Selecting the right option
ATBGU/8 is the entry model for 200 mm (8") wheels. Step up to ATBG600/8 industrial grinder (200mm / 8") for a 600 W output, wide wheel guards and a 3/4 HP+ motor (manufacturer-stated), or to ATBG1100/8 professional grinder (1100W) for 1100 W and an NVR and E-stop switch (manufacturer-stated). The 36 grit wheel removes material faster and the 60 grit wheel leaves a finer finish; a higher grit number means a finer abrasive. Check that your bench can carry 18 kg.
