Bench grinders are designed to be securely mounted on a sturdy tool bench or on a metal pedestal that is bolted to the floor.

Each wheel has a protective guard mounted on it that leaves about a third of the wheel exposed. They can be very hazardous to you eyes. At the bottom of the wheel is a tool rest to support the item you are grinding and above that is a polycarbonate eye shield to protect you from sparks and metal debris.

Grindstones are primarily used to shape metal, sharpen chisels, lathe tools, and drill bits. 2. Wire brush wheels – These are one of the most handy wheels. Wire brush wheels are great for removing rust, scale, and corrosion from metal objects. A wire wheel can restore the surface of rusted metal to almost new condition. 3. Buffing wheels – These can restore a finish on plated and solid metal surfaces. Buffing wheels are composed of several layers of cloth stacked up and sewn together. Rubbing compound is applied to the buff and then used on the piece you are buffing. There are countless uses for a bench grinder and is a must have tool for your auto shop.
