Brodbeck - MagSwitch Surface Grinder Attachment

Brodbeck Surface Grinder Attachment

The Brodbeck Surface Grinder Attachment is a powerful and practical solution for achieving flat, clean, and uniform steel surfaces with precision and repeatability. Designed specifically for knife makers, metalworkers, and fabricators, it excels at preparing steel for welding, flattening material for proper fitment, cleaning forged surfaces, and even removing minor warpage.

This surface grinder is an essential tool in applications like mosaic Damascus fabrication and folder knife making, where a flat surface is critical for clean assembly and reliable performance.

Key features include:

• A 15" x 3" magnetic chuck with MagSwitch functionality for quick and secure material clamping

• A 4" diameter x 2" wide solid rubber contact wheel for consistent material removal

• An adjustable table that supports material up to 1-7/8" thick

• A bearing and rail system with angle correction to align the contact wheel and chuck

• A fine-thread feed system for smooth, controlled passes

While not a precision surface grinder in the micrometer range, this attachment has demonstrated ±0.005" flatness accuracy in real-world tests—especially when paired with fresh 3M Cubitron belts and minimal material removal per pass.

Please Note:

• The angle adjustment system is not intended for cutting bevels or tapering handles—it only corrects minor misalignment between the contact wheel and chuck.

• Flatness results depend on careful setup and optimal belt condition.

For reliable surface grinding performance in a real-world workshop setting, the Brodbeck Surface Grinder Attachment delivers control, accuracy, and value.
