[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1047953, member: 176704"] Went to sharpen my Flymo mower blade this morning, and found that my combined Nutool (so it must 10+yrs old) 6" grinder & Sander wouldn't start up (motor gone!). This is the bench tool that I probably use more than any other, and definitely needs to be replaced. Went looking on-line for replacement, and found that most come with 230/240W motors, but my experience with the Nutool was that a motor of that rating sometimes has trouble starting - especially in cold weather - and so I went looking for one with a higher rating. Finally found this 370W [URL='https://www.robertdyas.co.uk/150mm-370w-230v-bench-grinder-with-sanding-belt-and-worklight']Draper 05096[/URL] on the Robert Dyas site for £84.99 inc delivery (which is about what many of the 230/240W ones sell for elsewhere) - gets good reviews on Amazon and so on but there you pay over £100, and so ordered from Robert Dyas.
