Wizard Grinder Bearing going

Pretty sure a bearing is going in my grinder. It's out of warranty and I'm going to get another (it's about 8 years old) but was wondering if anyone has ever attempted to refurbish the motor themselves?

Pretty sure Inland will sell you another motor or you might be able order one from Grainger. The motor brand is Fasco made by Fasco Industries, Motor Division. Motor number is 7121-7924

I bought a new motor from Glastar for my Superstar; my husband replaced it; works great!

The motors of Glastar and Inland are not universal.

Hi Jeanne-

I would shop around for the motor. Depending on the grinder, the motor may cost more than buying a new one (especially if you go to Grainger.)

Not sure of which grinder you had, but I saw this on the Central Jersey CL a couple of days ago. Can't tell the model in the photo, but you never know...

I didn't mean that. I just meant to give an example of a replacement motor working well (and it was pretty easy to install, also). I expect replacing an Inland motor would be comparable.

At what? There were only two listing for stained glass stuff and neither showed a pic of a grinder.

The grinder is mentioned in the description. It is on the shelf in the background of the second pic.
