I'm shopping for a new single phase bench grinder for general purpose use in my maintenance shop. I currently have an Ironton which is a joke. It's always seemed to me that 3600 rpm is unnecessarily fast and annoying for a 8" wheel and brush. Baldor has a 8100W which is 1800rpm and Jet has a IBG-8VS which a variable speed 900-3600rpm. I'm budgeting $1k or less. I do not have 3 phase in my shop.
1) Has anyone used an 1800 rpm 8" setup?
2) Any other thoughts on bench grinders for general purpose use in a maintenance shop?
Thanks,
Roland
