The ultimate grinder

The ultimate grinder was designed to enhance and combine the functionality of Batavia Engineering’s famous CUTLERMATIC, MINI-CUTLERMATIC and DISCMATIC.

One of it's most attractive features is that it's extremely compact. Even though it saves a lot of space, it still remains very robust and sturdy, making the ultimate grinder a very practically useful machine.

The design incorporates Bertie Rietveld’s foot operated, quick release mechanism for belt changes. The famous fine positive dynamic belt tracking which has been proven and perfected on the CUTLERMATIC since 1988 is also present.

The contact wheel releases easily by slightly loosening a knob and sliding it out of the diagonal slots. Larger wheels are moved backwards so that the same size-grinding belt can be used. The same size belt is also used for the mini – grinding attachment.
