Just in time for the holidays, my first gloat...
My no-brand 8" grinder kicked the bucket a little while back, and rather than buy another cheapo unit, I've been trolling craigslist, etc. for an old Baldor or the like. Today I walked into my favorite hardware store and on the shelf sat a new-in-box, US made Milwaukee grinder. It wasn't dead cheap, but I was happy to shell out $175 for an unused, US made, quality tool! Nothing like Milwaukee red to bring out the holiday spirit. Good thing my wife is still trying to find me a present. :D
