Aluminium oxide grinding wheels are the woodworker’s choice for bench grinding wheels as they provide a cool yet maximum cutting rate on hardened tool and high-speed steel commonly found in woodworking tools.

The grit refers to the density of the crystalline structure of the plate – the higher the density the slower the material stock removal – therefore acting as a “finer grit” but this also can lead to increased heat build-up with the chance of changing the structure of the cutting edge or “burning” the edge.

We generally recommend a 46 or 60 “Grit” wheel for most woodworking applications.

We have sold the Abrasiflex grinding wheels for more than 20 years now because –

·      The white aluminum oxide is held in a premium vitrified bond

·      Each wheel contains nested bushings to accommodate a wide variety of standard arbor sizes

·      The performance of Abrasiflex wheels is on par with other brands but offers great value-for-money

A simple method of dressing grinder wheels – the coarse grit is harder than aluminium oxide and will slowly but effectively true up the plate and expose new a cutting face on bench grinder wheels.

This grinder is purpose-built to sharpen jointer and planer blades up to 24in long. It works by running the 6in aluminium oxide wheel horizontally with a 375W (1/2HP) motor running at 2800RPM, and the blade carriage passing across the face of the stone.

The carriage is adjustable to suit all bevel angles for machine blades. Remove the carriage and use the included small tool jig for grinding planer blade and cabinet chisels, or attach the drill bit sharpening attachments to touch up your twist drills.

Solid cast-iron body construction with included cast-iron base for extra stability when in use. This unique machine will quickly save time and hassle by moving your sharpening service in-house.

Skews are among the trickiest tools to use in turning without causing digs.

To prevent digs, this jig allows you to grind a slight radius rather than a straight 20° skew. It can be used on just about any grinder; all you need to do is drill a 6.4mm (1/4in) hole in the tool rest (if required) to hold the base pin.

The radius of the grind is determined by the amount the skew projects from the jig. After grinding one side, you flip the skew to the other side of the jig and repeat.

The skew is clamped in position, which leaves both hands free to regulate grinding pressure and travel across the wheel.

The pin is steel; otherwise, the jig is brass and anodized aluminum.
