JET 8-Inch Bench Grinder, 3450 RPM, 12 HP, 1Ph 115V JBG-8A

This Jet JBG-8A bench grinder has received positive customer reviews who have been using it in production shops and workshops. The unit is well-built and comes with thick machined tool rest and cast iron stone guards. The wheels included with the grinder are of a better quality than basic grinders. The model is not variable speed, but it has two speeds for most tasks. The motor can spool up fast and deliver more power, although it falls short in excelling at specific tasks. It has the power for polishing, but not enough for efficient results. Regarding sharpening, it works well for drill bits, but not suitable for fine sharpening. The angle of the tool rests is not adjustable. The grinder can accommodate 8” wheel 1 1/2” wide and 5/8 arbor. The base is 8 7/16" long by 6 1/4" wide. It is suitable for general grinding and wire brushing components, but a professional grinder has more copper in the motor, making it spool up faster and deliver more power. Overall, it is a solid all-rounder, built well enough to be able to modify if required, and a good value for money.
