Hisey-Wolf 12" x 2" Heavy-Duty Pedestal Grinder

Model: H.D. Series | Origin: Cincinnati, Ohio, USA | Type: Double-End Industrial

Overview The Hisey-Wolf 12" x 2" Grinder is an industrial-grade powerhouse engineered for continuous, high-torque material removal. Known for its oversized cast-iron pedestal and motor housing, this machine is designed to absorb the heavy vibrations associated with 12-inch wheels, providing a superior finish and reducing operator fatigue. This "Old Iron" classic is built to a standard of durability that modern sheet-metal alternatives cannot match.

Key Performance Features

• Massive Stability: The sheer weight of the Hisey-Wolf casting ensures the machine stays put without the "walking" or vibration common in lighter units.
• Precision Toolroom Capability: Despite its power, the low-speed 1,750 RPM motor makes it an excellent choice for sharpening hardened tool steel without ruining the temper.
• Cast-Iron Exhaust Guards: Factory guards are designed for heavy spark containment and can be easily adapted to modern dust extraction systems.
• Rebuildable Design: Featuring standard industrial bearings and an open-architecture motor, this machine is a lifetime asset that can be serviced for decades to come.
