Review: Impressive peice of equipment, performs great! - I've had it for about a month now, I bought this to use with a Trick Tools Multitool Belt & disk combination tool. My other grinder was an older Clark 8" 3450 rpm 8.0 amp 3/4 HP rated bench grinder. it could not handle the 2" x 36" belt sander for much in the way of metal deburring or corner shaping of anything over 1/8" in thickness gauge without bogging down. The work I planned to do with the trick tools multitool was too much for it so after much researching about I came to the Jet model IBG-8 1 hp 8 inch bench grinder model. Upon receiving, unboxing and assembling the Jet IBG-8 with the Multitool mounted in the process I have to admit I was impressed with the fit, finish, and build quality of this unit. I have run and worked with some really old Baldor heavy industrial bench grinders in the past when I work in a couple of different fabrication shops years ago, so I am familiar with what makes a better quality unit. This Jet unit comes across as a quality unit, runs smooth and fairly quite with power to spare using my new Multitool as well as a small bit of use on the remaining 60 grit 8" grinding wheel on the other side. The retainer/mounting plates for the grinding wheels are a thicker heavier milled set of plates as you would expect to find on a quality industrial grinder, no cheap pressed out basically oversized washers here, but the real deal. I did need to fiddle with the wheel set up and balance a bit, but followed their directions on it and did fine. Setting this unit up with the 8" 60 grit wheel on one side and the Multitool on the other after tuning up the wheel has it running very smooth, and quite. I have as of yet to do any deburring, sanding, or grinding with either the Multitool or the 8" wheel that showed the slightest strain or slow down on the grinder motor or speed. I have to date worked with 11ga. through 1/2" bar plate mild carbon steel on the belt grinder without so much as a bog down or motor strain of any kind during the operations. The motor comes up to full speed nearly instantaneously when you switch it on with no hesitation winding up to speed and maintaining it through out your work. Overall I would highly recommend it to a small shop operation, this one's a keeper! Maybe later I will edit and add a couple of photos!
Review: Near perfect grinder. - I do blacksmithing as a hobby and in that time, I used a 35 year old Delta grinder for some of the work. While the grinder was ok, it would easily get stalled if I got aggressive at all on the grinding. So I looked around and went with this grinder because of the reviews and because of the HP. My initial trial runs seem very positive. It spins up to full speed in just a few seconds. I tried a bit of grinding including pushing a larger piece against with a modest amount of force. It handled it very well with no sign of slowing down. So far, very happy. A few minor issues. Not enough to keep from buying it but things I think they could improve. And this first one is very minor. The anal retentive side of me wishes the safety glass was better centered over the wheels. They are offset by a bit and I'm not sure why. I'll look later to make sure I didn't do something wrong with the setup. The other one which is actually kind of annoying for me is the lack of a courtesy wrench for tightening and adjusting the grinder. Yes, I have more than enough wrenches around the garage but it would have been nice to have a dedicated one that just stayed with the grinder. I had the one that came with my old grinder and it stayed attached to the front of the grinder using a magnet. I never had to go grab a wrench when adjusting. I will probably pick one up but considering the cost of this grinder, either toss a wrench in for free or bump the price up just a few dollars to cover it. Once again, neither issue would have caused me to not buy this grinder or downgrade the review. I highly recommend it (so far).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does this one compare to Jets other grinder, model 577102 which spec wise seems identical except the color?**
A: This one is built to a much higher standard. 1) The wheel flanges on this grinder are large and machined, 577102 has cheap, smaller, stamped steel flanges. What does that mean? The wheels will always run truer on this grinder. 2) The motor on this grinder  is another league compared to 577102, equal written specs don't always mean equal performance or durability. This Grinder while pre-wired to run off 120 volts, can also be set up to run off 220 volts. That means longer motor life and easier starting when operating it at 220 volts. The 577102 is strictly 120 volt,. 3) There is the exhaust ports, the ones on this one exit in the back/side toward the center of the grinder to a "T" the 577102 has an oval exit behind each wheel. That means this one is allot easier to hook up to dust collection equipment the longer port length also lessons sparks catching anything on fire. You can look at the two manuals on Jet's website and it spells things out with pics too. 4) Lastly is the switch this grinder has a more expensive removable lock out, 577102 has a cheap toggle switch. This grinder is also OSHA approved for industry where 577102 is not, most likely because of the power switch, OSHA's picky about power switches, they must be large, red and easy to access and lock out.

**Q: What is the RPM of this grinder?**
A: The listed RPM is 3600 @ 60hz 11 amp @ 115V, 5.5 amp @ 230V should you change the setup over to 230V, it comes setup for 115 operation, easy to follow their manual to change the wiring setup to 230.  I was going to but didn't bother because this grinder is a beast @ the 115V.  I use it with a VanSant MultiTool Belt grinder attachment for steel & other metal fabrication, finishing edges, deburring, and some shaping.  Also use the 60 grit on the other side of the grinder for assorted grinder tasks. It comes up to speed almost immediately and so far has not bogged down on anything I've done wit it.   Great machine so far not a complaint..!  This unit is a Made in Taiwan machine vs a mainland republic of China unit.  Hope this helps!

**Q: What is shaft size?**
A: The bench grinder has a 5/8" shaft diameter.

**Q: Is this a variable speed or single speed?**
A: This is a single speed motor, smooth and powerful

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality grinder super quite, little vibration, and very smooth running
*by D***A on February 20, 2018*

I have had this unit for over a month now and I am impressed by how smooth and quiet it runs is compared to the DeWalt I sent back!! This grinder has all the horse power you will need. I installed a wire wheel on one side and it didn't take me very long to realize I have to hold on very firmly to the piece I am cleaning or the wheel will rip it out of my hand. I could say I would like to see is a bigger guide table to rest the work on but that is really so minor it's just a wish. This grinder stays put when you turn it on and has very very little vibration, only that of the motor which is to be expected. DeWalt should take lessons on how to build a grinder that doesn't think it's a dance instructor when tuned on.
