Product Description

CT171

10" Wet Bench Grinder - CRAFTEX

Designed in Germany

This item is perfect to sharpen just about any cutting tools giving razor sharp edges each time. The lower portion of the grinding wheel operates in a water reservoir as it carries water continuously over the grinding surface, cleaning the wheel and eliminating the risk and potential damage from overheating. The universal support is designed to be easily mounted vertically or horizontally depending on the grinding job and it can be adjusted easily at the desired angle accepting a variety of cutting tools for precise grinding. The leather stropping wheel removes the fine burrs and polishes the cutting edges providing amazing sharpness to your cutting tools. For added safety the On/Off switch is provided with a safety pin which can be removed to prevent from unauthorized usage.

The CT171 comes with a 220-Grit grinding wheel, honing paste for the leather honing wheel, user manual and 2 year warranty.

  1. Awesome!

    Posted by grinding! on 29th Nov 2011

    This is a kick ass little bench grinder and some old tools that I thought were once doomed for the trashcan are now sharp as ever! I had one issue with one of the leveller feet, but busy bees customer service was awesome and mailed me one no charge! The angle gauge that comes with the unit turned out to be a huge help with a couple of my chisels & knives.


  2. Nice sharpener

    This looks to be the exact same unit as the Grizzly T10010 and was thinking of ordering from them so glad you guys carry it. It's been a good addition to my shop, have already sharpened about 7 odd chisels and some blades, and so far it is great. The video was well done as well.


  3. You get what you paid for

    The description of this tool says "designed in Germany". These types of sharpening systems have been around of years, there nothing new to design. So it doesn't matter where it was designed, it's still made in China to the same level medium to low level of quality of most craftex tools. I got mine in the mail yesterday. The sharpening wheel wobbles from left to right but luckily has a constant radius. The tool rest arm which is not very sooth (compared the chrome plated one on the Tormek system) is not true meaning it is not parallel to the stone's face. I'll have to spend some time trying to bend it into position. The wheel that holds the leather strap is made of cheep thin plastic that also wobbles from left to right but again luckily has a pretty constant (but not perfect) radius. My conclusion is if you're buying it in the store and can return it easily then by all means take that chance. If you're getting it shipped like I had to and you don't want to risk having to send it back then spend the extra money and get a better system. Good luck.
