Overview
The JET JBG-6 is an electric bench grinder that runs on 115 volts and spins at 3450 RPM, powered by a 186.5 watt motor. It weighs 32 pounds and measures 18 by 10.5 by 8.5 inches, sized to bolt down on a workbench rather than be carried job to job.
The JBG designation and bench-scale dimensions point to a stationary shop tool for sharpening and grinding, not a handheld angle grinder despite sharing the grinder category label. At 186.5 watts the motor sits on the modest end for a bench grinder, so expect it to suit light sharpening and deburring tasks rather than heavy stock removal.

Who it's for
Home shop users and hobbyists who need a bench-mounted grinder for sharpening tools, deburring small parts or light grinding tasks. Users running a production shop with frequent heavy grinding may want a higher-wattage bench grinder.
Pros and cons
- Bench-mounted for stable sharpening and grinding
- Standard 3450 RPM grinding speed
- Compact bench footprint at 18 by 10.5 by 8.5 inches
- Modest 186.5 watt motor for a bench grinder
- Heavier at 32 pounds for mounting or moving
Performance notes
3450 RPM is a standard speed for bench grinders and works well for sharpening edges and deburring metal. The 186.5 watt motor and 32 pound body suggest a smaller, lighter bench grinder in JET's lineup, adequate for occasional shop use but not built for continuous heavy-duty grinding.
