngun]

All I know is that the 511a was phased out and replaced by the 510a/b/c. Basic design appears similar, but parts may not interchange.

 

[wendell]

I thought the 511A became the 511AX.

 

[mtngun]

I thought the 511A became the 511AX.

511ax was always a whole nuther machine, with a fancier vice.

511ax

Does the 78-120 allow the user to adjust the vise tilt angle?

 

[zr900]

Does this come with good grinding wheels?

 

[Edge & Engine]

Does the 78-120 allow the user to adjust the vise tilt angle?

No, that would be exclusive to the 511AX.

Does this come with good grinding wheels?

The included Tecomec wheels are a medium grit (exact grit not specified) designed for good grinding speeds while still leaving a good finish and reasonable life span.
