The GCTS Specimen Grinder provides the final step to preparing test specimens with parallel and flat ends according to ASTM and ISRM specifications. The grinder is driven by a heavy-duty 2.0 HP electric motor for durability. A diamond grinding cup-wheel is provided along with a sample holder which can be made in variety of sizes. The grinder comes with a 7" (177 mm) diamond cup wheel which can easily grind specimens from 25 mm to 150 mm diameter in a single pass.
The RSG-500 can be supplied with the optional air cooling and dust collection systems. Also available is the optional automation upgrade for computer controlled grinding.
