Planning bench space and tilt clearance for your grinder

Plan for the complete working setup, not just the chassis footprint. Motor length, tooling-arm position, tool rest and tilt movement can all change the space required.

Check these dimensions before installation

• Mounting area: the chassis/base and motor mounting pattern.
• Working envelope: belt path, extended tooling arm, tool rest and space to handle your work.
• Tilt sweep: the motor, controls and attachments must clear the bench and nearby objects through the intended movement.
• Access: room for normal controls, belt changes and the operating position.

A general bench-size estimate is not a mounting template or a guarantee of clearance. Use the current model’s installation instructions and the dimensions of your actual motor and accessories.

Using an existing motor?

Send its model label, overall length and mounting photos to support@diktatorgrinder.com before ordering if clearance is uncertain. See How the Electric Motor Mounts to Your Grinder. For the MAX, also use Diktator MAX 2×72 Tilting Belt Grinder Setup Guide.
