Brodbeck Ironworks “MagSwitch” Surface Grinder Attachment

Description

The Brodbeck Ironworks MagSwitch Surface Grinder Attachment is designed to accurately and efficiently finish steel surfaces. It can be used to prepare/clean steel for welding, flatten steel for proper fitment, clean forged surfaces, and may even be used to remove minor warps. The Surface Grinder is an extremely useful tool in mosaic Damascus fabrication and folder knife fabrication among others.

The MagSwitch chuck has an on/off mechanical switch, allowing you to fix or remove your blades and other items quickly and easily, without sliding and scratching, or needing to use a cover plate. This chuck will not pinch fingers. It will be easy to keep clean of debris. The magnetic chuck’s dimensions are 15 x 3 inches (380 x 76mm). The table is adjustable to hold up to 1-7/8” (47mm) thick material. The solid rubber contact wheel has a 4-inch (100mm) diameter x 2-inch (50mm) width. The bearing and rail system used in this design allows for angle adjustment to correct alignment between the contact wheel and the magnetic chuck. Together with our fine thread feed system, this surface grinder can achieve an accurate and controlled finish.

IMPORTANT NOTES: The alignment adjustment feature is NOT intended for cutting bevels or tapering handles. It is only intended for correcting minor misalignments between the contact wheel and the magnetic chuck. For best possible accuracy, we recommend using fresh, sharp belts and taking small, incremental passes to remove small amounts of material at a time.
