Sherwood 8in Slow Speed CBN Wheel Bench Grinder 1400RPM 375W with HeliGrind Set

Sherwood's ultimate bench grinder kit for those ready to take their sharpening seriously.

Please note: In swapping the Aluminium Oxide wheel to a CBN wheel, the side cover on the left no longer fits due to the larger wheel, because of this the stock tool rests no longer fit. For this reason, we included the Heligrind Toolrest Jig. 

Caution: CBN Grinding Wheels are designed to be used to sharpen hardened Steel or Carbide. Sharpening non-heat treated steel, aluminium or other soft metals will damage the CBN Grinding Wheel.

Sherwood 8in Slow Speed Bench Grinder 1400RPM 375W

The Sherwood 8in Slow Speed Bench Grinder is purpose-built to run at just 1400RPM, preserving edge temper, reducing the risk of burning, and delivering cool, clean grinds. With cast-iron stability, and high-torque motor performance, this grinder is the ideal companion for sharpening chisels, plane blades, and carving tools. Crystal-clear perspex eye shields provide better visibility and added safety during grinding tasks.

Why CBN wheels over Aluminium Oxide?

Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) wheels are machined from solid steel and are bonded with Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN). CBN wheels have 4 times higher abrasive resistance, 55 times higher thermal conductivity and twice the hardness of aluminium oxide wheels. 

These wheels can make almost any grinder perform at a much higher level. Just think about not having to prepare your grinding stone by dressing and shaping it each time, simply turn on your grinder and get to sharpening without any hassle.

One of the main advantages of CBN wheels is that you can sharpen without the requirement of coolant as the wheels don't overheat or burn the tools. These wheels provide excellent removal of steel whilst also delivering a sharp edge and smooth finish with very little effort and less heat damage to your tools.
