With 30 years of experience at the forefront of abrasive belt grinding, we are excited to introduce the QC grinder. This machine combines superior design, precise tolerances, and premium materials to provide a versatile and reliable workhorse that is a joy to operate.

  • Uses the readily available 2″ x 72″ belt. They are available in grits from 36 all the way into your super fine microns and everywhere in between! Scotch brite & lapping belts are even available.
  • Machined from solid billet aluminum and anodized for beauty and durability. No castings, except for the base of the pedestal, in this gem!
  • Standard is a Baldor 1.5 HP variable speed motor. (2 HP available upon request) The motor is controlled by a custom made VFD specifically for our grinders that gives you a lot of belt speed control while still maintaining torque.
  • The pedestal is included standard and features a ‘no tool needed’ lock for tilting the grinder from vertical to horizontal in a matter of seconds.
  • A tool rack is available that bolts to the rear of your pedestal to keep your tooling close at hand and keep your shop organized as well.
  • Need focused lighting to concentrate on your grinding? No problem… LED gooseneck lighting also comes standard and is incorporated into the grinder!
  • Tool changes are a breeze! No tools needed and tool changes can be made in a matter of seconds!

Get shit done quicker

I grind a lot and I teach as well. If you want to increase your productivity this is grinder you need. It runs with the lowest vibration level of any grinder I have ever used. If you have to plant yourself in front of a machine to grind multiple knives in quick succession there is no better option.

Best Grinder

I have owned and used about 8 different grinders, the QC is by far the best. It’s so smooth and quiet to operate compared to the others. With almost zero vibrations I can clean up a grind very quickly without any deep scratches from the grit.

Best around

I’ve had the chance to use this grinder, and own/use my dedicated Hardcore 1” Rotary Platen belt grinder almost daily. Simply put…the best belt grinders I’ve ever used.
