Disc Cutter

In large volume grinding operations, such as automotive body shops, this device can achieve significant savings. It trims the disc to a smaller diameter when the outer edge is no longer useable. Replacement blade kits are available.

Marvelube Abrasive Lubricant

An extra dry, solid grinding compound that minimizes abrasive loading, the major cause of abrasive failure, when grinding aluminum, plastics, glues, resins and paints. Discs and belts treated with Marvelube can last up to 10 times longer than untreated abrasives.

Unlike other grinding compounds, Marvelube exhibits no plastic stage prior to melting. Parts can be blown clean when dry. It extends the life of abrasives used on stainless and carbon steels. It is non-toxic with a flashpoint of about 345 deg. F. Material Safety Data Sheet is available. Supplied in 18 oz. tubes for easy application.

A Marvel designed adjustable spanner wrench which adapts to all variations of back-up pad threaded nuts.
