RIKON 1 HP 8" Slow Speed Grinder

Details: 

Rikon® 8" Slow Speed Grinder - 1 HP - Model: 80-808, features a smooth starting, powerful 1 HP motor. With a larger size motor, you can tackle the tough grinding jobs that are typical in production shops, as well as the precision shaping and sharpening of hand tools. Tool rests on this machine are extra-large and flat, without a drill bit sharpening groove. Wheel flanges are cast metal. Grinder includes dual dust-collection ports on the rear of the wheel guards. The grinder operates at 1,750 RPM, which is ideal for sharpening operations because it reduces heat buildup and minimizes the possibility for “bluing.” This grinder comes equipped with two 1" x 8" white aluminum oxide grinding wheels mounted on a 5/8" arbor: one 120-grit wheel and one 60-grit wheel. The cast-iron base features anti-vibration rubber feet and is equipped with mounting holes for convenient attachment to a workbench or grinder stand. Grinder comes with work light, tool rests, eye shields, spark arrestors, 6' power cord and five-year warranty.
