How to Choose the Best Bench Grinder

While there are many quality benchtop grinders available, finding the right fit for your needs will depend upon where you plan to use it and what types of work you'll be doing. Consider these questions when shopping for your bench grinder to help you find the perfect fit.

Where Will You Be Working? 

If you plan to do most of your work at your home or business, consider a large bench grinder that can be secured to your workbench to deliver the power you need. The fixed position of your benchtop grinder allows you to use both hands to work your materials, as well as providing additional safety. Add a bench grinder stand for further customization.

When your work requires a little more mobility, find small angle grinders for easy portability and maneuverability. 

Will You Be Sharpening Tools?

While almost any bench grinder can be used for sharpening tools, you may want to consider a specific style if this is the main purpose of your grinder. High-speed grinders are popular for welding preparation, while lower-speed grinders are ideal for tool sharpening, as there is less chance of overheating the edge of your tools.

When you need an electric bench grinder that does both, try a variable speed grinder that delivers the power you need for shaping metal while preserving the lifespan of your tools.
