I am looking at 8" bench grinders and seem to be down to 2 or 3 choices. I am looking for a slow speed grinder mainly for sharpening lathe chisels.
This delta variable speed grinder is $124 on amazon. It goes from 2000 to 3400 rpm has a light, and comes with a wheel dresser. The standard wheels are 36 and 60.
Don't know anything about this Powertech brand but it is $109 and comes with 2 white wheels I think 60 and 120. It is single speed 1750.
I was also looking at the Rikon at woodcraft. It is essentially the same spec as the Powertech. Dedicated 1750 rpm with 60 and 120 wheels for $140.
I just got the woodcraft Mailer yesterday and the have the Rikon on sale for $99 does this make it a no brainer or is there some benefit in the delta?
I am also looking at the turning chisel jigs like the wolverine and penn state any recomndations there also?
