well my "cummins"tool grinder is now layin out in the yard,and i need to replace it with something else,it was a 6 inch.i got two choices,the hf 8 inch which i see has mixed reviews,and which is a 3/4hp,or i fdound a grinder on craigslist within 20 miles of me,it is a 1/2 hp dayton that looks to be a 8 or 10 inch model.it also has a stand,the guy doesnt seem to know much other than it weighs over 100 lb,is 110 volt and takes 3-4 min to stop turning after its shut off,he also said its made in usa.this is probably a no brainer,but which would you choose,the dayton is 70$ too.i do use it a few times a week also...
