Abbott & Ashby Grinder with AA362 linisher, 8"

These Abbott & Ashby Industrial range bench grinders come with the AA362 linishing attachment fitted at the factory, in two sizes: AA362W6 on a 150mm (6") grinder with a 280W output motor, and AA362W8 on a 200mm (8") grinder with a 600W output motor. The linisher is on the right and a 25mm wide 60 grit grinding wheel is on the left.

The AA362 has a 915 x 50mm (36 x 2") 240 grit belt, a 178mm (7") disc and an 89mm (3 1/2") contact wheel. The linisher works on wood, plastics, metals and ceramics with a quick change of belts.

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

The only differences between the two part numbers are the grinder size and motor: AA362W6 has a 150mm (6") wheel and 280W output (15kg), AA362W8 has a 200mm (8") wheel and 600W output (24kg). 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.
