Top 20 BUFFALO 10" Bench Grinder Questions & Answers

That entire older Buffalo line of grinders: N-10CB, B-8CB, B-6CB, bgbr-6cb all use the same push pull switch.Most of those grinders were dual-voltage with a starter capacitor and there are 6 wires connected to a 4 contact switch. The "Jet BGS8-076" grinder switch that is used by the older Buffalo's, Galaxy, Duracraft and TestRite grinders is no longer available. The good news is that there is a replacement switch from another manufacturer: "3030-9001 push pull switch for RDX grinders" from Wholesale Tool is a direct replacement. It has the same 4-screw contacts on the back and the same push-pull diamond pattern front plate.

The neutral line should never be switched--only the hot wire (black). If there are only two wires that went to the switch, you should be able to tie them together and the motor will run when plugged in. The switch should be a common SPST type either toggle or rocker to fit. Hope this helps!

I had the same problem with a Northern Tools bench grinder. These are made in China and parts are hard to come by. I had enough room after removing the old broken on/off switch to install a single pole 15 amp light switch like you use in your home. I simply installed it horizontally and then put the switch cover on. It works perfectly. If you do not have enough room then look for any 15 amp or larger switch that will fit in the housing. Any on/off switch will work. You could even mount the switch on the bench in a switch housing and run the wires from the grinder to the switch and back if need be. Just be safe and make sure there are no exposed wires. As a last resort you could remove the switch connect the wires, eliminating the switch and use a plug in wall switch such as this.

A coil is just that a coil and unless it has diodes it doesnt matter how you put it on. let me know (diodes are those things that are usually black with a silver stripe -cylindrical in shape)

that comes up as a craftsman brand by sears ( mass produced ) variable speed grinder I cant find an exploded view or user manual if you cant get the value information think you will be up for an oscilloscope

If there are only 4 wires used first is to find the wires of the powercable wallconnector make a measure between them the 2 other leads goes to the motor turn the motor wires and the power cable together temporarily for research that does everything if there is a thirth lead to find make a measurement from the metal point of the housing to the earth lead on the wall connector Beware to Not always trust the used colors and or cables if more people over time have worked on it . if not sure if its a CLass 2 double insulated or Class 1 with a third Green/yellow earthlead. look allways for the two square symboles on the name plate with technical information on the machine to be shure if its a double insulated kl2 machine or a kl1 ( if kl2 remove then always the kl1 cable with earth lead).
