RIKON 80-820 8″ x 1-1/2″ Wide Stone Low Speed Bench Grinder with Flexible LED Light

The RIKON 80-820 8″ x 1-1/2″ Wide Stone Low Speed Bench Grinder is a reliable solution for shops and tradespeople looking for better control and cleaner results in metal shaping and tool sharpening. Powered by a strong 1 HP motor, this grinder spins at a controlled 1,750 RPM, making it ideal for sharpening chisels, plane irons, turning tools, and more without overheating the edge. Its extra-wide 1-1/2” vitrified aluminum oxide wheels provide a greater contact surface to reduce friction and heat buildup, while two different grits—60 grit for grinding and 120 grit for sharpening—give tradespeople the flexibility to go from heavy material removal to fine honing.

Designed with safety and usability in mind, the 80-820 includes adjustable cast metal tool rests, magnifying eye shields, and a flexible LED work light to improve precision and visibility during detailed grinding. The cast iron base with rubber feet minimizes vibration for steadier work, and the built-in 1-1/4″ dust ports help with debris control when paired with a dust collection system. This machine is well-suited for long-term use in fabrication shops, schools, maintenance departments, and home workshops.
