The 6 Best Jet Industrial Bench Grinders (2023 reviews)

The look and feel of this grinders are consistent with the high quality we're used to from the rest of Jet's lineup. 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. It comes with a nice wheel dresser and dust collection adapter. If you need precision for sharpening fine steel, you'll have to work at it to get it out of this grinder. It also has a cheaper on/off switch.

This Grinder is pre-wired to run off 120 volts, and can also be set up to run off 220 volts. The wheels take a long time to spin down, so the bearings must be good ones. This thing is a beast of a grinder. It is however a very heavy duty grinder for household use or light commercial use.

Why We Like This:

Good investment for long term
Good brand reputation

Best With vacuum: Jet Bench Grinder

Buy on Amazon

Compared with other products by Jet, the jet bench grinder has a convenient design. This bench grinder has absolutely no vibration straight out of the box. There's a lot of copper in this motor. The industrial motor is smaller in diameter than the wheels. There is a larger diameter flat surface on the inside (against the wheel) and a smaller diameter flat surface on the outside (against the nut or shaft shoulder) with about 1/8" offset. This will allow you to get a perfect fit on the 1/2" shaft.

This grinder is so smooth and quiet, built like a tank, much heavier with no vibration. The motor is strong and runs with little if any vibration. It runs smooth,extremely well balanced. This is great for keeping the wheels from loosening up during operation, but makes it really tough for loosening and tightening down the nuts when changing wheels, especially if you end up with them both loose/off at the same time.

Why We Like This:

Spins up quickly with almost no vibration
Nice heavy cast iron wheel guard and tool rest
New and hot release

Best With Light: Jet Nice Grinder
