Fitting the Graphite Pad
There are two options that can be fitted to the ‘Platen’.
• The ‘Platen’ on its own
• The ‘Graphite Pad’ which is included
For most applications we recommend the fitting of the graphite
pad ,the graphite pad has a self adhesive backing and is stuck
directly onto the front face of the platen.
The graphite pad helps reduce friction between the abrasive
belt and the platen,it also helps with smoother grinding as has
a slight cushion effect between the item being sharpened and
the abrasive belt.
There may be some applications where a more rigid grind is
needed and would recommend to use the platen with no pad
fitted.
