Design and Construction

A flame head that earns three bench duties: grinding duty on the coarse flanks, engraving duty on the fine nose, and polishing duty when swept lightly at high RPM with polishing compound. One head replaces three setup changes on small work.

How It Works

Duty changes with speed and pressure: grind at 35,000 RPM with pressure, engrave at 45,000 RPM nose-only, polish with compound at top RPM and a feather touch.

Applications

Jewellery benches, model engineering, art metalwork, small-part finishing.

Field Cases

  • Jewellery bench: one flame ground, engraved and polished a silver pendant in one session.
  • Model engineer: three setup changes eliminated on a small brass part.
  • Art metalwork: sculptors kept one head on the tool for the whole detail pass.
