i generally use mine to shave down metal things that don't fit right. :)

Recent uses: Adjust 0g clamps to fit on alternator, amp, and grounding points
Adjust brackets for K&N CAI TB mounts

you never know when you need it. :)

Bench grinders are great for sharpening drill bits, buffing stuff with a wire brush, buffing with a buffing wheel, and light metal de-burring/grinding. Kind of limited in the heavy metal removal catagory. Normally bust out the old HD angle grinder for that. Definately worth getting one though.

I think it is a tool that should be in every shop/garage. They can be used to even buff shoes if you use it right and with the right wheel.
