Product Information

Full details

The Scheppach BGS700 is an ideal solution for hobbyists and professional fabricators who need a versatile, dual-function machine for sharpening, shaping, and finishing tasks. By combining a 150mm grinding wheel with a high-speed sanding belt, it offers significant utility in a single footprint, though its 370W motor is best suited for light-to-medium duty work rather than heavy industrial production.

FAQs

Can I use this machine to sharpen kitchen knives?

Yes, but use caution. Ensure you use the cooling tray frequently to avoid overheating the metal, which can ruin the heat treatment of the blade.

What is the maximum belt size I can use?

The machine is designed specifically for 50 x 686mm sanding belts.

Does this require a three-phase power supply?

No, the BGS700 operates on standard single-phase domestic power.

Can I replace the grinding wheel with a wire brush wheel?

Yes, provided the replacement wheel matches the diameter, arbor size, and safety speed ratings of the original wheel.

Is the machine loud during operation?

The induction motor is relatively quiet, though the noise level will increase slightly when the grinding wheel makes contact with metal.

Troubleshooting

Excessive vibration during operation

Ensure the grinder is securely bolted to a stable, level workbench and check that the grinding wheel is properly balanced.

Sanding belt runs off the side of the rollers

Adjust the tracking knob located on the side of the belt arm until the belt runs centered.

Motor hums but does not rotate

Check if the grinding wheel is jammed by debris or if the start capacitor needs professional servicing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Combined belt and wheel design saves valuable workshop floor space
Cast-iron housing provides excellent vibration dampening
Quiet and reliable induction motor
Easy to adjust tool rests for consistent precision
Integrated cooling tray prevents blade tempering

Cons

Not intended for heavy-duty industrial or continuous production use
Motor wattage may be underpowered for thick metal stock
Belt tracking requires occasional manual adjustment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the machine, securely bolt the base to a sturdy workbench using the provided mounting holes to ensure minimal vibration. Always verify that the grinding wheel and sanding belt are seated correctly and that all guards are tightened before starting the motor. For maintenance, regularly clear out metal shavings and sawdust from the housing to prevent accumulation. Check the sanding belt tracking periodically; if the belt shifts, use the adjustment knob to center it on the rollers. Keep the grinding wheel dressed to ensure a flat, even surface, and inspect the power cord for any signs of wear before every use.
