[AT] Speaking of Harbor Freight

[CWI47 at comcast.net]

Charlie,  When ya get one of theirs check to make sure the cord is heavy
enough gauged.  I've found with the chinese electrics the cord is usually to
small and causes "I think" too much amperage.  I know with the 4 1/2"
grinders if we changed the cords before using they lasted as long as US made
but if not then would burn out in a couple or three uses.  I'm using a 2HP
10" grinder I got from them it's quieter than my delta and really grinds.  I
changed the cord to heavy industrial when I got it and use it for buffing
knives and reefin on steel.
