Choosing Abbott and Ashby workshop gear
For a bench grinder, start with the wheel size (150 or 200 mm) and the power rating in the title, then choose the version you want: bare machine, with a pedestal, with an E-stop, with a wire wheel or with a linishing attachment. Spares are listed by the grinder size or model they suit, so match those against your machine before you order. For belts and discs, choose the size and grit from the options. Always check the listing for what is included and for the sizes before you order, and call us if you want help. For more on wheels, grit and safety, read our Bench Grinder Guide: Wheels, Grit, Safety and How to Choose.
