Included with the Grinder3:
Quick-Fit Bit System 3/4 in.

Engineered with an industrial elastomer, the patented Quick-Fit Bit System absorbs grinding vibration and can be adjusted vertically on the grinder shaft, enabling full utilization of the grinding surface. Changing bits is fast, even for individuals with reduced grip strength. Replacement sleeves available in Rapid, Standard, Fine and Ultra Fine varieties.

Aqua Flow System

The patented Aqua Flow System brush bristles transfer water from the reservoir to grinding bit heads via capillary action, requiring addition of water only at the onset of grinding.

Mini Splash Guard

The miniature version of the full Guard2 Splash Curtain helps maintain a clean, dry work surface while grinding.

Accessory Drawer

The exclusive, compartmentalized and built-in drawer is a space saving way to store spare bits, Aqua Flow System replacement brushes and more!

EZ-View® Windows & Lift Grid

It's important to keep a sufficient flow of water to the bit head while grinding. Fill to the Water Level Mark indicated inside the reservoir to ensure an optimal amount of water and prevent overfilling. Reservoir water level can be continuously monitored through the EZ-View Windows. The cut outs allow the Lift Grid to be easily removed for addition of water or cleaning.

Everwear® Bit Guard

Made from stainless steel, the bit guard allows for a secure fit between the Quick-Fit Bit® and the Grid. 3/4" Everwear Bit Guard Included, 1" Everwear Bit Guard Optional.
