Then using my thumb and two fingers one above and one below the tool rest I was able to hold the chisel on a pivot point. Turn on the grinder and lightly touch the wheel with the chisel.

It gave me a nice clean facet. My next question was what about establishing a different bevel angle? The sharpening of my axes and the garden shears free hand produced nice results. The axes I have do not require an exact bevel angle as these are only used to hack at the wood. The wood turning chisels were a bit of a challenge as some of them were wider than the grinder wheel and so I only sharpen the smaller ones.

I turned my attention to see if I could shape metal. I picked up two square ended pieces one at 2mm thick and the other at 8mm thick. I marked out a quarter circle radius on both and with light touches on the wheel both were grind-ed to that radius. I did not time the process as it was more to see how the grinding wheel stood up to this sort of treatment. Using the Grinding Wheel Dresser which comes with the machine trued up the grinding wheel after only a few passes.

Easy to adjust and it stays in place when grinding or sanding. Overall I am very happy with this machine, lightweight and compact. As part of the review Aldi wanted me to provide the following information. Attached Images P Google Adsense Advertisement.

Join Date Jun Location Posts 7, Christos, I like your comprehensive review, good to know about it prior to the sale. As I once looked at buying something similar from Bunnings but could not buy replacement belts from them, can you tell me how easy it is to obtain replacement belts and what grits are available. Originally Posted by Sturdee. I received an email reply concerning the enquiry about sanding belts.

What grit is the grinding wheel? How wide is the sanding belt? What grit is the sanding belt provided, and is there more than 1 belt provided? What size is the motor? What are the overall dimensions of the unit?

What size is the base of the unit? Do the shafts run on bearings? Is it a direct drive motor or geared, and if geared, are they metal or plastic? How long is flexible stem? Some other info: You say it is bolted down, but I can't see the bolt holes nor bolts. What is provided, no. What is access to the bolts like? Can it be used without bolting it down?

How noisy is it? How efficient was the dust extraction pick-up? How true was the grinding wheel to start with? Did it need dressing? At that price I assume once the grinding wheel wears down you throw it away. Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new.

ALDI do not usually handle such as consumables for tools a well known fact. I'd hate to have to run out of something and then have to contact an aftersales service to wait days before being able to continue For a small hobby shop an ideal unit I'd say for someone who uses it daily and hard Christos good write up basic and done as a non technical tradie writer aimed well at those who have less cash to throw around. Many of Neil's questions could be answered by scanning the manual and placing a PDF of it on here.

Good work Chrisitos! Christos, where does the "Titanium" come in? Skip to main content.
