Hi everyone. I finally repaired the one-shot setup and put in the VFD for my BP-815 grinder (pic below). It came w/ the magnetic chuck, and seems to run smooth enough. I have just a basic start up Q.
1) Since I am new to grinders in general. I found this as a good starter article. Passing along!

a few vids on YouTube were also good! Here is a 7 part series.

2 ) It's 1hp on the motor. The maximum grinder wheel size is 8". I have some Norton wheels and some steel on the table to play around. I guess I have but 1 question thus far.
Q- How do you know if the thing stay's level from 1 side to the other and front to back. Just put on a dial indicator and go from side to side?
Q- If there is something amiss- I cannot see any adjustments on this unit? Do I shim the chuck?
While lower-end I think, it is a perfect size for me, light, and about all I really need to learn on. If you have some quick links or setup advise - Let me know! Thanks.
