Bench Grinders Objects

since this is a vague comment, I have to say that some small grinders just do not do well with blade sharpening. I have one that does the same thing when sharpening a blade. It is just too small, horsepower wise, to handle the job.

It sounds like the motor is burnt out. If the case can be opened, unplug it and check around for signs of too much heat, especially at any wire connections. You may be able to resolder or replace a wire to fix it

Check with Northern Tool Co. These guys have/know everything to do with tools. Beware, their tool selection is like a "Bug Boys Toy Store".. I can never get through their catalog without spending $100

Just type tecomec FL 136 manual on internet and you will be able to download
the owners and parts manual for all the Tecomec sharpeners.

You need a small variable speed grinder that has a fine grit stone on it. A regular bench grinder will ruin a pair of shears in short time. Look for one at Sears and explain your needs. Good luck!

Goggles or safety glasses need to be worn to protect the operator's eyes from the sparks and metal filings that result. Depending on the workpiece and time of exposure, hearing protection may also be required, the dust produced is also potentially hazardous. The toolrest (or workrest) should be mounted slightly below the center of the grinding wheel with less than 3 mm clearance from the wheel. This prevents the work from jamming between the toolrest and the wheel. Grinding wheels designed for steel should not be used for grinding softer metals, like aluminium. The soft metal gets lodged in the pores of the wheel and expand with the heat of grinding. This can dislodge pieces of the grinding wheel. Wire brushes require particular attention for the safety of the operator and bystanders as the metal wires may become dangerous projectiles as they could bind with the object being brushed and so throw it away with great energy. The machine needs to be securely mounted to a pillar or a bench to be used safely and effectively, often with an emergency stop switch or pedal fitted close by the machine, for use in emergencies.

Grinding is the fastest way to deburr a sharp corner or dress the end of threaded rod or bar stock that's been cut to length. Fit a grinder with a wire wheel, and you have a handy tool for removing rust. Then switch to a buffing wheel and you're ready to polish metal to a mirrorlike sheen. But for most of us, grinders are essential for shaping and sharpening hardened tool steel and high-speed steel.

Bench grinders are perfect for sharpening cutters, bits, blades and hand tools. Any piece that needs smoothing, shaping, or polishing can be done at the bench grinder. Straight grinders or angle grinders are portable, handheld tools with wheels that range from 4 to 9 inches. They are the best grinders for working on pieces that may be too large to fit at a bench.
