This is the BRAND NEW 84 Engineering Plunge Platen in either 6 or 19mm to suit the Shop Mate 48 and Shop Master 72 and 2000 Belt Grinders Quick Release Tool Arms.

 

The unique design make the otherwise intricate task of grinding plunge lines and rounded corners simple and repeatable. The plunge platens use either a 6mm or 19mm small wheel rather than a radiused steel edge for reduced friction. This equates to cooler grinding and increased belt life.

 

Designed to provide the best finish on your knife, there is minimal gap between the roller and the radiused edge of the platen. The result of this is that the 84 Engineering radius platen will leave no transition between the wheel and 215mm flat platen, keeping hand sanding to a minimum if required at all. We recommend the 6mm plunge platen for thinner blades and the 19mm for integral bolster style blades.

 

Our plunge platens use our standard Quick Release spigot, so will easily swap out with the platen on the Shop Mate 48”, Shop Master 72” or Shop Master 2000mm belt grinders / linishers using their standard tooling arms. You can also use the plunge platen with a 84 Engineering small wheel arm, resting the back of the platen on the 2" idler wheel.

Threaded holes on either side of the plunge platen allow for the spigot to be mounted to either side. This means the plunge platen can be used with the platen facing up or down depending on application or preference.

 

Please note, due to the size of small wheels they should not be run at full speed on variable speed grinders. On our Shop Mate and Shop Master belt grinders they should only be run in the slow, green zone of your speed controller.


We recommend the use of light backed belts with these small wheels as heavy X and Z weight belts do not easily bend to such a tight radius.
