Overview
The WEN BG4260 is a corded AC grinder running at 3450 RPM with a 745 watt motor, weighing 14 pounds with a footprint of about 12 by 7.5 by 8 inches.
WEN builds this as a bench mounted grinder rather than a handheld tool, judging by its footprint and fixed AC power. The motor output and no load speed put it in the general purpose bracket for a home shop rather than industrial stock removal.
- 745 watt AC motor
- 3450 RPM no load speed
- 14 lb weight
- 12" x 7.5" x 8" footprint
Who it's for
Suits home workshops and hobbyist metalworkers who want a bench grinder for sharpening and shaping. Not intended as a handheld or cordless tool given its weight and dimensions.
Pros and cons
- 745 watt motor with 3450 RPM output
- Compact bench footprint at 12 x 7.5 x 8 inches
- Corded AC only, no portability
- 14 pound weight needs a fixed mounting spot
Performance notes
At 3450 RPM the wheel speed is typical of general purpose bench grinders, and the 745 watt AC motor gives enough power for routine sharpening and deburring rather than heavy material removal.
