With more power than angle grinders, these vertical grinders quickly remove large amounts of stock, rust, scale, and other materials. They’re also heavier than angle grinders, so they reduce fatigue when working on a bench. They’re good for heavy duty applications in foundries and shipyards. The threaded spindles accept grinding wheels. These grinders have a lever lock to prevent accidental start-up.

Grinders for Type 6 and 11 wheels are often used for heavy removal in grinding and snagging operations.

Caution: Use only accessories that have a greater rpm rating than the maximum speed of the grinder you choose.
