Suhner (Australia) introduces a new range of portable grinders designed to provide cordless convenience in grinding and polishing stainless steel and aluminium.
Suhner’s ‘A’ Battery Series includes the portable ASC 9 straight grinder, the ABC 7 belt grinder, the AKC 3 fillet weld grinder and the ATC tube polisher.
The new portable grinder range combines maximum flexibility, mobility and ease of use to provide high quality grinding and tube polishing in the workshop, on building and work sites, and difficult-to-reach areas. Being portable, the range facilitates easy operation and also provides added safety as the units are cordless and have a built-in shutdown mechanism in the event of overheating or overloading.
The four models in Suhner’s ‘A’ Battery Series portable grinders feature the latest generation of electric motor as well as efficient battery technology as standard; powerful battery packs delivering a massive 18V for a total capacity of 4 Ah; two battery packs supplied for continuous use; and robust and durable design with a shock absorbent rubber jacket shielding the battery packs from hard knocks.
The ergonomic, lightweight, lean and compact design helps the portable grinders deliver user-friendly operation.
ATC 7 tube polishers
Perfect for polishing stainless steel and aluminium tubes up to 48mm in diameter, the mobile ATC 7 tube polisher offers excellent manoeuvrability on tight elbows while its wraparound angle of at least 180° ensures fast and efficient work. A detachable guard protects the motor from coarse dust.
AKC 3 portable fillet weld grinders
Specifically developed for metalwork, the AKC 3 portable fillet weld grinder features a long neck for the user to reach tight spots on railings and other metal structures. The weld grinder’s extremely low crosshead and 2.2kg weight add to easy manoeuvring.
ASC 9 straight grinders
The mobile ASC 9 straight grinder works best with nonwoven brushes and flap wheels, and is perfect for removing tarnish and blending matt surfaces. Key features include high torque and even speed during operation; chuck system minimising vibrations and ensuring quiet operation; choice of standard 6mm chucks or a ¼-inch chuck; battery speed of 9,000 rpm; and 2kg unit weight with battery.
ABC 7 belt grinder
Designed specifically for use in tight spaces when working in fillet welds or mitres, the portable ABC 7 belt grinder delivers extremely fast grinding and polishing belt changes, and can be fitted with 3mm, 6mm and 12mm belts. Users can also choose from flexible options including six different contact arms available for belts 3, 6, 12, 16, and 19mm wide. The ABC 7 operates at a speed of 7,000 rpm and weighs just 2.4kg with the battery pack.
