Tripleeeng,
In my book, Baldor was the king of bench grinders. In this day and age your choices will be junk from China or other stuff from China.
Bench grinders aren't too technical so even the Chinese makes are OK for the home shop. Grizzly makes a bunch of different sizes and HP's and they are quite cost effective.
The other option would be to hunt down a old 'made in the USA' brand on craigslist, e-bay or a school district surplus sale.
I have two offshore grinders at work and they have been humming along for 10 years plus. Add up what your piggy bank has in it and that will help you make a decision. Good luck.
Stuart
