Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Choose ATBG280/6 when 150mm (6") wheels are enough; for 200mm (8") wheels see ATBG600/8 industrial grinder (200mm / 8"). The 36 grit wheel removes material faster and the 60 grit wheel leaves a finer finish (a higher grit number is a finer abrasive). If you want a linisher on the same size of grinder, AA362W6 and AA362W8 industrial grinders with AA362 linisher is the AA362W6 with the AA362 attachment fitted.
