Key specifications

Choosing the right option

ATBG600/8 suits 200mm (8") wheels with a 600W output. For the same motor with a wire wheel on one side see ATBG600/8WBM industrial grinder with wire wheel; for a lower 375W output see ATBGU/8 utility grinder (200mm / 8"); for 1100W see ATBG1100/8 professional grinder (1100W). The 36 grit wheel removes material faster and the 60 grit wheel leaves a finer finish (a higher grit number is a finer abrasive). The 150mm (6") version is ATBG280/6 industrial grinder (150mm / 6").
