Abrasive-belt machine grinding head pivots 360 degrees

March 10, 2009

Dynabrade's Dynafile II air-powered abrasive-belt machine features a grinding head that pivots 360 degrees to access hard-to-reach areas.

The machine features a 20,000-RPM, direct-drive air motor that powers abrasive belts from 1/4 in. to 3/4 in. wide and 18 in. long. The handle has a 7-degree pitch to help prevent wrist and arm fatigue. The tool features interchangeable contact arms, and abrasive belts can be changed quickly.

Its thermal-insulated housing prevents cold air transmission to the operator's hand while reducing tool vibration. By adding a 1/4-in. collet, users can convert the air motor into a die grinder; adding a chuck converts it to an air drill.

A versatility kit is available that includes the tool, an assortment of contact arms, abrasive belts, and a 1/4-in. collet.
