Bench Grinders

Bench Grinders at The Woodturning Store

Bench grinders are essential tools in any workshop, providing versatility and precision for grinding, sharpening, and polishing. At The Woodturning Store, we offer high-quality bench grinders from trusted brands like JET Tools. Whether you’re a woodturner or a general woodworker, having a reliable bench grinder is critical for maintaining sharp tools and achieving smooth finishes. JET’s bench grinders are known for their durability, precision, and user-friendly designs.

What Makes Each Bench Grinder Different

JET bench grinders are available in various models, each designed to cater to different workshop needs. The primary differences lie in motor power, wheel size, and additional features like adjustable tool rests and built-in lights. For instance, JET offers models with powerful 1 HP motors for heavy-duty grinding and smaller models with 1/2 HP motors for lighter tasks. Additionally, JET bench grinders come with either 6-inch or 8-inch grinding wheels, allowing you to choose the size that best fits your project requirements.

Choosing the Right Bench Grinder

When selecting the right bench grinder, it’s essential to consider your specific needs. For sharpening tools and chisels, a model with a fine-grit wheel and tool rest adjustments is ideal. If you’re working with larger materials, a model with a powerful motor and coarser grinding wheel may be more suitable. The size of the grinding wheel (6-inch or 8-inch) will also influence your choice based on the precision required for your tasks. At The Woodturning Store, we offer a range of bench grinders to suit every workshop and application.

Bench Grinder Applications and What They Are Used For

Bench grinders are versatile tools used for a wide range of applications. They are commonly used for sharpening turning tools, chisels, and other cutting tools. Woodworkers also use bench grinders for shaping, polishing, and grinding down rough edges on metal and wood pieces. Some grinders come equipped with wire wheels for rust removal or buffing wheels for polishing, making them indispensable in metalworking and woodworking shops. For woodturners, bench grinders are vital for maintaining sharp woodturning tools by utilizing a CBN grinding wheel to ensure clean, precise cuts.
