Sherwood 8in Slow Speed CBN Wheel Benchtop 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.

HeliGrind Turning Tool Sharpening Kit

The HeliGrind Sharpening System is the only jig on the market that will sharpen gouges on the helical path – the ideal way to sharpen all your woodturning gouges. This type of grind is known as either a fingernail or sidegrind and is recommended but virtually impossible to grind accurately freehand. 

The HeliGrind is a versatile jig that is fixed in front of your bench grinder and has several attachments to simplify and make more accurate sharpening grinds of a range of different tools.

The Heligrind system is a hassle not repeatable.

The grinder switch failed after two weeks, but the service technician fixed it quickly and on the spot. Great service. The spacer was too short, and I had to buy a longer one.
I would strongly advise buying another system for sharpening. The Heligrind comes with limited instruction and the video was not great, but I set it up. It is a real hassle. The screws don't hold, and nothing locks properly. Reproducing the same grind is a hassle, and each time one disassembles the shelf to use the gouge system. After three weeks, I gave up and bought something I could set up and quickly reproduce the angles. Not recommended. Time wasting and inefficient.

Overpriced and very poor quality.

Overpriced and very poor quality.
When I received my grinder I took it to the shed and set it up only to be disapointed as it vibrated my entire shed. I contacted Timbecon who said they where sorry to hear that and attached a warranty form. The CBN wheels much heavier than the standard oxide wheels and they are very unballanced, after ordering bearings I balanced the wheels myself and also manufactured proper spacers. , now with around 8 hours of balancing and another $200. 00 the grinder runs properly, I do not recommend this product and do have all of the photos and video of the problem and rework required to fix it
