DEWALT DW756 6-Inch Bench Grinder – 5/8 HP, 3,450 RPM

The DEWALT DW756 6-Inch Bench Grinder is a stationary grinding workhorse for the home shop and professional workshop. With a powerful 5/8 HP induction motor running at 3,450 RPM, it removes material quickly for sharpening tools, deburring metal, shaping, and cleaning rust from parts. A rugged cast iron base keeps vibration low and the grinder stable, and the 12-1/2-inch distance between wheels gives you plenty of room to work on longer pieces.

DEWALT DW756 6-Inch Bench Grinder: Built for Daily Grinding

The DW756 is a 6-inch bench grinder with the durability and motor output that DEWALT users expect. Its 5/8 HP induction motor is designed for heavy-duty use, while precision-machined aluminum tool rests let you position work accurately. Rear exhaust ports in the wheel guards keep the grinder running cooler by venting air behind the wheel.

DW756 wheel size and replacement wheels

This grinder takes standard 6-inch grinding wheels with a 1/2-inch arbor. Common replacement wheels are 6 x 3/4 x 1/2 inches, and they're widely available from DEWALT and other major brands. Always check the maximum RPM rating on the wheel – the DW756 spins at 3,450 RPM, so the wheel should be rated for at least that speed.

Can the DW756 use a wire wheel?

Yes. The DW756 can use 6-inch wire wheels with a 1/2-inch arbor for rust removal, paint stripping, and cleaning metal surfaces. Use the wheel flanges included with the grinder to secure the wire wheel, and make sure the wire wheel is rated for 3,450 RPM or higher. For best results, choose a crimped or knotted wire wheel based on how aggressive you need the cleaning action to be.

Sharpening and deburring day to day

Whether you're sharpening a lawnmower blade, a cold chisel, or drill bits, or removing burrs from freshly cut steel, the DW756's high speed and stable base make quick work of the task. The front tool rests are easy to set, so you can hold a consistent angle while grinding.
