Ideal for workshops – re-sharpening of tools e.g. chisels etc. Maximised cut rate, wheel life and finish on High-Speed Steel (HSS), High Carbon Steel (HCS), cast iron and chilled steel
Deburring steel and thread rods.
Shaping of ferrous metals (carbon steel, steel, iron, tungsten, forgings, etc.)
Grinding wheel supplied with bushes to accommodate other benchgrinder shaft diameters.
Bench grinding wheels are mostly made of aluminium oxide that consistently renews itself when in use. It also has a reduced chance of overheating and clogs less frequently. The disadvantage is that these wheels may need to be replaced more often.
Differences between machines: Some bench grinders are smoother and quieter running than others. Some machines might have adjustable speed to prevent overheating. The tool rests might also vary from having a V-grooved to an angled toolrest to allow the grinding of drill bits etc.
