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.
