The DEWALT DW756 is a 6-inch bench grinder built around a 5/8 HP induction motor, with an industrial cast iron base and motor housing, a wheel speed of 3,450 RPM and 12-1/2 inches between the wheels. It sits at number one in this guide on the strength of 4.7 out of 5 from 1,826 Amazon ratings, at £237.68.

Its own listing, though, does not quite agree with itself. The bullet says 5/8 HP; the horsepower field says 0.63 HP, which is the same figure rounded. But 5/8 HP works out at roughly 466 W, and the wattage field lists 440 watts. The voltage field says 110 Volts, which is not the 230 V that comes out of a UK socket. Everything on this page is copied from the Amazon listing — we have not run the DW756 ourselves.

## Questions people ask

**Does the 5/8 HP figure match the wattage in the listing?**

Not exactly. 5/8 HP works out at about 466 W, while the DEWALT DW756 wattage field lists 440 watts. The horsepower field itself says 0.63 HP, which does match the 5/8 HP bullet — so two of the three figures agree and the wattage is the odd one out.

**What voltage does the DEWALT DW756 run on?**

The voltage field in the listing says 110 Volts, which is not the 230 V UK mains supply. It is worth checking that before ordering.

**How fast do the wheels turn?**

Both the bullet points and the spec field give 3,450 RPM for the DEWALT DW756 motor.

**What size is it and how far apart are the wheels?**

It is listed as a 6-inch bench grinder with a 12-1/2-inch distance between the wheels.

**What do buyers say about it?**

The DEWALT DW756 has 4.7 out of 5 from 1,826 ratings on Amazon. The breakdown shown in the listing adds up to 100 rather than 1,826, so those bars are percentages, not counts.

**How heavy is it?**

The listing gives an item weight of 13.8 kg, with an industrial cast iron base and motor housing.
