Tip top

The small footprint 48” just got rid of its only downside with the left hand clearance on this platen attachment.
Now to adjust the brain memory of doing things all On one side for the last 6 yrs!
Looking forward to testing out the extra slack options and larger contact wheel too!

Tri Platen

Still learning to adapt. It is a great addition making flat grinding easier. I have not tried hollow grinding yet but will be trying soon after watching a few more videos.

Great improvement for my 2x48

I got the tri platen attachement a couple of weeks ago, I don’t have a 84 but it fits perfectly, it would be great if you could choose the mesure of the arm as well but I made an attachment and works perfectly fine, a game changer for me that’s for sure

Awesome new platen

Fabulous build quality as always. Super useful with the different sized 3 wheels, the different slack-belt options, and MUCH better clearance on the LHS for grinding bevels, especially when clamped to 123 blocks. Love it.

Shope mate 48 Tri Platen

Picked up the Tri Platen for my shop mate 48 grinder. Awesome addition to the grinder, adding not only the 4" wheel and the different choices of slack belt grinding that the tri Platen offers, but also gives more clearance on the left side of the platen from the tooling arm.
Love it!

I have been using 84 Engineering belt grinders for many years, it's truly the one tool that gets the most use in my garage building motorcycles, It's one of those tools that you wonder how you ever did without! I highly recommend anyone working with steel have one! Dan - Cafe Race Garage -YouTube
