Charnwood 8" Bench Grinder with 40 mm White Wheel
Charnwood BG8
Ref: BG8
Charnwood have developed this model particularly for woodturners by fitting it with a 40mm wide fine white stone grinding wheel.
- The extra width allows virtually all turning tools to be sharpened.
- The white stone helps to prevent heat build up and is used for sharpening heat sensitive tools such as High Speed Steel (HSS).
- The other end of the grinder is fitted with a coarse Aluminium Oxide grey stone for fast removal of material.
- Perfect if you get a chipped chisel tip and need to remove a lot of material.
- The grinder is driven by a smooth and quiet induction motor with ample power for all sharpening and grinding operations.
- An integral work light on a flexible shaft ensures that the work area is well lit at all times.
- Each wheel is fitted with a spark guard, which can adjusted as the stone wears down to maintain maximum safety.
- A one piece steel tool rest is similarly adjustable and can be quickly removed should you wish to fit a polishing wheel.
- For doing close up work, one of the eye shields doubles as a 3 times magnifier.
- The grinder sits on 4 rubber feet to provide a stable platform.
- It can also be secured to a work bench using the 2 mounting points provided.
- The inclusion of the wheel dressing tool allows the stones to be reshaped and squared off as they wear down, giving a long and productive life span.
- Supplied with spark guards, eye shields (1 with magnifier), tool rests, coolant tray, wheel dresser, 1.75m cable and UK 3 pin plug.
