Bench grinders are a must-have for any workshop. Using a sturdy, abrasive wheel, this benchtop device is perfect for sharpening just about any tool with ease.
But bench grinders aren’t exclusively used for sharpening. In some circumstances, they can help buff, polish or even shape certain metal or wooden objects. While you can’t necessarily replace a sander with one, you can certainly get a nice sheen by using it carefully.
Whether you’re maintaining your day-to-day tools or adding some smooth texture to a finished item, a Mastercraft bench grinder or MAXIMUM tool sharpener would be the way to go.
What is the difference between corded and cordless bench grinders?
Corded bench grinders allow for stable, stationary setup for sharpening or buffing, while cordless bench grinders allow you to be more agile and mobile with buffing and polishing. Just be mindful that batteries will need to be charged and can add some weight to the grinder.
Do bench grinders need to be bolted down?
Yes, a bench grinder should be permanently fastened to your workstation. There should be no movement or risk of falling over during use.
Will a bench grinder work on wood?
You should avoid grinding any plastic or wood materials on a bench grinder. There are some bench grinder wheels that can be inserted to become wood-safe, but you would need to confirm with the safety manual and specifications before using wood against it.
What to look for in the best bench grinder?
The main factors you should look for when finding the best bench grinder for you are wheel size and grit, wheel type, and motor function. These factors will determine what kind of materials you can use with the bench grinder and, therefore, what kind of tasks you can accomplish.
