The Axminster Edge E15G Wide Bench Grinder is excellent for home workshops, woodturners or those who will use for the odd job for a variety of sharpening tasks such as maintaining chisels, plane irons, woodturning tools and a wide range of workshop equipment.
The smooth 250W motor powers the 150mm aluminium oxide grinding wheels: a 20mm wide 60 grit wheel on one side and a 40mm wide 80 grit wheel on the other. The 20mm wheel is ideal for general grinding and reshaping of metal, while the wider 40mm wheel is designed for sharpening and honing the edges of woodturning tools and other workshop tools. White aluminium oxide stones have a lesser tendency to overheat and chisel or blade, however a light touch when sharpening is always best.
The E15G Wide Bench Grinder has strong tool rests, which can be angled and locked in position for stability and accuracy. Spark guards and eye shields help keep you protected from sparks and debris. A magnifying lens is included eye shield for detailed work. The machine is mounted on rubber feet to reduce vibration and noise, enhancing comfort.
Note: When a grinder is new or when changing stones, it is important to dress the stones to ensure the front face runs true. The grinder is supplied with a diamond dresser.
