The Alltrade 6-inch bench grinder is a rugged, vintage workshop tool designed for heavy-duty sharpening, grinding, and metal shaping tasks. Operating on a 1/2-horsepower electric motor, this model features dual grinding wheels with adjustable protective spark shields and tool rests to ensure safe and stable workpieces. The grinder is securely mounted on a tall, cast-metal pedestal stand with a weighted circular base, allowing it to stand independently in a workshop without taking up valuable workbench space. Its durable, textured metal housing and robust internal bearings provide the necessary weight to minimize vibration and prevent walking during high-RPM operations. The grinder is sold as is.
