Air Cushioned Dead Head Assembly

Refer to Figures 10 and 11. The air-cushioned dead head is for use on very small radius grinding. When connected to a source of shop air (80-90 psi), the belt rides on a cushion of air to decrease head and belt wear. The dead head is easy to use, and adapts to any of the available radius tips.
