A High Grade Unit for Finishing, Mitering, Squaring and Grinding
Designed to meet every requirement for accurate finishing, this abrasive disk finishing machine was ideal for the cabinet shop, sign shop, furniture manufacturer, pattern maker, or any place where an accurate, fast job was to be done. Begin portable, it could be moved to any place in the shop or on the production line.
Used with any standard Delta-Milwaukee ball bearing motor in 8 1/2" frame, the disk fit directly to the end of the motor shaft. The disk was specially machines to insure proper adhesion of abrasive disks, and by using disk adhesive for applying disks, there was no need for messy gluing of disks, now removal of disk from machine, no waiting overnight for new abrasive disks to dry. Abrasive disks could be renewed every few minutes if necessary. Of course this was later replaced by the peel and stick self-adhesive disks that are available for current disk sanders.
