Avadon Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Just dug out a second bench grinder i had mothballed in the garage. Thought I might just sell it but then I thought maybe i should just set it up and use it. I already have 1 Jet Bench Grinder with course and medium stone 1 KMG Belt Grinder 1 Jet 2HP Buffer/sander with buffer on one side and wire wheel on the other So if I set up this second Jet Bench Grinder what kind of wheels might be good for it? My primary work is bladesmithing and blacksmithing/fabrication so should i put like a fine stone and maybe a really fine stone? What are good wheel options? Questions, comments, advice welcome..

Avadon Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Second thought I think i'll replace the bearings in the bench grinder but when I take all the screws out the motor halves will not come apart. Anyone know how I can get these cups on the ends to come off? Do they have some kind of retaining pin inside them. They almost seems like something inside it is holding it together but i've taken out every screw. What up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-ski Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I would recemmend a SCOTCH-BRITE deburring/blending wheel. (For those not familiar with a deburring wheel, it is a wheel made of a hard resinous material with abrasive embedded in the resin. It usually comes in medium and fine grades) I use mine a lot to finish punches and chisels, dress hammer faces, etc. A big plus compared to a stone wheel is it does not leave scratches in the metal.

The other thing I thought of was one of those super fine wheels for doing stuff like sharpening drill bits and chisels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkrankow Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Could also put on a narrow wheel for getting into tight areas easier. I like that Scotch-brite wheel, that seems like a handy deal. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
