Package Deal: Bench Grinder with CBN Wheel & Woodturners Chisel Sharpening System. Package Includes: BG6, BGCS4 & CBN6180
BG6 Bench Grinder: with 6" diameter wheels, can be used for all grinding, sharpening and shaping tasks around the workshop.
We have developed this model particularly for woodturners by fitting it with a 40mm wide fine white stone grinding wheel. The extra width allows virtually all turning tools to be sharpened.
The white stone helps to prevent heat build up and is used for sharpening heat sensitive tools such as High Speed Steel (HSS).
The other end of the grinder is fitted with a coarse Aluminium Oxide grey stone for fast removal of material. Perfect if you get a chipped chisel tip and need to remove a lot of material.
The grinder is driven by a smooth and quiet induction motor with ample power for all sharpening and grinding operations.
An integral work light on a flexible shaft ensures that the work area is well lit at all times.
Each wheel is fitted with a spark guard, which can adjusted as the stone wears down to maintain maximum safety. A one piece steel tool rest is similarly adjustable and can be quickly removed should you wish to fit a polishing wheel. For doing close up work, one of the eye shields doubles as a 3 times magnifier.
The grinder sits on 4 rubber feet to provide a stable platform. It can also be secured to a work bench using the 2 mounting points provided.
The inclusion of the wheel dressing tool allows the stones to be reshaped and squared off as they wear down, giving a long and productive life span.
Supplied with spark guards, eye shields (1 with magnifier), tool rests, coolant tray, wheel dresser, 1.75m cable and UK 3 pin plug.
BGCS4 Universal sharpening system: for wood turners can be used in conjunction with a bench grinder to create accurate cutting angles and straight edges.
The system consists of 2 base clamps which are fitted underneath each wheel of the grinder allowing concurrent grinding set ups. The base clamp has a quick action lock to quickly change between different chisel types.
There then 4 attachments which can be fitted into either base clamps for sharpening particular types of chisels:
- Long Support Arm – For Bowl Gouges & Roughing Gouges
- Skew Jig Attachment – For Flat or Curved Skews & Scrapers
- Fingernail Gouge Jig – For Fingernail Gouges & Spindle Gouges
- Flat Platform – For Parting Tools, Straight Edge Skews & Bench Chisels
Compatible with most 6" and 8" double end bench grinders. Ideally both the bench grinder and the base clamp should be fixed to the bench to ensure repeatable results. For a more portable solution attach everything to a base board which can be moved off the bench when required.
INCLUDES:
- Left & right base clamp
- Long Support Arm
- Fingernail Gouge Jig
- Skew Jig Attachment
- Flat platform
- Instructions
CBN6180 CBN Wheel: CBN is an abbreviation for Cubic Boron Nitride. It is an abrasive material. Cubic Boron Nitride is the second-hardest known material after diamond, making it useful in a wide variety of industrial applications.
CBN wheels are possibly the ultimate material for sharpening tools made of High Speed Steel (HSS).
The wheel consists of a metal body which is coated in a plating process with a layer of CBN grain. Plated wheels never change size or shape therefore eliminating time-consuming re-profiling.
Wheel Size: 150mm x 38mm x 12.7mm Bore
Important: If you are used to using an aluminium oxide wheel, be aware that CBN wheels do not require much force, just a little backup pressure for the weight of the tool. Too much pressure can generate excessive heat and may harm the wheel. CBN grinding grains are as hard as diamond grains and will do the work for you without any effort and in a very short time.
