The JET JWBG-8HS 8-inch Benchtop Grinder delivers dependable grinding, sharpening, and material preparation performance in a compact, easy-to-place format. Powered by a 1/2 HP induction motor operating on standard 120V single-phase power, it provides smooth 3,450 RPM wheel speed for woodworkers, mechanics, fabricators, trade schools, and small-shop craftsmen needing 8-inch grinding capacity without taking over workbench space.

Equipped with dual 8-inch brown fused alumina wheels, the machine features a 36-grit wheel for rapid material removal and tool reshaping, alongside a 60-grit wheel for fine sharpening. Adjustable aluminum work rests provide stable support across various tools, featuring a dedicated grooved rest on the left side to hold drill bits at the proper angle during sharpening. An integrated removable coolant tray allows operators to quench hot workpieces regularly, preserving tool temper during grinding sessions.

Designed for safety and direct illumination, the grinder includes dual top-mounted LED work lights over each wheel, adjustable polycarbonate eye shields, and steel spark deflectors. Its compact 9 in. x 6-1/8 in. aluminum base features vibration-dampening rubber feet and built-in 7/16 in. mounting holes for secure attachment to a workbench or pedestal stand.
