Guard removed to show machine detail Always wear eye, hearing and appropriate body protection. Bader Space Saver The Bader Space Saver is the most versatile belt grinding and polishing machine on the market. It's patented tracking system accurately tracks belts from 1/8" to 3" wide over soft buff or conventional rubber contact wheels. Shaped or flat faced 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 work 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 shown on page 3 and the centerless attachments on page 4 indicate some of the 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 3ph 3450 RPM TEFC motor. Variable speed with E-stop and brake, 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 IS HP are also available. Optional equipment in addition to the items shown include variable speed with E-stop and brake, air tensioning, work rest tables, and idler pulley tracking. Opdonal Space Saver Set Ups and Accessories Belt guard required by OSHA- supplied with machine. Eye, hearing and appropriate body protection must also be worn. Optional hinged angle plate permits user to lay machine on side for polishing long parts which are cumbersome and fatiguing to handle vertically. Lock-in fork and bearing hub are required for this set up. Space Saver Accessory Arms for Polishing or Stock Removal in Hard to Reach Areas. Mobile Grinder 5 HP Space Saver for heavy weld, billet, and plate grinding and polishing. Depth guide wheels are standard. Hanger bracket is available for use as a swing frame.

A maximum belt speed of 3000 SFPM is suggested for wheels under 3" 0.0. to prolong wheel life and maximize operator control. Drive pulleys to yield belt speeds from 1500 to 9000 SFPM available from stock.

Centerless Machines Always wear eye, hearing and appropriate body protection. The Standard Bader Centerless Attachment converts the 5 HP Bader Space Saver into a centerless grinding and polishing machine in minutes. Stock from I /4" to I 0" O.D. may be run in lengths up to 25 ft. provided bar weight does not exceed 300 lbs and stock supports are used. The speed and direction of feed are controlled by a single handle. This same handle is used to release grinding pressure when needed to protect threads, plunge cut only one section of the piece or grind up to a flange and remove. The machine adjusts for changes in stock diameter in less than a minute. Typical uses included finishing hand rails, punches, hydraulic shafts, tubular furniture stock, and large diameter drawn steel and aluminum cylinders, as well as applications designed to grind, deburr, clean and polish parts in preparation for plating or painting. The Bader Wheel Centerless polishes the OD of pipe and tube using non-woven abrasive wheels or wire brushes. The operator has full control over feed direction, speed and pressure. Typical uses include finishing handrails, punches, hydraulic shafts, sockets, cylinders, furniture stock as well as applications designed to grind, deburr and polish parts in preparation for plating or painting. The Linear Bearing Bader Centerless adds to the functionality of the standard centerless by floating the regulating wheel head on a linear bearing and applying precise pressure with an air cylinder/regulator combination. This allows slightly out of round parts and parts with tapers to be centerless ground or polished. A foot pedal allows the operator to control the motion of the head; freeing their hands to load or unload parts. This setup is also good for quick plunge cuts on short pieces that don't need to feed through the machine to get full belt coverage.
Always wear eye, hearing and appropriate body protection. Bm Bench Model The Bader BIII Bench Model is a rugged and powerful machine designed for production grinding and polishing but priced for tool room and maintenance applications.
