Bench Grinder was fine and arrived in a timely manner. I'm pleased with it after several hours of use. I got the Jet 578008 and it worked like a charm. Easy to change accessories, good power & balance. Nice model with lots of power and surface area.

The JET 577102 Bench Grinder B00004T9KW was definitely our favorite 8 Inch Bench Grinders. That being said, there were a few other really premium 8 Inch Bench Grinders we wanted to show you here that barely missed first place.

Jet is yet another major maker of Bench Grinders. They make the tool next on our lineup. Jet's Bench Grinders are one of their top tools. I was ready to have a go at the model 578008 and I was not disappointed!

The Jet 578008 Bench Grinder, at $329.00 is a particularly excellent Bench Grinder for the money. The Jet 578008 is really a solid option. Of you are unsure about our number one pick, I'd advise to select this Bench Grinder.
