This bench grinder has been specifically developed for sharpening tough alloys such as A2 and M2 high speed steels which are used in the manufacture of woodturning tools, chisels, knives, plane irons and carving tools.

Both wheels are made from aluminium oxide which are better suited than carborundum wheels, found on most bench grinders. The wheels have a medium bond and density strength meaning that they run cooler and are less prone to glazing. The coarse, grey aluminium oxide wheel is 20mm wide and is fast cutting to remove nicks and to shape and establish a basic edge. The fine, white aluminium oxide wheel is 40mm wide is used to refine and add the final cutting edge.

The high torque motor has ample power for significant stock removal and is extremely quiet in operation. Mounted on a heavy cast base with a steel frame the bench grinder has substantial mass to dampen vibration. Clear 2x magnification spark guards can be angled to suit your line of vision and the onboard LED lamp gives you illumination exactly where you need it. Mounted to the head of the grinder is a detachable stone grader for re-surfacing the wheel when worn.

This is an excellent choice for the woodworking shop for the shaping and sharpening of fine edge tools. ©
