Sharpen and shape with confidence using the Rikon 8” x 1-1/2” Slow Speed Bench Grinder. Its powerful 1 HP motor tackles the toughest grinding jobs common in production shops, while still offering the finesse and control needed for shaping and sharpening hand tools. Wide 1-1/2” wheels give you more surface area than a standard grinder, reducing heat build-up so your edges stay cool and your temper stays intact. That extra width also means you can complete a grind from wing to wing in a single pass, saving time and giving you a cleaner, more consistent edge.
Cast iron bases with rubber feet keep the machine steady and vibration-free, while mounting holes in the base let you bolt it securely to a bench or stand. Adjustable cast metal tool rests give solid support at any angle, and adjustable safety eye shields with 2.5x magnification let you inspect your edge up close while you work. Adjustable spark shields add another layer of protection, and dual 1-1/4” O.D. dust collection ports on the rear of the wheel guards keep grinding dust from piling up on your bench.
Aluminum oxide grinding wheels deliver excellent cutting action across both included grits: 60 grit for rough grinding and metal removal, and 120 grit for final sharpening and shaping.
