I saw a couple grinders that had low RPM's, I wonder if these would work
better that the 3400 RPM's. I saw another one at the about 3400 RPM that

I did a small job biulding a tie post for a friend and I am using the money
to buy a bigger grinder. I am looking at $80.00 - 100.00 if that helps
finding a decent grinder

I'm sure they're not in the same class as an industrial-strength
Baldor, but the Ryobi 3600 RPM 8" looks like pretty decent value for
$59 US (Home Depot-- about 1/10 the $600+ street price of a new
1800RPM 3/4HP 8" Baldor such as the 8100WD). But then I don't do big
stuff very often.
