I am going to look at the 8" craftsman today Craftsman Variable Speed 8 Bench Grinder: Power Up With DealsSears if I get some time. They have one with a wire wheel and a grinding stone that is variable speed for $120. It got OK reviews, at least better than the dewalt. Next would be a Jet 8" with 1 HP that has pretty good reviews but it jumps up to $250.
