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 our favorite 8 Inch Grinders. Nevertheless, there were a few other really premium 8 Inch Grinders worth showcasing here that only just missed first place.

Jet is another major maker of Grinders. They produce the tool next up on our list. Jet's Bench Grinders are among their premier tools. It was great to check out the 578008. I was very satisfied with this tool!

The model 578008 Bench Grinder by Jet, at $329.00 is a particularly excellent Grinder for the price. If you unsure about our top pick, I'd check out the Jet 578008 next. It's a top quality tool at a good price.
