Comprehensive Buyer's Guide for Bench Grinders Tailored to Novice Users
The user says, "I'm actually not sure what I need in terms of features for a bench grinder," specifically mentioning, "Adjustable speed for one." A commenter echoes this, saying, "Yes, adjustable speed is a big one. Many buffing wheels need to run at slower speeds. So if you want to buff or polish, get one with adjustable speed." This highlights a clear need for educational information among beginners or those unfamiliar with bench grinders to understand feature implications and match them to their tasks.
