The Oregon 88-023 does an absolutely beautiful job of grinding blades effortlessly. Should have purchased one years ago. I highly recommend it. However, WHY did they not include a second Table Plate? The cost would have been negligible. When switching from left-handed to a right-handed blade one must detach this plate and move it to the other side of the grinder. Also, braces on the hood as in similar models, would be nice, as it tends to vibrate/oscillate during operation.
