About This Machine
Capabilities
This 6 x 18" Surface Grinder allows you to
smooth the surface of metallic workpieces. It
utilizes a table that moves on a horizontal plane
and a grinding wheel that moves along a vertical
axis. By mounting a workpiece to the table, then
moving the table and the grinding wheel during
the grinding process, extremely small amounts of
material can be removed to create high-tolerance
flat surfaces.
One example of this type of work is the table
surface of a metalworking or woodworking
machine that needs to be made perfectly flat.
By removing the table from the machine and
processing it with a surface grinder, a perfectly
flat surface can be created.
Another example of this type of work is in the
automotive industry. When a head gasket needs
replacing, it is common practice to resurface the
engine head to make sure it is perfectly flat, in
case any warping has occurred.
Features
The SB1029 is equipped with three easy-to-reach
front-mounted handwheels for controlling table
movement and grinding wheel elevation.
An integrated lubrication system uses a central
oil pump to lubricate the major moving parts
on all three axes, ensuring smooth and precise
grinding results.
The dust port can be connected to a chip
extraction system to pull away waste material
and fumes created during the grinding
process, resulting in a cleaner and safer work
environment.
The included diamond dresser is used to true the
grinding wheel, ensuring high-precision results.
Aside from these features, we designed this
machine to be extremely solid and durable.
With thick, hardened steel ways, cast-iron
construction, and Allen Bradley electrical
components, this South Bend surface grinder is
built to last.
