- The double grinder is a practical multifunctional tool. It is suitable for grinding, sharpening and deburring. Polishing and removing rust is also possible with special wheel attachments.
- Classic models come with 2 grinding wheels of different grit. Among other things, they are suitable for preliminary and fine grinding.
- Double grinders are also available as wet grinding systems. The wet grindstone runs in a water pan and at a lower speed. Due to the cooling, blades can be sharpened particularly gently.
- Other versions are equipped with a belt grinder on one side. These combinations are suitable, among other things, for processing workpieces made of metal, wood or plastic.
- Simple double grinders are available for as little as 30 EUR. They are equipped with relatively small grinding wheels(from 120 mm in diameter) and provide 120 to 300 watts.
- If the bench grinder is used more frequently, 300 to 500 watt devices with a disc diameter of about 250 to 300 mm are a good choice. This allows more surface to be sanded in a shorter time. Their price ranges from 100 to 200 EUR.
- More expensive can be professional versions with a power of sometimes more than 1,000 watts.
- If high precision is required, a double grinder with an adjustable workpiece support is a good choice. This allows you, for example, to place blades at exactly the right sharpening angle.
- When buying a double grinder, you should pay particular attention to the safety features.
- A protective hood over each grindstone and spark arrestor glasses are mandatory. The latter can be adjusted in angle if necessary – or removed for special workpieces.
- Also very helpful are integrated overload and restart protection.
- For a secure stand on the workbench, there should be at least 4 holes on the bottom of the housing for screw mounting.
- Models with additional rubber feet reduce vibration and noise emissions.
