Jet Variable Speed Grinder For New Maker

Josh Perdue said:
I’ve decided I’m just gonna chill out and save more money and get a 2x72 with variable speed. With all this advice from people with experience I’d be a fool not to wait and get what’s recommended.

I kind of made a snap decision and did not get variable speed. I regret it, and have only ground out 4 blades (one forged, the other three stock removal).

If I had spent a few hundred more I could have gotten the speed adjustable. I will love with the fast grinder for now. I have to dip every pass when doing belts above 120 grit. Burns tips pretty fast on thin points.
 
A good VFD you can use all over the shop. With a rotary cam switch you can use the same one for your grinder, disc sander, buffer etc.
