Itinerant Air-Cooled

I want to get a bench grinder, but don't know how big/powerful of a one I need to do routine maintenance stuff around the garage. I would like the smallest possible to save space, but i don't want a dog either....

How many HPs do you all suggest? What about wheel size?

Thanks

This is the one I wish I had bought instead of the 6" (although it has served me well for 10 years.

I bought a couple of wire brushes for mine and that is the side I normally use 85 of the time.

3/4 horse, 8 inch ought to do it.

Also a nice buffing wheel.

I just went out and looked at it and I do have the 8" grinder. I use it all of the time.

I have a few different wheels for it.

This is one of my next purchases for the garage. Delta is a good brand? What are some other decent candidates?
