USED W.D. ALLEN 10'' DUAL WHEEL GRINDER

W.D. Allen 10" Dual Wheel Pedestal GrinderModel: 10" DE | Type: Double-End Pedestal | Build: Heavy Cast-IronTechnical SpecificationsWheel Capacity: 10" Diameter x 1" or 1.25" WidthSpindle Speed: Approx. 1,750 – 1,800 RPM (Low-speed design for heat control)Motor: Industrial Induction Motor, typically 1 HP to 1.5 HPElectrical: 220V / 440V Dual-Voltage, 3-PhaseArbor Size: Commonly 1" or 1-1/4" center holeConstruction: Full cast-iron base, motor housing, and wheel guardsSafety: Integrated heavy-duty tool rests and (originally) cast spark shieldsKey Performance FeaturesSuperior Stability: The sheer weight of the W.D. Allen pedestal (approx. 300+ lbs) absorbs torque and vibration, allowing for precise grinding that lighter modern benchtop models cannot match.Large Diameter Clearance: The 10-inch wheel capacity provides more surface area and greater clearance for large workpieces, making it ideal for heavy fabrication and weld cleanup.Industrial Cooling: Most vintage W.D. Allen units are designed with a low-speed motor (1800 RPM range), which reduces the risk of "burning" or ruining the temper on hardened steel tools compared to high-speed (3450 RPM) grinders.Bulletproof Build: These machines were manufactured during an era of "over-engineering," meaning they are easily rebuilt with standard industrial bearings and can run for several more decades.
