Common specifications

Key specifications

Motor, current, speed and weight figures are from the Abbott & Ashby catalogue 2025.

Selecting the right option

The only differences between the two part numbers are the grinder size and motor: AA362W6 has a 150 mm (6") wheel and 280 W output (15 kg), AA362W8 has a 200 mm (8") wheel and 600 W output (24 kg). Both have the same AA362 linisher, so belt and disc sizes are the same. If you want a larger motor with the linisher, see AA362W8-1100 professional grinder with AA362 linisher; if you only need the attachment for a grinder you already own, see AA362 linishing attachment (915 x 50mm belt) (or the longer-belt AA482 linishing attachment (1,220 x 50mm belt)). Both grinders have a single 60 grit wheel, not the 36 and 60 grit pair on the plain Industrial grinders.
