Ideal for lapidary and glass work, Lortone Arbors are used for grinding and polishing.
Their widely spaced wheel centers are easy to use and can accommodate a variety of
grinding/polishing wheels and drums. We use a sturdy welded steel frame coated with
a high quality powder-coat nish for durability and smooth running rubber mounted
bearings for quiet operation. Tapped shaft ends make installing spin-on polish heads
simple. Requires the use of an overhead drip or pump fed coolant system. Motor and
wheels not included.

Do Not Operate Without Water! Using this machine without water can generate signicant amounts of
dust and result in reduced life of sanding belts and wheels.
•
A gravity feed water system (Fig. 1) or an under wheel water spitter with pump (Fig. 2) should be used to
supply water to the wheels during operation.
•
Always wear eye protection and dust mask when using equipment. Failure to do so can result in severe
injury or illness.
•
Turn on motor and run arbor up to speed prior to applying water to wheels.
•
After use, turn water source off and run wheels and drums for several seconds to remove excess water.
•
Drain unit and wipe dry after use. If desired, a drain system can be attached for continuous draining
during use (Fig. 3). If water will be left in machine, add a small amount of rust inhibitor.
