10 best grinders

Makita, like most Japanese brands, pays attention to all aspects of the product. Every detail has been taken into account in this machine. User convenience is provided by stands, limiters, lights and even magnifying glasses so that you do not have to peer into the sharpening process. Safety is provided not only by powerful casings made of a special alloy, but also by several degrees of protection. Protection against motor overheating, protection against workpiece biting and prevention of restart when replacing discs.

Everything is thought out, and when buying such a grinder for the home, you can be completely sure that it will cope with all tasks. A very powerful 550 watt motor is installed here, and for such a tool this is a very high figure. The rotational speed is 2980 rpm with a disc diameter of 200 millimeters. On such a machine, you can sharpen not only a knife, but also an ax or a shovel, and the engine will not overheat and stop.The best option, which has only one minus, thanks to which it got to such an irreverent place in the rating, is the price.

Chinese manufacturers often gravitate toward the compactness of their products, and to be honest, this is far from always justified. But in this case, it has a right to exist. Before us is the most compact desktop machine that can easily sharpen a knife or scissors. It is so small that it does not need to be installed permanently or attached to a table. The 150 watt motor generates virtually no vibration and is as quiet as possible.

True, it is worth mentioning the shortcomings. In particular, the engine rotation speed here is 2900 rpm, with an abrasive wheel diameter of 200 millimeters. The parameters are quite adequate, but now we remember the dimensions and engine power, and we understand that they are simply incomparable. Yes, the machine will sharpen the knife, but you should not use it for a long time. The engine will overheat and stop. But on the other hand, sharpening a knife takes 10 minutes on the strength, and if you use this device for the home, and do not overload it, then it will cope with its tasks perfectly.

Before us is a rare case when a popular European brand offers equipment that does not cost fabulous money. This is a very famous brand, famous for the quality of their products, but their grinder costs less than 3 thousand. For the money we get a fairly powerful engine. Its consumption is 350 watts, which is above average.The rotation speed of 200 mm discs is 2890 rpm, which is also a very good result.

Surely many will suspect a catch in such a ratio of price and quality, but judging by the reviews of real users, there is none. This is really the best machine for the home, missing the stars from the sky. There are no advanced safety electronics here. There is no multifunctionality. And even there are no protective glasses. But it has the lowest noise level. Virtually no vibration. And with intensive use, a powerful engine will not overheat. The perfect household option at the best price, and from a reputable brand you can trust.

Multifunctional machines have long been the norm for us. One modern tool is capable of performing several tasks at once, and copes with each perfectly. Sharpening machines are no exception. For example, this marvel of engineering has an engraving machine in addition to two standard abrasive wheels.

And any master working with such a tool understands that the rotational speed during sharpening and the rotational speed of the engraving station are different. The manufacturer also thought about this, and provided for the adjustment of the rotation speed. You yourself set the number of revolutions depending on the task. The maximum rotational speed is 10 thousand revolutions per minute and this is a lot. For sharpening, this speed is not needed, but for engraving just right. And most importantly, all these pleasures cost only 2 and a half thousand. The best price on the market, even for a conventional desktop machine with one function, but here there are two at once.

Most machines for the home use weak electric motors. Often their power does not exceed one hundred watts, and in everyday life this is quite enough. Such a machine will easily sharpen a knife or scissors, but if you try, for example, to sharpen an ax on it, then difficulties may arise. The engine simply won't have enough power, and it will constantly stop and turn off. Rebooting, in turn, will lead to the failure of the device.

If you plan to put such tasks before the machine, pay attention to this model. The main feature is a powerful 450 watt motor. Such a motor can easily sharpen a large product and even work out the part. It won't get up and it won't overheat. And here it should be understood that this device is only necessary if you really plan to load it beyond measure. A weaker machine can also sharpen a knife, and there is simply no need for such a mechanism for the home.

The Russian company Interskol has long been known in the power tool market and has established itself as a reliable and honest manufacturer that produces the best tool and does not raise prices for it. Before us is a simple grinding machine. Desktop version with a minimum of vibrations, which does not need to be installed permanently.

There is not a large set of options, but special attention is paid to user safety. The casing is securely attached to the base and is made of a special alloy. There are protective glasses that prevent sparks from spreading during operation. And also there is a lamp of directional light.It's no secret that even with bright room lighting, you still have to strain your eyesight in the disk area. This problem won't exist here. It should also be noted the increased diameter of the discs. 200 mm abrasives are used here, and they rotate at a speed of over 2500 revolutions per minute. This is the optimal value for sharpening, at which your knife does not overheat, like the machine itself.

A grinder is the simplest tool in which there are only two elements: an asynchronous electric motor, and an abrasive stone itself. Such equipment, by definition, cannot be expensive if the manufacturer does not stuff its product with advanced, but not always necessary options, and does not charge us for its big name.

Before us is direct proof of the budget of this equipment. A full-fledged grinding desktop machine, at a price of only 3 thousand rubles. Yes, there are no various bells and whistles that foreign manufacturers are famous for, but how often they are used. Safety is ensured only by a protective casing made of aluminum alloy and spark-retaining glass. The rotation of the disks is produced by a 150 watt motor capable of rotating in two directions. Rotation speed 1600 rpm. This is the optimal value for sharpening knives or scissors, and it makes no sense to adjust the speed, since the machine does not set itself the task of performing several functions at once. Ideal home for the best price.

Sharpening scissors is a complex process, and it is not so easy to perform it on a conventional machine.It's all about the angle of sharpening, and a professional can easily do it on a regular abrasive, but will spend a lot of time on it. But there are special machines designed competitively for this task. The grindstone here is located inside the case, and outside there is a special seat. You do not need to search for the ideal sharpening angle yourself, it is already set in the machine itself.

You can also sharpen knives with this machine. For them, another hole is provided, into which you just need to insert a tool and everything, the machine will do the rest on its own. Simply put, this is the best option for the home, and you can work with it even without experience in sharpening tools. In addition, it is extremely cheap, which can not but rejoice. And the compactness and almost complete absence of vibration allows you not to install this device permanently, but to get it and turn it on as needed.

Before us is a multifunctional machine that can not only sharpen a knife, but also process some kind of detail. It has an abrasive stone on one side and an emery belt on the other. An indispensable assistant for the home master, moreover, at the best price. This is a Russian brand, and this explains its democratic price.

The build quality here is the highest. There are practically no complaints in the reviews. People write that the equipment works as it should and does not fail for many years, even with frequent use and at maximum loads. As for the minuses, here we can single out a not very convenient disk change system.Bolted fasteners are certainly very reliable, but you will always have to keep a key handy, and wing fasteners are located in such a way that getting to them is quite problematic. Users also note the vibration of the machine. Since this is a desktop version, it provides for fastening to the table top, which is also not very convenient, especially if you do not plan to install this device permanently.

If you are looking for the best bench grinder and have unlimited funds, then the product from the Japanese brand Metabo is exactly what you need. The most reliable and high-quality option that you can find. The most compact, but at the same time very fast motor with the ability to adjust the rotation. Restart protection. Convenient disk replacement mechanism. Protective shield against sparks.

It is a pleasure to work with such a tool, and the only negative here is the price. Not everyone is ready to pay more than 30 thousand rubles for a machine that can sharpen a knife. Yes, such equipment can be used for other purposes, but we are now interested in this particular function, and here we clearly feel an overpayment for the brand, however, as always with this manufacturer. Of course, the device is of the highest quality and reliability. There will be no difficulties with it at all, but the price tag will surely scare away most potential buyers.
