I have a 6", 3/4 hp bench grinder I bought when a tool truck came to town.
It is a good size, but no power.. JUNK to me.
Does HF, HD or Sears have a good grinder that can use a wire wheel with out
bogging down?
What size, hp and amps would I look for that will not grunt or stop on me...
TIA

I bought A Wilton 8" Silver Series A week ago from Menards. It's rated at one horse but who knows? So far I have no complaints and for less than 50 bucks I don't see any down side. Wilton sell's a gold series also that has cast aluminum tool rests which sound better than the stamped steel I have but Menards doesn't handle it. Good luck with your search!.
