Suggestions for table belt grinder

I am looking for a table grinder. One to mount to my workbench. Perhaps a dual sided machine. Do I head done to Sears or is there some secret???

What will you use it for exactly? If just smoothing rough parts or wirewheeling/buffing stuff, a Sears bench grinder should be fine.

If you are planning to use it to sharpen chisels and other implements, I'd suggest a sharpening center like this one from Delta.

it is mostly for grinding, shaping, polishing, etc.

I picked up a Wilton bench grinder with work light for $55. I have only used it for about 15 minutes, but for the $$$ it is good and will more than do the job.

PLus, I have a Wilton vise and I am VERY happy with their quality and it has a decent warranty.
I picked it up at my local Northern Tool
