Penn State Industries - Pennn State Industries- Grind2x Bench Grinder
The Grind2x bench grinder features a tool rests that are built as a one-piece casting that can move in and out.
Apr 05, 2012
Like those on the General International, the tool rests on the Grind2X are not a bright spot. Each is a one-piece casting that can move in and out, but lacks an adjustable platform (one platform also has a drill bit trough cast into it). The platforms are relatively flat, but because they can’t be angled, grinding a chisel or plane iron evenly is a big challenge. The plastic shields had a hard time staying put while the machine was running.
