looks alright, and really at that price, if it doesn't last long, then fine! the best grinder i've ever had was the cheapest one i could
find in homebase, still going quite well, though the switch sometimes doesn't switch it on... always goes off though, so you know...
115mm is the smallest type that most of us tend to use though... and if i hadn't just bought 30 115mm cutting discs, i'd be tempted,
because i prefer that type of switch where you pull the handle in, rather than the ones with a switch on top, that doesn't automatically stop
when you let go.
had a loose wire in my extention cable once, switched the grinder on, nothing, stupidly let go of it with one hand, moved the extention, grinder span
into life, i couldn't hold it and nearly dropped it on my foot... and because it was still running, with was jumping about all over the place...

115mm discs will fit a 125 capacity disc grinder as long as the centre bore is the same size.

At even that cheap price you really can't go wrong. I bought I think must have been the cheapest around at £7.99, and believe it or not it
lasted me over 2 years. I have now just bouht another one for £16 so I ope this lasts as long as my last.
I do quite a lot of grinding cutting sanding and polishing with these small 115mm grinders, so they do get a little bit of stick.

I've one from last time they were in. works fine but the body is very bulky. Even
with fairly large hands it's not the most comfortable whizzer to use.

I've had the Aldi grinder about 3 years now and it is a good size with the rear handle, no problem as I like them for the added grip they give
me with a right shoulder problem which means I always use grinders two handed.
eta:- this is different to mine as it has a variable speed control which could come in handy for polishing, 2,800 minimum.

yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
