Porter Cable VS Grinder

[Rich Aldrich]

Has anyone check out the Porter Cable VS bench grinder? I saw one in Lowe's for $129 today - the first time I ever saw one. I can't find it seraching google.

Rich,
It is probably the same as the old Delta 6" DELTA-GR275 (http://www.amazon.com/DELTA-GR275-Variable-Grinder-Tool-Less/dp/B0007WWHZC) or 8" DELTA-GR450 (http://www.amazon.com/DELTA-GR450-ShopMaster-8-Inch-Grinder/dp/B0000B3AQQ). Check to see if it doesn't just have a new paint job and label...

Being a Porter Cable & Delta dealer I can tell you from what I've heard from Black and Decker corporate that this is NOT a Delta unit and is actually Lowes licensing the Porter Cable name from Black and Decker to make some of their own product. You probably wont see this tool or some of the others coming down the turnpike at any of your small independently owned dealers, just the big boxes.

Guys, please let me know what you think of the product if and when you do pick up some of these new benchtop tools. I've had a discussion or two with B & D and may make a push to bring'em in if you guys are happy with'em.

So remember we're listening to what you want, let us know your thoughts!
