Charnwood BG6P2 6″ Bench Grinder with CBN Wheel & Woodturners Chisel Sharpening System

BG6 Bench Grinder with 6″ diameter wheels, can be used for all grinding, sharpening and shaping tasks around the workshop.

• 250w Quiet Induction Motor
• 20mm Wide Coarse Grey Stone
• 40mm Wide Fine White Stone
• Adjustable Spark Guards
• Adjustable Eye Shields
• Adjustable Tool Rest
• Integral Mains Powered Work Light
• Built-In Coolant Tray
• Wheel Dressing Tool

We have developed this model particularly for woodturners by fitting it with a 40mm wide fine white stone grinding wheel. The extra width allows virtually all turning tools to be sharpened.

The white stone helps to prevent heat build up and is used for sharpening heat sensitive tools such as High Speed Steel (HSS).

The other end of the grinder is fitted with a coarse Aluminium Oxide grey stone for fast removal of material. Perfect if you get a chipped chisel tip and need to remove a lot of material.

The grinder is driven by a smooth and quiet induction motor with ample power for all sharpening and grinding operations.

An integral work light on a flexible shaft ensures that the work area is well lit at all times.

Each wheel is fitted with a spark guard, which can adjusted as the stone wears down to maintain maximum safety. A one piece steel tool rest is similarly adjustable and can be quickly removed should you wish to fit a polishing wheel. For doing close up work, one of the eye shields doubles as a 3 times magnifier.

The grinder sits on 4 rubber feet to provide a stable platform. It can also be secured to a work bench using the 2 mounting points provided.

The inclusion of the wheel dressing tool allows the stones to be reshaped and squared off as they wear down, giving a long and productive life span.

Supplied with spark guards, eye shields (1 with magnifier), tool rests, coolant tray, wheel dresser, 1.75m cable and UK 3 pin plug.

BGCS4 The universal sharpening system for wood turners can be used in conjunction with a bench grinder to create accurate cutting angles and straight edges.

The system consists of 2 base clamps which are fitted underneath each wheel of the grinder allowing concurrent grinding set ups. The base clamp has a quick action lock to quickly change between different chisel types.

There then 4 attachments which can be fitted into either base clamps for sharpening particular types of chisels:

Long Support Arm – For Bowl Gouges & Roughing Gouges

Skew Jig Attachment – For Flat or Curved Skews & Scrapers

Fingernail Gouge Jig – For Fingernail Gouges & Spindle Gouges

Flat Platform – For Parting Tools, Straight Edge Skews & Bench Chisels

Compatible with most 6″ and 8″ double end bench grinders. Ideally both the bench grinder and the base clamp should be fixed to the bench to ensure repeatable results. For a more portable solution attach everything to a base board which can be moved off the bench when required.

INCLUDES:

• Left & right base clamp

• Long Support Arm

• Fingernail Gouge Jig

• Skew Jig Attachment

• Flat platform

CBN6B91 6” (150mm) CBN Wheel CBN6B91

150mm x 40mm x 32mm Bore

CBN is an abbreviation for Cubic Boron Nitride. It is an abrasive material. Cubic boron nitride is the second-hardest known material after diamond, making it useful in a wide variety of industrial applications.

Recommended Speed: Optimum speed for 6” (150mm) diameter wheel is 1700 to 3000 rpm.

Bore Size: The bore is 32mm diameter. To use on a bench grinder with a ½” diameter shaft an adaptor is required. Adaptors are very tight fitting metal bushings with a shoulder to greatly reduce runout. They are mounted between the wheel and the motor.

Application: CBN wheels can be used on a bench grinder or on a woodworking lathe.

CBN wheels are suitable for all woodworking tools made of High Speed Steel (HSS).

The wheel consists of a metal body which is coated in a plating process with a layer of CBN grain. Plated wheels never change size or shape therefore eliminating time-consuming re-profiling.

Important: If you are used to using an aluminium oxide wheel, be aware that CBN wheels do not require much force, just a little backup pressure for the weight of the tool. Too much pressure can generate excessive heat and may harm the wheel. CBN grinding grains are as hard as diamond grains and will do the work for you without any effort and in a very short time.

Maintenance: None. The CBN wheel never needs truing or dressing.

CBNA1/2: This 1/2″ adaptor is for use with our CBN6B91 Wheel.

You will also need our CBNW1/2 Washer to use with this adaptor.
