JET JBG-8A 8" Shop Bench Grinder with Stand
Are your grinding tools leaving you with inconsistent results, overheated workpieces, and no confidence in your setup?
What if you had a bench grinder built to handle everything from rough material removal to precision edge work — with the power and stability to do it right every time?
Meet the JET JBG-8A, an 8-inch bench grinder paired with the JPS-2A stand for a complete, shop-ready grinding station right out of the box.
With a 1HP, 8.0-amp motor running at 3,450 RPM and two included general-purpose grinding wheels, the JBG-8A delivers consistent, controlled performance for sharpening, deburring, and surface work across a wide range of materials.
When your tools are sharp, your setup is solid, and your grinder is ready to work as hard as you do, every task at the bench becomes faster, cleaner, and more precise.
JET JBG-8A for Sharpening, Deburring, and Material Removal
1HP Motor Delivers Consistent Grinding Power
The JBG-8A runs on a 1HP, 8.0-amp, 115V single-phase motor rated at 420W output, spinning at 3,450 RPM. That speed and output combination gives you enough power to move through rough grinding tasks without bogging down, while maintaining the control needed for precision sharpening work on chisels, drill bits, and screwdrivers.
Dual 8-Inch Wheels Cover Rough and Finish Work
The grinder ships with two 8" x 1" x 5/8" bore grinding wheels — one 36-grit for aggressive material removal and one 60-grit for finer sharpening and edge refinement. Having both wheels mounted and ready means you can move between coarse and fine work without stopping to swap accessories, keeping your workflow moving from start to finish.
Adjustable Tool Rests and Spark Guards Keep Every Pass Safe and Controlled
Cast iron tool rests on both sides of the grinder adjust to within 1/16" of the wheel surface, giving your workpiece consistent support at the correct angle through every pass. Spark guards adjust independently to match wheel wear over time, so your setup stays tight and protective throughout the life of the wheel — not just when it's brand new.
Tilting Eye Shields Protect Without Interrupting Your Sightline
Two clear eye shields mount on adjustable brackets above each wheel, tilting to your preferred angle via a simple lock-knob adjustment. They stay exactly where you set them, giving you an unobstructed view of your work while keeping sparks and debris where they belong. No tools required for adjustment — just loosen, position, and lock.
