The JET 577102 Bench Grinder B00004T9KW was really our number one 8 Inch Grinders. That being said, there are several other really great options when it comes to 8 Inch Grinders. We have a breakdown of them here.

Apart from the tools we covered already, I would definitely have a look at the Genesis GBG800L and the Bucktool TDS-200C4HL. Both Genesis and Bucktool are thought to be some of the best manufacturers of high quality Grinders. Both of these two options are rated highly as well. Users gave the GBG800L an average rating of 4.0/5 stars. You can compare that to the TDS-200C4HL which boasts an average score of 4.7/5 stars.

The Genesis GBG800L comes with a couple of features you might not experience on other similar Bench Grinders. For example Powerful - 1/2 HP Induction Motor for Quiet, Smooth Performance | ½ HP for sharpening blades, chisels, and other grindingsharpening applications. The Bucktool TDS-200C4HL although, is very competitive offering Powerful 1750RPM low-speed induction motor, Rating power 3/4Hp; Peak power 1-1/4Hp, easy to drive CBN wheel plus Unique 1-1/2 Inch wide first-class WA grinding wheel, best for carpenters, turners, carvers;Left 8" x 1" x 5/8"(shaft) 80 grit,right 8" x 1-1/2" x 5/8"(shaft)120 grit..
