GenGrind Belt BT – Tabletop Dual-Stage Belt Grinder
Metal Testing Equipment
Description
The GenGrindBelt BT series is a dual stage, wet or dry table top belt grinder, and it is the most economical of our manual grinding machines. It is designed for high material removal on samples of different shapes and configurations, and it sits on a bench in the laboratory.
The belt protective coverings come off easily to remove and replace the grinding belts. A faucet is built into the front of the unit for washing dust and debris off the specimens, water flow is controlled for each individual belt, and a vacuum connection is recommended for the cleanest grinding. Belts, cloths and lubricants for the machine are stocked as consumables.
