It’s a grinder. Be careful when it’s on. It will grab your tools and pull you in.

Girl I am so envious of all these tools you’ve inherited!! That grinder is legit and will last FOREVER! But yes, as others are saying, be careful and do some research before you try it out. My biggest advice, as a self-taught person, is to be firm, and confident, when using it cuz if you’re tentative or scared it can be more dangerous. Can’t wait to see what you do with it!

Please do not use on kitchen knives. The grit is too aggressive and will ruin the knives.

Put on saftey glasses or a face shield on when you grind on it. No aluminum. It will clog the wheels.

Bench grinder for sharpening axes, lawnmower blades, chisels. You can also swap out the wheels for polishing wheels made of soft cloth that you use with a polishing compound (they look like bars of soap) to shine stuff up.

safety note - never stand in the path of the wheel when you start it - minor cracks can cause it to fly apart

That's a bench grinder. You can use it for anything, including metal. I'd encourage you to use it with different materials in order to understand its capabilities.
Be careful of your eyes and hair.
Also be cognizant of where the "cuttings" are going. I once used one that blew everything right back at my mid section (which can burn your clothes).
Most formats have a stone on one side and a wire wheel on the other. Very useful.

That’s an old school bench grinder. It’s good for sharpening tools that need the edge completely reworked. With those heavy grit stones I wouldn’t use if to sharpen anything fine like a plane blade or a knife but for a chisel that’s been dropped and has a bad dent in the edge it’s perfect. For the fine sharpening use a whet stone or an oil stone

yes, bench grinder, as others have said. those wheels look fine but as a precaution stand to the side when powering on and off. the slightest imbalance can cause them to blow apart because they are basically sand glued together in a wheel shape. I also concur with no aluminum or softer metals unless you have a wheel "dresser" to clean the clogged metal back out of the pores.

A sander for metal is kind of accurate for a grinder

That’s a bench grinder and yes, you can use it to sharpen and grind all sorts of metal objects. The wheels that are on it are for metal grinding. Also, they are probably two different ‘grits’ with one being finer than the other?

No loose clothes near it and hair back in a ponytail. The wheels can be different grits for sharpening tools- chisels and mower blades.or can be replaced with wire wheels or buffer pads to polish metal. Grandpa removed the safety shields that keep grit and sparks from flying into your eyes lol

the device is a grinder. you can sharpen or shape metal objects. you can also change out the grinding wheel for a metal brush for polish metal and removing rust

Bench grinder. You can sharpen Lawn Mower Blades, Scissors, etc… And you can remove Burrs if you cut some Steel or Aluminum. You can remove paint from something if you lightly run something on it. YouTube it if you need to use it. And be careful!

you need to adjust the tests so that they are level and as best as possible to the wheels without touching them so nothing gets pulled down between the wheel and the rest.
