Handheld Bit Grinders
Portable pneumatic and electric grinders for reprofiling buttons at the drill or at the face. Lower consistency than a bench machine, and far quicker to reach.
Features
- Grinding at the drill removes the trip to a workshop, which is what makes regrinding actually happen on schedule.
- Guide attachments help hold the correct angle, and without one the profile depends entirely on the operator.
- Pneumatic units draw on the same compressor as the drills, so air capacity has to be checked.
- Water feed attachments control heat and dust at the point of grinding.
- Consistency is lower than a bench grinder, so they suit interim regrinds between workshop passes.
