A bench grinder is a machine that is attached to a bench. It usually has two grinding wheels, both of them normally of different grits. For example a 60 grit and a 36 grit. One for stock removal and the other made for touching up tools.

Although a bench grinder is generally a shop tool, there are some designed for home use. These machines are not normally used for precision grinding. The outcome is usually coarse, even with a wheel considered for fine grinding. Further grinding may be necessary with a different type of grinding machine.

Bench grinding wheels are mostly made of aluminium oxide that consistantly renews itself when in use. It also has a redused chance of overheating and clogs less frequently. The disadvantage is that these wheels may need to be replaced more often.

Differences between machines: Some bench grinders are smoother and quieter running than others. Some machines might have adjustable speed to prevent overheating. The tool rests might also vary from having a V-grooved to an angled toolrest to allow the grinding of drill bits etc.
