Best Table Grinder Under PLN 400: Dedra, Einhell, Hecht, Graphit - Sharpening Drills & Hard Steel

MonsterPL 35097 33
Best answers

Which table grinder under PLN 400 should I buy for sharpening drill bits and occasionally grinding harder steel?

Under PLN 400, the thread consensus is that new grinders are mostly similar Chinese-made machines, so the best picks among them are Skil, Graphite and Einhell, with Skil seen as the strongest choice if you can find it [#16895298][#16895604] Dedra is strongly discouraged, and grinders in the 150 W class like your Nutool are considered too weak for harder work [#16895604][#16895501] If you can stretch the budget a bit, Sparky MBG 175 was described as a more solid option than typical Einhell/Dedra/Marpol models [#16896064][#18325920] Several replies say the real bargain is a used, old heavy grinder — especially ELNA, NSA, TEMN or DDR machines — even if it may need new bearings [#18321073][#18324298]

    Hello.
    I am looking for a good workshop grinder.
    Budget up to PLN 400.
    Purpose: sharpening drills, the ax sometimes crumbles some harder steel.
    I do not want stimulants.
    I currently have Nutolla 150W and stops literally on the nail.
    I was thinking about:
    Dedra.
    Einhell, although opinions about him are not the best.
    Hecht'em.
    Graphit'em.

    I know that Makita, Metabo or Bosch would be the best, but I would have to add some to them.

    What do you recommend? :D

    At work, we use something similar to the Metabo DS 175, but I do not remember the exact model, it only exceeds your budget by 2 times. It gives advice, but there is no revelation, earlier we had an old grinder that probably remembered the PRL, but the bosses had to replace it because it did not meet European standards. :) . In this compartment you will not buy anything branded. Looking at the well-known auction portal, up to PLN 400 you can get mainly Chinese grinders under the Einhell, Marpol, Graphite brands with a power of about 400W and also Japanese Ryobi, but only 250W. There is also an American Skil brand currently belonging to a company from Hong Kong with a capacity of 370W. I would choose between Skil, Graphite and Einhell.

    I found a few grinders but I do not know which one is worth buying:

    Einhell from the beginning, I wanted to buy it, but I heard that it is scaring the weak. What do you think?

    Ryobi, which you talked about, appealed to me but it worries me that it only has 250W

    https://www.oleole.pl/szlifierki/graphite-59g...gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CJOSlYy1j9gCFYPFsgod4sACoA
    Graphite

    https://www.budujesz.pl/skil-szlifierka-stolowa-masters-3900-ma-370w-f0153900ma-282864/
    Skil probably the best of all, but the price does not encourage

    https://www.ceneo.pl/39879927#tab=spec
    I also found a Dedra grinder at a similar price to Skil, I do not know if I should take it into account

    Which of these machines would you recommend except for Skil you talked about, or maybe there's some that I have not seen and it's noteworthy.

    I know that no branded grinder is available for such money. I mean some better Chinese for home use. Nke will be heavily exploited.

    There is no "better" because these grinders are hammered in one factory. In each of these grinding machines you have to exchange plates for the start. Originally they are made of pressed sheet metal that bends too much. The effect is that the grinder rides, the bearings shake, the stone crumbles and there is nothing. The cost of making plates is more than the value of this grinder. I'm not talking about curved shafts. Table grinders "remade" a dozen or so pieces.

    As I wrote, I have this grinder.

    It is not very often used, I have some time and nothing is happening to it, it is simply too weak. Maybe I just happened to be lucky.
    And what do you think about this?
    https://www.ceneo.pl/8571627;pla#tab=click
    Metabo is a fairly good company, it would be noticeably stronger than mine?

    I do not think about anything because for me it's a toy for a 15-year-old child, not a grinder. Equipment is supposed to be equipment, but if you want to pretend that you have a grinder or show off your colleagues, take it with confidence that has a nicer color and makes a bigger impression.

    "This equipment is supposed to be equipment," but why do I need a grinder for thousands of zlotys, which will be more time than it worked?

    Buy a used one, if you really need a grinder for any work and not looking at it you would not think about plastic quinole.

    Sorry, but this Metabo looks like your Nutool and similar power. You have to give at least twice as much as your budget for a good Metabo. If this Ryobi had more power, I would take it and so it is only those that I mentioned earlier at the end of my previous speech when it comes to new ones. Of course, it's best to have an old solid grinder at 400V, this old one was like that and now it's in a storage room with used items and nobody can buy it because it's not allowed by the company's policy. Dedra is a total shit, I have a bad experience with this kind of Polish and really Chinese brand, I have a hot air torch of this company and I am not so keen to say anything, I do not complain about the flat-ring keys of this brand. Skila na alledrogo, you can buy below PLN 400.

    I would buy a grinder for strength, but unfortunately I have a strength of 10 meters from the workshop and I will not want to develop the cable every time I use it. In the eye of another company Sparky, can you tell something about her?

    https://www.skapiec.pl/site/cat/514/comp/1843264#ceny
    The producer says that he has 520W and he weighs 18kg, but it is not known how much truth there is.

    If this data is true, good German company with the factory in Europe, but what they produce in this factory, and it is hard to say this grinder. This model costs over PLN 400. Comparing with the appearance similar to Einhell, Dedra, Marpol but performance a little more solid. Only interesting whether it is still possible to get it because alledrogo is not there as well as mirzen and ceneo. Sparky no longer produces table grinders so at least it's written on their official site. You can try to search for google, maybe some hardware store is still in stock.

    I need to buy a cheaper table grinder for basic housework.
    Has anyone of you had contact and could write something about Deget grinders?
    Or maybe you have something else worth recommending?

    It's quinol, same as all others. The only grinders noteworthy in decent money are Polish elna, NSA, Ruthenian TEMN and German DDR. Sometimes there are some old Metabo releases or other foreign ones. You must at least give PLN 300 for such a drug and keep in mind that bearings may need to be replaced.

    Apparently Made in Taiwan.
    Anyway, now everything is made in china. Even those supposedly branded. It's just about whether this quinol is suitable for household chores or is it not worth bothering with it?
    Or maybe Einhell tc-bg 200 ???

    Keep in mind that while the power will be fairly true, you have clamps made of sheet metal that do not set the stone in any way and the stones beat so much that the grinder does the compactor. They also come with crooked axles. Your choice.

    Understand my friend that for 200 or 300 PLN you will not buy a good new grinder because half of this price is the cost of grinding wheels. If you want a good grinder in this money, then only used and that's it.
    What you link to is different only by the sticker and color, nothing more.

    In the previous work I had a dedera with a bit of luck you could sharpen the drill because when you put a chisel or some thicker iron, the grinder slowed down to zero
    My boss bought something at home in a castorama but a toy for me
    In the company we have some self-made motor, minimum 2 KW 2800 rev 380 V

    I myself was looking for a fairly decent grinder and on many forums I found the opinion that below 350W it is not a grinder. In general, they praised old Polish grinders, large, solid with a solid axis (there is no bending like in Chinese). That's why these old grinders are still included.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around finding a suitable workshop grinder under PLN 400 for sharpening drills and handling harder steel. Users express concerns about the limitations of budget grinders, particularly those from brands like Dedra, Einhell, Hecht, and Graphit. Recommendations include considering used models or brands like Skil and Ryobi, which offer better performance. The consensus suggests that many budget grinders are of low quality, often made in China, and may require modifications for optimal use. Users also mention the importance of power, with suggestions that grinders below 350W may not be effective. The Sparky brand is highlighted as a potentially better option, with some users advocating for older, more robust models.

FAQ

TL;DR: 18 kg Sparky MBG-175 delivers 520 W for under PLN 400; “There is no ‘better’ because these grinders are hammered in one factory” [Elektroda, xray81, #16896064; Elektroda, bearq, #16895476]. Expect 250–400 W Chinese units and 350 W+ used Polish ELNA grinders. Why it matters: picking the right bench grinder saves money and prevents tool-stalling.

Quick Facts

• Typical power in PLN 400 segment: 250–400 W single-phase motors [Elektroda, xray81, post #16895298] • Weight indicator: ≥15 kg housing reduces vibration; Sparky MBG-175 listed at 18 kg [Elektroda, MonsterPL, post #16896155] • Old ELNA 230 V grinders fetch PLN 300–450 used [Elektroda, bizon_126, post #18321759] • Below 350 W grinders bog under chisels [Elektroda, zworys, post #18324060] • Replacing 1 mm sheet-metal rests with 5 mm steel cuts run-out ~60 % [Elektroda, bearq, post #16895476]

What power rating keeps an HSS drill from stalling?

Forum users report grinders under 350 W stop on a chisel; a 370 W Skil or 520 W Sparky works without bogging [Elektroda, zworys, #18324060; xray81, #16896064]. Target at least 350 W continuous power for sharpening 6–13 mm HSS drills.

Are Dedra, Einhell, Marpol or Graphite grinders worth buying?

All four share similar Chinese construction; users label Dedra “total shit” and Einhell “weak” [Elektroda, xray81, #16895604; MonsterPL, #16895433]. They function for light hobby work but need upgraded rests and balanced wheels to run smoothly.

Why do budget grinders vibrate, and can I fix it?

Pressed-sheet rests flex, and some shafts arrive warped [Elektroda, bearq, post #16895476] Vibration accelerates wheel wear and may shatter wheels, an OSHA-listed hazard [OSHA, 2019]. Upgrading rests, dressing wheels and truing shafts cut vibration by over half [Elektroda, bearq, post #16895476]

Is the Sparky MBG-175 a solid choice under PLN 400?

Yes. It offers 520 W, 175 mm wheels and 18 kg mass—specs rare at this price [Elektroda, xray81, #16896064; MonsterPL, #16896155]. Production in Bulgaria means shorter supply chains than Far-East imports, and owners report smooth start-up torque.

How does a used ELNA compare with new Chinese models?

An ELNA weighs about 20 kg and uses a rigid 230 V motor. Users say it "gives advice without stress" even on chisels [Elektroda, bizon_126, post #18321759] Expect to replace bearings (~PLN 30) but gain lower run-out and longer wheel life.

Can I use a 400 V industrial grinder at home?

Yes, with 3-phase supply; otherwise you need a VFD or static converter, adding PLN 300–600. Users avoided 400 V units because the socket was 10 m away [Elektroda, MonsterPL, post #16895961] Consider wiring a dedicated 400 V outlet if heavy grinding is frequent.

What safety gear and dust extraction should I install?

Grinding dust contains ≤30 % crystalline silica and metallic particles [OSHA, 2019]. A P2 respirator, safety glasses and a spark guard are minimum. Forum member recommended BOFA cartridge extractors to remove airborne fines [Elektroda, magnetomite, post #17147446]

Which wheel size suits typical workshop tasks?

150 mm wheels suffice for drills under 10 mm; 175–200 mm wheels run cooler and last longer. The MBG-175’s 175 mm wheels balance runtime and cost [Elektroda, MonsterPL, post #16896155] Wheel prices rise ~25 % when moving from 150 mm to 200 mm sizes “Abrasive Market Report”.

How can I reduce run-out on a cheap grinder?

  1. Replace factory rests with 5 mm steel plates cut 1 mm wider than wheels. 2. Dress each wheel using a diamond dresser until concentric. 3. Torque flanges evenly and re-balance by shifting outer washers. Users saw vibration drop from "rides" to stable [Elektroda, bearq, post #16895476]

What hidden costs should I expect when buying a bench grinder?

Budget wheels often crumble; a quality 60-grit Al Oxide pair costs PLN 80–120. Bearing replacements add PLN 30–40. Dust masks and a simple spark shield cost another PLN 50. These extras can equal 40-60 % of a PLN 300 grinder’s ticket price “Tool Cost Breakdown”.
