RAPID STOPPING: The Brake Resistor can slow the RPM speed down from 3,600 to 0 in less than 20 seconds. This is called “rapid stopping..
Large eye shields and cast iron wheel guards for safety.
Wheels that can be used for both 36-grit and 60-grit grindin.
There are two round dust ports and a T-connector that has a 2-1/2-inch pipe “On the other hand.
Certified by the CSA and the CUS: Variable Speed Industrial Grinder Styl.
Heavy-duty JET 1-HP 8 “Variable-speed industrial bench grinders are made with a full cast body and many safety features. The unique motor stop will reduce the RPM speed from 3,600 to 0 in less than 20 seconds, stopping the grit wheel.
Because of its VFD, I bought the IBG-8VS (see last paragraph below about why VFD is important). This machine is worth the money. Expect to spend some money to make this machine even better.
When I opened the box, my grinder slid across the table. I tried everything I could to get the wobble or eccentricity out of the factory wheels with the parts that came with the machine. In this case, new arbors solved the problem.
Factory work rests are small and can only move in and out, not in an angle to the stone. I found some extra rests that made me happy.
Fine for grinding, but too short to buff headlights or clean inside motorcycle fenders with. When I was buffing and brushing, I had more space to move the workpiece thanks to the shaft extension.
An 8-inch wheel that spins at 900rpm is too fast for materials that aren’t as hard as wood. Because I was working with plastic, I had to cut the wheels down to 6 inches. I can still use the 8-inch wheels for metal.
For people who don’t know, a Variable Frequency Drive lets the operator slow down the speed of the machine without sacrificing torque. The variable-speed machines that are available at home centers are 99 percent likely to have a rheostat that will slow them down at the expense of torque, which makes the motor more likely to load-bog-smoke-fail. It’s also important to keep in mind that buffing and brushing require more torque than most grinding operations, especially when working with soft materials.
