Model SB1029

This 6 x 18" Surface Grinder allows you to 
smooth the surface of metallic workpieces. It 
utilizes a table that moves on a horizontal plane 
and a grinding wheel that moves along a vertical 
axis. By mounting a workpiece to the table, then 
moving the table and the grinding wheel during 
the grinding process, extremely small amounts of 
material can be removed to create high-tolerance 
flat surfaces.

One example of this type of work is the table 
surface of a metalworking or woodworking 
machine that needs to be made perfectly flat. 
By removing the table from the machine and 
processing it with a surface grinder, a perfectly 
flat surface can be created.

Another example of this type of work is in the 
automotive industry. When a head gasket needs 
replacing, it is common practice to resurface the 
engine head to make sure it is perfectly flat, in 
case any warping has occurred.

The SB1029 is equipped with three easy-to-reach 
front-mounted handwheels for controlling table 
movement and grinding wheel elevation. 

An integrated lubrication system uses a central 
oil pump to lubricate the major moving parts 
on all three axes, ensuring smooth and precise 
grinding results.

The dust port can be connected to a chip 
extraction system to pull away waste material 
and fumes created during the grinding 
process, resulting in a cleaner and safer work 
environment.

The included diamond dresser is used to true the 
grinding wheel, ensuring high-precision results.

Aside from these features, we designed this 
machine to be extremely solid and durable. 
With thick, hardened steel ways, cast-iron 
construction, and Allen Bradley electrical 
components, this South Bend surface grinder is 
built to last.
