Sharpening & dressing · review
A wire brush wheel on one side, which turns the machine into the fastest way to take rust off small parts.
Where we come out The version to buy if rust is your daily material — and treat the brush with more caution than the wheel.
Sixty-six euros, a 350 W S6 motor, and a wire brush wheel already fitted — which is what most people actually use a bench grinder for.
Ask anyone with a bench grinder what it does most weeks and the answer is rarely « sharpening ». It is cleaning up: taking rust off a bracket, stripping paint from a bolt head, cleaning a weld before painting. A brush wheel does that in seconds and does not remove metal, which is exactly right on a part you want to keep the dimensions of.
Bought separately, a decent brush wheel is a meaningful fraction of the price difference between this machine and the plain TC-BG 150.
S6 is an intermittent rating. The 350 W applies to bursts with rest between them, not to continuous work. It is the same idea as a welder’s duty cycle, and it is why a bench grinder used hard for twenty minutes gets hot.
A brush wheel throws bristles. At speed, a shed bristle is a fine needle traveling fast. Safety glasses are the minimum and a face shield is the right answer, and the work belongs below the wheel’s center line so anything thrown goes downwards.
Power and duty class, wheel diameter, the fitted brush and the list of applications come from the manufacturer’s published specification. Market availability was verified per market on the EAN.

Intermittent periodic duty: the motor is rated to run at that power for part of a cycle and rest for the remainder — typically expressed as a percentage over ten minutes. It is the bench-grinder equivalent of a welder’s duty cycle, and it means the 350 W figure describes bursts of work rather than an hour of continuous grinding.
It demands respect. Brush wheels shed bristles at speed, and a bristle traveling from a 150 mm (5.91 in) wheel is a needle. Safety glasses are not enough — a full face shield is the correct protection, along with keeping the work below the center line so anything thrown goes down rather than up.
Same shelf, nearest price — what else that money puts on the bench.
