    I have this in my Amazon cart and I'm having second thoughts. Any advice?

    https://www.amazon.com/Oregon-410-120-Bench-Mounted-Grinder/dp/B00Y0S88Y8/

    I have the Harbor Freight sharpener and there's so much play...everywhere. In the clamping, in the grinding arm, etc. I was going to spend $80-100 on the NorthernTool one, but lots of people are saying NT and HF are similar.

    Any thoughts on the Oregon 410-120? 511AX is a non-starter. Even the 410 is probably a stupid idea - I'm just a homeowner with one saw...but I'm treating it like a buy once cry once situation and 410 is top of my price range. Would rather stick to a grinder than a file.

    Thanks in advance!

    Don't know anything about that Oregon but, I would not say the Harbor Fright is similar to the Northern Tool.
    The Northern Tool is a whole lot better machine than the Harbor Fright is .
