Product Information

As with most other consumer bench grinders, the Titan comes with coarse and fine grinding discs, namely 30-grit and 60-grit wheels, but as an added bonus, a useful brush wheel is also included in the box. Unfortunately, however, not a lot of thought has gone into the use of wire wheels on the Titan grinder as the included one can sometimes partially brush against the wheel guard securing bolts which protrude a fair amount. Continuous striking of these bolts with the wire wheel will eventually damage them making removal of the wheel guard more problematic. One option is not to use the wheel guard at all when using a wire wheel but this poses an increased safety risk to the operator and is not recommended.

Grinders intended for DIY home use usually have 6” disks. They typically run at speeds of 3400 to 3600 RPM and are suitable for most basic home improvement jobs. Know the maximum speed of the grinding wheel and the bench grinder - When purchasing new grinding wheels, make sure that the maximum speed of the wheel is not lower than the rotational speed of the bench grinder it is to run on otherwise spinning the wheel at too high a speed can cause it to disintegrate during use and presents a safety hazard.

Make sure that the wheel has access to a reasonably wide area of your workpiece. You may have to remove the guard that normally provides protection when grinding, but be aware that the guards on some models are part of the main casing and are usually unremovable. Bench grinders are power tools equipped with abrasive grinding wheels. Their primary function is to grind down various types of materials, typically wood or metal.

Bench grinders are fairly simple in terms of design and function, so even a DIY brand should provide satisfactory performance for a tool that’s not used often. Like most other bench grinders, other types of discs, such as wire wheels and polishing mops, can be swapped into the place of the bog-standard grinding stones. However, similar to other low-powered machines, this is not recommended as the limited torque means that the machine easily grinds to a halt if too much pressure is applied.Designed to handle all your sharpening and grinding tasks, this 250W bench grinder takes wheels up to 150mm diameter.
