Good performance bad QC. I ordered the 8” variable speed grinder and buffer both had scratches. I ordered two heavy duty stands and one dust collector stand That had scratches / dents. I ordered the jet 80 gallon air compressor that I returned because of scratches. Made in Taiwan not USA

This grinder has been phenomenal. It is a beast. The Variable speed is really a game changer making it easier to control the parts and application of differing jobs and wheels.

It was just as we wanted.

This Jet IBG-8VS grinder has been a welcome replacement to my old 8″ grinder which did the job but was really low in quality and average in performance. The ability to vary grinding speed has been of benefit and thus far I have not had any issues with its performance.Like others I too had to bypass the GFCI in order for this unit to work. As of this writing JET does not have a work around (to my knowledge). In my instance the circuit where the GFCI was bypassed the available outlets are not heavily used nor near any water sources so I was comfortable in simply removing it.I did purchase the light – it is NOT included – and it does the job though it seems a bit costly to me.
