4 best grinders for home and garage (reviews)

A sharpener is a useful tool in everyday life. Even the best drill stops functioning properly, and a sharp knife or scissors periodically becomes blunt. The device will also be useful for sharpening parts made of stone, metal, and other hard materials.

The machine is suitable for sharpening chains of electric / petrol saws. Prongs can be easily machined to a specific angle and depth.

For any home craftsman who is engaged in drilling, cutting, and other work, this unit will be indispensable. The dimensions of the machines are small and this is a plus (it can be placed in a small workshop, garage).

Models of machines with different power are available for sale. The main part of the machine is the engine. There are one or two abrasive discs on the motor shaft. One disc with fine grain, the second larger.

High-speed machine tools (2000-10 thous. rpm) are used mainly for sharpening axes, drills, chisels. When sharpening knives, be careful not to overheat the metal. For sharpening knives, scissors, a sharpener with speed control is better suited.
