is this a variable speed grinder? and does it include a hose?

The grinder is only one speed and does include a hose. The grinding shroud works well and collects a lot of dust. Unfortunately, the vac connector to the grinding shroud does not fit a normal vac hose end -- so I duct-taped them together.

Neither. You likely want a "polisher" and not a grinder. Polishers are slower and variable speed. Harbor freight has one for about $30 that will work perfectly for occasional use.

Hand grinder but it has a wheel for a Vbelt to be used to hook it up to a bike (pedal power) or motor for grinding the quantity you are talking about.

Yes it does, that's how I run mine and works great. Don't get overly aggressive using the grinder as it will take your battery down more quickly.

Bear with me for a day or two, as I'm home and the buffer is at a different location. I'll try to have an answer for you within the next two days, but whatever RPM it runs at, it does an excellent job (especially for the low cost). Also, remember that the speed you need to be concerned about, is the speed the wheel turns at the edge of the wheel/buff. For example, a slow speed 8" grinder, at the edge of an 8" wheel, the speed is the same as a high speed (3750 RPM) 6" grinder.

It grinds the amount you want. I would NOT recommend buying this grinder. Mine lasted 9 months.....

Yes. It's the part that screws in and holds the blade. It is a very durable and hard plastic. I do love the grinder! Works so well and would recommend trying it.

No built in grinder.But unlike another response, I have enjoyed this machine immensely. I'm not a daily user but it's definitely hot and the espresso quality depends a lot on your bean choice.

Yes it does. I bought this 6 months ago and it has really been worth the money. I have used it for removing grinder pumps out of an 8 foot well and loading my outboard.

It runs a Compressor with a belt. I guess it depends on how much resistance there is when your grinding. It should start with no problem.

No, it doesn't incorporate a grinder. We have a separate grinder so that we can grind to the consistency we like. It does make great lattes, cappuccinos, and coffee. The timer is a great feature the older model I replaced didn't have. We like it!

Mine is definitely not variable speed. I don't know why you would need that feature in a grinder, though. This is the best 4 1/2" grinder I ever have used, and I've used some pricier ones.

No, you need not hold the switch, it has a click into 'on' spot. You could lock it on, then have a on/off switch on the cord. The speed control dial is at the far end from the grinder head, near the wire and water inlet, so you could control that from afar too. I have not used this tool hard or daily, but have used off and on for a couple of years: is solid, dependable, a nice tool. MP

No, to operate this grinder you need an air compressor and is too big for that job I better recommend a Dremel tool it's very handy and it works with 120 Volts like any appliance in you're house.

I purchased the Kawasaki 841428 4-1/2-Inch VS Angle 7.5-Amp Grinder which is variable speed and I am very happy with it

Yes it does, they also include plastic lids for storage. Love this grinder, use it frequently!
