8 x 2 in. 2x72 Belt Grinder Platen 36 in. Radius

Achieve professional-grade hollow grinds with the Diktator Grinders 36 in. Radius Platen, precision-engineered for 2x72 belt grinders. This platen is specifically designed for fabricators and knife makers seeking a subtle, controlled curve often utilized in "S" grinds for superior food release. Manufactured from hardened D2 tool steel, it offers extreme wear resistance and dimensional stability for high-volume shop environments.

• Hardened D2 tool steel construction for maximum abrasion resistance and edge retention
• 8 x 2 in. surface area with a 1/2 in. maximum thickness for high-pressure grinding
• Precision-machined 36 in. radius provides a consistent, gentle concave geometry
• Pre-tapped 1/4-20 mounting holes spaced 6 in. apart for universal compatibility
• USA-made durability ensures long-lasting performance under heavy stock removal

This 2x72 belt grinder platen allows you to replicate the delicate hollow grind typically achieved on very large grinding wheels. By focusing the grinding pressure on a subtle radius, you reduce friction and heat buildup compared to flat grinding while maintaining the necessary cross-sectional strength in your blades. Upgrade your grinder setup with this precision-turned steel platen to achieve repeatable, professional results on every project.
