Bench grinder Scheppach DBS800 — model DBS800, compact sharpening machine

Scheppach DBS800 is a compact bench grinder designed for sharpening and grinding a wide range of metal tools and blades. The DBS800 offers a stable bench-mounted platform with two grinding wheels, allowing controlled removal of material and restoration of cutting edges. Its size and configuration make it suitable for small workshops, home garages and DIY environments where precise edge maintenance and light-duty grinding are required.

Advantages

The DBS800 combines a compact footprint with straightforward mechanical design to deliver consistent sharpening results. Dual-wheel arrangement enables use of different wheel grits or materials simultaneously, reducing wheel changeover. The fixed tool rests and protective eye shields improve operator control and safety during sharpening tasks. Its construction emphasizes balance and vibration reduction to help maintain even grinding and longer wheel life.

Suitable for

• Sharpening knives and kitchen blades
• Restoring edges on chisels and plane irons
• Grinding and deburring small metal parts
• Resharpening drill bits and cutting tools with manual guidance
• Light workshop and hobby metalworking tasks

Key specifications

• Compact bench-mount design for stable mounting on workbench or table
• Two grinding wheels allowing different grit use for rough and finish operations
• Tool rests to support workpieces during grinding and sharpening
• Protective eye shields to guard against sparks and debris
• Balanced motor and housing aimed at reduced vibration during operation

How to use

Secure the DBS800 on a flat, stable workbench before switching on. Fit appropriate grinding wheels for the task and ensure tool rests and eye shields are correctly positioned. Start the motor and allow it to reach full speed. Hold the tool or blade firmly against the tool rest and present the edge to the wheel at the correct angle, moving smoothly to avoid overheating and uneven removal. Use light pressure and short passes, periodically cooling the workpiece in water if necessary. After sharpening, turn off the machine and wait for wheels to stop fully before making adjustments or removing accessories.

Usage recommendations

Use coarse grit for material removal and shaping, then switch to finer grit for honing and edge refinement. Maintain wheel dressings and keep tool rests properly set to ensure repeatable, accurate results. Wear eye and hearing protection, and follow safe operating practices including securing loose clothing and keeping hands clear of the rotating wheels.
