JET IBG-8VS Variable Speed Bench Grinder
Are you losing time switching between jobs because your bench grinder runs at a fixed speed that does not suit every task?
What if your grinder let you dial in the right RPM for each application, from heavy stock removal to fine edge work, without a wheel change or setup delay?
Meet the JET IBG-8VS Variable Speed Bench Grinder, an 8-inch industrial bench grinder built for shops that need more control and faster stops.
With the IBG-8VS, you get a fully casted iron body, variable speed control across a wide RPM range, and a motor brake system engineered to bring the wheel to a complete stop in under 20 seconds.
When you have a grinder that responds to the work instead of forcing the work to fit the machine, your bench stays productive and your results stay consistent.
JET IBG-8VS for Variable Speed Grinding and Rapid Wheel Stop
Variable Speed Motor Matches RPM to the Task
The IBG-8VS runs a 1HP single-phase motor across a wide variable speed range, giving you low RPM for heat-sensitive work and high RPM for fast material removal. You are not locked into one setting for every job. Adjusting speed at the machine means less downtime between setups and better control over edge quality across different materials.
Brake Resistor Stops the Wheel Fast
The brake resistor is built into the motor stop system and brings wheel speed from 3,600 RPM down to zero in under 20 seconds. In a working shop, that means less standing time after switching off the machine and a faster return to your next task. It also reduces the exposure window if something goes wrong during shutdown.
Cast Iron Guards and Adjustable Tool Rest Hold Their Position
The cast iron guards house the 36-grit and 60-grit wheels and hold up to daily shop use without flexing or shifting. The adjustable cast iron tool rest gives you a stable platform for consistent tool contact against the wheel. Both components are built to take repeated adjustment without wearing loose over time.
Enclosed Bearings and Dual Dust Ports Support Long-Term Use
The totally enclosed, pre-lubricated ball bearings protect the motor from grinding dust without requiring routine lubrication service. Two 2-1/2-inch round dust ports feed into a single collection hose outlet, making it straightforward to connect the grinder to your existing dust collection setup and keep the work area clear.
