With the 8" low-speed King Canada bench grinder you're much less likely to overheat a tool edge. And the friable white aluminum oxide grinding wheels cut faster and generate less heat than silicone carbide wheels. This makes them ideal for sharpening chisels, plane blades, turning tools, shop knives and other precision cutting tools.
The KC KC-895LS features a 1/2 HP, 1,750 RPM low-speed motor, a cast-iron base with rubber feet to reduce vibration, and 60-grit and 120-grit wheels. It comes with both regular and magnifying adjustable shatter-resistant plastic eye shields, tool rests and a diamond wheel dressing tool.
