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 number one 8 Inch Grinders. Nevertheless, there were a handful of other truly premium 8 Inch Grinders we wanted to showcase here that barely missed first place.

Next up is made by Jet which is a very trusted tool manufacturer. Jet's Bench Grinders are great as well. I was eager to try the model 578008 and I was not let down!

The model 578008 Bench Grinder by Jet, at $329.00 is an especially exceptional Grinder for the money. If you unsure about our top choice, I'd consider the Jet 578008 next. It's a top quality tool at a great price.
