Promatek Checkers and Grinders (model 2714) — bench tool for metal and wood surface preparation

Promatek Checkers and Grinders (model 2714) is a bench-mounted tool designed for surface preparation of metal and wood workpieces. It offers a stable working platform for grinding, deburring and visual or dimensional checking of parts. The tool is intended for workshop and light industrial use where controlled material removal and accurate surface finishing are required.

Advantages

The bench configuration provides consistent stability and repeatability for abrasive tasks. It combines functions for grinding and checking in a single unit, reducing the need to move workpieces between separate stations. Construction suitable for both metal and wood applications supports versatility in mixed-material workshops. The design emphasizes user control and predictable surface results, which aids in efficient component preparation.

Suitable for

• Grinding and removing burrs from small to medium-sized metal parts
• Surface preparation and light shaping of wooden components
• Visual inspection and measurement checks after machining
• Workshop finishing tasks and prototype adjustments

Key specifications

• Bench-mounted configuration for fixed positioning during operation
• Compatible with abrasive wheels and attachments suited to metal and wood
• Stable base designed to reduce vibration and improve accuracy
• Suitable for small and medium workpieces commonly found in workshops

How to use

Secure the unit to a suitable bench or work surface before starting. Fit an appropriate abrasive wheel or attachment for the material and task, ensuring it is rated for the tool's operating speed. Position the workpiece against the wheel with steady, controlled motion, keeping hands clear of moving parts and using holding fixtures or clamps when necessary. For checking operations, use visual inspection and measuring tools while the workpiece is stationary to verify surface flatness and feature dimensions.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, hearing protection and dust masks when grinding or deburring. Match abrasive type and grit size to the material—coarser grits for rapid material removal, finer grits for finishing. Regularly inspect wheels and attachments for wear or damage, and maintain a clean, well-lit workspace to ensure accurate checking and safe operation.
