After recent flooding I have to replace a few tools, one of which is an 8 inch bench grinder. Our insurance company likes to deal with Bunnings and this is the only 8 inch they have: https://www.bunnings.co.nz/aeg-550w-200mm-bench-grinder_p06230133

Anyone got any comments on this grinder?

Also this Ryobi Thicknesser? https://www.bunnings.co.nz/ryobi-1500w-planer-thicknesser_p00254317

Thanks

Can’t comment on the planer, but that grinder is pretty sweet looking. I have an 8″ Ryobi grinder that’s remarkably similar to that AEG and it been pretty good.
