Grinder Reviews Wanted

Post by mrhart »

After a recent sharpening class, I want to get the Wolverine sharpening system. This would be the primary use if the grinder. As far as brands,

Woodcraft has a grinder (forgot the brand name) for around $120 I think

Amazon has a Dewalt 8" on sale for about $140

Amazon has a Jet 8" on saled for about $240

Is the Jet so much better? Does dewalt make good powertools? (I know the battery powered tools are pretty hardy from what I've heard)
Or, does it really matter that much and should a guy go to HF for something as simplle as an 8" grinder?
