JET 8" Bench Grinder with Wire Wheel - 1 HP, Cast-Iron Base & Tool Rests | Model JBG-8W | 1 HP, 115V, 8A, 1Ph | 15A circuit | 3,450 RPM | 8" 36-grit + 8" wire wheel | 2-Year Warranty

1 HP MOTOR, CAST-IRON BUILD. A 1 HP capacitor-start induction motor drives both 8-inch wheels at 3,450 RPM. The base, motor housing, inner wheel guards and tool rests are cast iron, and four rubber feet sit under a 54 lb machine, so the grinder stays planted when you lean a workpiece into the wheel.

TWO WHEELS, TWO JOBS. The left side carries an 8 x 1 in., 36-grit vitrified aluminum oxide grinding wheel for shaping, stock removal and restoring edges. The right side carries an 8 x 1/2 in. crimped steel wire wheel with plated copper for stripping rust, scale, paint and burrs. When the wire tips dull, reverse the brush on the arbor.TWO WHEELS, TWO JOBS: The left side carries an 8 x 1 in., 36-grit vitrified aluminum oxide grinding wheel for shaping, stock removal and restoring edges.

MADE FOR STEEL, NOT ALUMINUM. Use it to sharpen chisels, screwdrivers and drill bits, remove excess metal, and smooth metal surfaces. Do not grind aluminum or magnesium on the grinding wheel - it is a fire hazard. The supplied 36-grit wheel is coarse; fit a finer 8 x 1 x 5/8 in. wheel for precision sharpening. Accepts most polishing and buffing wheels.
