Shop Mate 2x48" Belt Grinder, Angle Adjustable rest, 6mm Plunge Platen & belt Combo
Everything you need to grind and finish bevels like a Pro!
This is our newest combo kit, made specifically with the knife maker in mind.

All grinders and accessories are designed, manufactured and hand assembled in our workshop in the Snowy Mountains.
This little 2x48" belt grinder/linisher offers ample power and functionality in a compact, portable form factor.
With the twist of a handle, the 4-in-1 rotating platen provides:
- Flat steel platen
- 2" contact wheel
- 3" contact wheel
- Slack belt
Effortlessly and efficiently configure the grinder to flatten material, rough out a knife blank and shape a handle - all without the need for tools! (Changing belts is just as easy).
The Angle Adjustable Rest's fine angle adjustment knob, platen notch and large rest area make it the perfect tool for grinding your knife bevels.
Simply set the angle between the platen and rest at the calculated angle for your bevel, clamp your knife tang to a 123 block (or screw to a square block of wood) and start grinding!
The Plunge Platen (sometimes referred to as a 'waterfall platen') is an indispensable tool not only for getting plunge lines clean and symmetrical, but for sanding your freshly ground bevels to a consistent, high grit finish.
Stop scrapping blanks, save countless hours of work and all but eliminate hand sanding!
Included in the kit is our 3M Starter belt pack which includes:
Our Bench Top Stand (BTS) is the perfect addition to your Shop Mate 2x48" belt grinder / linisher. Providing a rigid and stable mounting platform, the BTS can be bolted to your existing work bench - great for those working in smaller areas or wanting to optimize on valuable floor space. The stand raises the grinder 185mm from the surface of your bench to a more usable working height, and the tilting mechanism breathes a whole new life into the existing functionality of your grinder.
Our Height Adjustable Pedestal Stand (HAPS) is the perfect addition to your Shop Mate 2x48" belt grinder / linisher, providing a compact, stable mounting platform for your VFD and grinder. These stands allow for a 300mm height adjustment (from 850-1150mm in 25mm steps), making it easy to set a comfortable and ergonomic working height regardless of your stature.
