Diamond grinding has become, by far, the most popular way to grind glass or stone. Because it is so much faster than any other method, it pays for itself in a very short time.
The B1 was designed specifically to drive these discs vibration-free at the much higher speeds required by diamonds.
1. Base: The frame is all welded construction using 2" heavy-duty 1/8" tubular steel. Machinery grade 3" adjustable levelers. Chip-proof powdercoat enamel. Individual switches for light, motor, pump. 8' line cord
2. Splash Guard: This very unique brush stops coolant spray that comes off the disc. It need not be removed for longer pieces, as the glass passes right through the bristles without affecting their ablility to stop the spray
3. Housing: Molded polyethlene which will not rust
4. Light: Industrial 100 watt Moffatt gooseneck lamp. Easily adjusts to any position
5. Coolant: Completely plumbed for use with either a recirculating pump or city water supply. This type of flexible spout makes it easy to direct a heavy stream of coolant to any area of the grinding disc
6. Drive Assembly: An ultra-precise ground 1" stainless drive shaft and a 3 3/4" stainless mounting flange provide a drive surface which totally eliminates vibration. The grinding disc is held in place by a countersunk screw, so that the grinding surface is totally flat. Upper and lower ball bearings are permanently sealed and lubricated industrial grade
7. Motor: Fixed-speed motor is a 1 HP "industrial" quality Baldor, or the variable-speed motor is a permanant magnet "industrial" quality Magnetek
8. Speed Control: Comes only with the variable-speed motor. An electronic control that produces a constant torque and includes current limiting to protect both the permanent-magnet motor and control. By changing the dial, the drive shaft speed is continuously varible between zero and 1100 RPM
