2.0 Description
The Baileigh Industrial BBG-8 Bench Grinder is designed primarily for woodworkers; the slow speed is
optimal for grinding and sharpening common tool steels – lathe turning chisels, gouges, knives, plane irons,
carving tools, and more. Abrasive wheels are protected by cast iron guards. The large tool rests are
adjustable, with a tilt angle scale and incised lines to help align tools square to the wheel. A steel spark
guard and plexiglass eye shield provide safety (personal eye protection is still required). Rubber foot pads
prevent sliding. Alternatively, mounting holes are provided in the base for securing the unit to a bench or
stand. Heavy-duty machined flanges keep the grinding wheel true and reduce runout.
The operator is encouraged to familiarize him/herself with ANSI B7.1 –
Safety Requirements for Use, Care
and Protection of Abrasive Wheels.
Retain this manual for future reference. If the grinder transfers ownership, the manual should accompany
it.
Read and understand the entire contents of this manual before attempting
assembly or operation! Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
