Workshop Bench Machines and Tools

Bench machines and tools are the fixed or semi-fixed equipment of the workshop: they are mounted on the workbench and are used to sharpen, grind, polish, wash and hold workpieces during machining.

What you will find in this collection

• Bench grinders, including double-ended, for deburring and sharpening.
• Sharpeners, universal and for blades, with jigs for sharpening knives.
• Bench parts washers for degreasing components.
• Anvils and forming tools for working metal by hand.
• Bench saws for wood.
• Polishing mops in cotton and sisal, and parallel blocks for marking out.

How to choose

Start from the job to be done: for sharpening and deburring, the diameter of the wheels and the motor power matter; for heavy workpieces, the stability of the bench and the weight of the anvil. It is also worth checking the bore diameter of the discs before fitting them to the machine.
