Not sure why they dropped the old variable speed but not really an important feature to me. Also don't care much about a work light since I have plenty if I turn them all on in the garage. There wasn't a lot of info out about this one but what I saw was promising. Haven't really used it yet but it seems really nice. 2.5 seconds to full rpm by my very unscientific measurement. Little to no vibration. I think I'll be quite pleased with it.
Hey all--
Despite keeping my eyes open, apparently I missed three opportunity to get the well reviewed 8" variable speed Heracles bench grinder as it went on clearance.
Practically the same day it went to clearance, HF released the new 8" Bauer variable speed grinder. The image looks exactly the same. The only major differences I can find are that it costs $10 more and the HP rating is down to 3/4....despite having the same amp draw.
Anyone know if this isIs this just a re-badge? Or is there a substantive difference between the two, especially to justify a $10 increase?
