In my experience, Jet brand tools have been unreasonably expensive versions of import tools identical to less expensive ones. That seems a high price tag for what it is. I would recommend looking around; I bet you find an alternative that looks uncannily similar, like it came off the same production line in the same factory in China, but got a different pain job, for half the price.
EDIT:
I found its clones. Here's the exact same tool with Craftsman and Dayton logos. Can't get a price comparison because that grinder is discontinued by both of them (maybe a red flag).

I think you should make one like Jeromy Schmidt did. You can find his videos and get complete plans from him if you need them. A beautifully designed 2x72. He recently put one out that has improvements to the original. He did it W/O most machine tools but it would be easier with a mill. Find it here >>>
