8100 Series Wet Grinding
The Alternative to milling & Stone Grinding
The 8100 Series is Timesaver’s largest machine, featuring a reciprocating bed and high horsepower. Manufactured in The Netherlands, this machine uses wide belt coated abrasives to hold very tight tolerances, and can be used regularly to grind titanium, molybdenum, stainless steel, aluminum nickel alloys, and carbon steel.
Calibration is uses a wide belt abrasive to reduce the thickness of a component to a fixed dimension. This often requires a slow conveyor speed or a reciprocating table with high horsepower per inch of the sanding belt, hard sanding rollers, high abrasive belt speeds, and coarse grit abrasive belts. Milling with a cutting tool is the fastest and cheapest way to calibrate, but the finish can often be too rough. Stone grinding provides a much better finish, but is slow and more costly. Calibrating with a wide belt machine typically has a cost closer to milling but a finish closer to stone grinding, making it an excellent alternative.
