Sunex Tools Bench Grinder

Sunex Tools Bench Grinders: Shop-Grade Grinding Built for the Working Pro

Sunex Tools has been equipping professional mechanics and shop technicians since 1977, and their bench grinders carry that same blue-collar work ethic into every rotation. Designed for daily shop use — not weekend hobbyists — Sunex bench grinders are built around the demands of technicians who need reliable, consistent performance without babying their equipment.

6" and 8" Models for Every Shop Application

Sunex offers bench grinders in both 6-inch and 8-inch wheel sizes, covering a broad range of grinding, sharpening, and deburring tasks. The flagship models — the 5001A (6") and 5002A (8") — are among the most recognized in the professional shop segment. Both come standard with two grinding wheels right out of the box: a coarse 36-grit wheel for aggressive stock removal and a medium 60-grit wheel for finishing and sharpening work.

Each wheel features a protective spark guard and an adjustable eye shield , giving technicians added confidence when grinding metal for extended periods. Ball bearing construction ensures smooth operation , reducing vibration and keeping the grinder running true under load.

Built-In Work Light — A Practical Shop Advantage

One detail that sets Sunex bench grinders apart from bare-bones competitors is their built-in flexible work light. Sunex's bench grinders come standard with a bright, flexible work light positioned directly over the grinding wheels — a straightforward feature that makes a real difference when precision matters. Whether you're sharpening a chisel or dressing a drill bit, having a well-lit work surface reduces errors and fatigue.

Durable Construction That Stays Put

A cast iron base provides durability , giving these grinders the low-center-of-gravity stability that heavier grinding jobs demand. Mounting holes and rubber feet make the grinder easy to mount on a stand or use on an approved worktable or workbench — and Sunex offers compatible grinder stands (such as the 5003 and 5005 models) that bring the work surface to a comfortable 36-inch standing height. A long 6-foot power cord provides extra reach without the need for an extension in most shop layouts.

Safety Certifications and Warranty

Sunex bench grinders are UL & CSA listed , meeting North American electrical safety standards — an important consideration for commercial shop environments and insurance compliance. Sunex tools are tested against rigorous standards, and their shop tools including bench grinders are backed by a 1-year warranty .

A Brand with Decades of Shop Credibility

Since their small-town beginnings in 1977, Sunex Tools has become a recognized leader in industrial and automotive workplace tools and equipment. From heavy-duty industrial maintenance to the neighborhood auto mechanic, their customers trust them to provide tools that work as hard as they do. That same philosophy flows through every bench grinder they produce — no unnecessary frills, just well-engineered shop equipment built to earn its place on the bench.
