Bench Grinder

[arjudy]

I'm looking to purchase a new 8" bench grinder and need some suggestions. I'm looking for a variable speed type. Which ones do you all use?

Delta, got mine from Lowe's.Variable speed and came with one
regular gray wheel, and most importantly, one nice white wheel.
The white wheel is a finer grade and makes a smoother cut with less heat than the gray.
And it runs like a champ!

Woodcraft slow speed grinder -- comes with reasonable white wheels, too

Delta...

Delta 8 inch from the orange box. tossed the gray wheel and got another white one.

Ditto on the Delta 8". FWI, if you decide to get the Wolverine sharpening system, an 8" is needed unless you build a plateform for the 6".

Thanks for the replies. I got the Delta today at Lowes.
