Glastar B3 - Wheel Bench Grinder - 8inch (20cm)

The B3 has been designed as a production grinder, specifically for diamond wheels. It features an extremely high-torque, 1/2 HP motor with ball bearings. This permits very heavy loading without slowing.

Because coolant is applied to diamond wheels, corrosion has been an important design consideration. The motor and bearings are totally enclosed. The base is a powdercoated aluminum casting, and the wheel guards are molded plastic.

The wheel guards snap in and out of the base so that changing wheels is fast. Occasionally, large odd-shaped pieces of glass interfere with the guard and removing it is necessary to complete the piece. In this case, the sponges hold enough coolant to grind for several minutes without the spray.

The B3 takes up very little bench space, and yet it is extremely stable because of its weight and low center of gravity.
