The Bader Space Savers the most versatile belt grinding machine on the market. It's patented tracking system accurately tracks belts from 1/8" to 3" wide over a soft buff or conventional rubber contact wheels. Shaped or flat contact wheels from 1/2" to 18" O.D. may be used interchangeably with a constant belt speed and 132" belt length. The entire machine will pivot on its base to raise or lower the contact wheel to the optimum sitting or standing working height. Drive pulleys are available from stock to yield any desired belt speed from 1500 to 9000 SFPM. The rear mounted motor and recessed base leave the top, bottom and sides free of the obstructions common to typical backstand machines. The standard accessory arms and the centerless attachments indicate some variations available which may be added at any time. A mere change of contact wheel and/or accessory will, for instance, convert the unit from a machine highly suitable for hogging excess metal from cast or forged parts to one designed for the close tolerance final shaping and finishing of parts such as jet blades , surgical instruments or hand tools. Standard machines are powered by a 2 or a 5 HP 3 3600 RPM TEFC motor. Variable speed, two and 5 HP 2 speed and single phase single speed motors are commonly selected options. Special machines and accessories for use with belts up to 6" wide and motors up to 20 HP are also available.
