Before I spend money I should be very grateful to know what others think is the best Linisher& disc grinder for a model engineer.

Workshop has ML7R Trilever and Warco WS16 mill/drill and I no longer

build large engines!

Many thanks in advance.

Richard.

There was a self build disc grinder in MEW a while back. If you have a suitable sealed motor, I’d be tempted to go with that option – it looked dead easy to make !

I have something from Warco similar to this machine Richard (which is what I think you mean?):

**LINK**

But I must admit, I don't use it as much as I thought I would (although I know others are enthusiastic about them). I keep meaning to make better rests for it but I haven't quite got around to it yet. Maybe that's the problem (it's a bit chicken and egg). I don't like using the rests (too flimsy) but I don't use it enough to do something about it.

Hi Richard

A few years ago I bought the Clarke bds model that is quite similar to the Warco above, and other 'hobby' types like that, which are around the £100 mark. On mine, the non standard motor that was made to fit in the casting, behind the circular sanding disc, only lasted a couple of years and I ended up scrapping the machine. Other than that it was not too bad to use and I got a lot of good work out of it, Maybe I just got a wrong-un, but I would not get that type again.

If I get another I will get one where the motor is a standard size and type and easily replaceable.

Hi Richard

Most of the regular advertisers sell versions of a small linisher with a 1" belt and 4" disk. It is often on offer. I have one and its very good.

If you look at THIS THREAD there's a good discussion of different types.
