No. 51 -L Barnhart
pictured with standard friction head. |
|
The paybacks for well maintained,
precisely ground band wheels are big: better lumber is produced in the mill, less benching
is required, and there are fewer gullet cracks to repair. The important job of band
wheel grinding is accomplished quicker and simpler through the use of Armstrong's No. 51
Barnhart wheel grinder. |
The Barnhart grinder is a very
effective, popular tool for grinding the faces of band wheels. Equipped with ball
bearings in the arbor, the No. 51 Barnhart grinder is designed to grind band wheels
running at full speed. |
The optional motorized head
attachment, or power head, provides increased safety to the operator by eliminating the
need for a steel belt or "blank" saw to drive the top band wheel. The
power head is easy to set-up and is completely interchangeable with the standard head on
both the No. 51 and No. 51-L models. |

The portable Barnhart Grinder is
easily installed and mounts directly on the band mill. The 4-screw end brackets, as
shown in the photo, are quick and simple to adjust. Once in place, the Barnhart can
be used to grind band wheels flat, with a "step crown" or with a slightly arched
crown. |
Armstrong's No. 51 Barnhart Band
Wheel Grinders are available in two sizes. The No. 51 is built for single band mills
and comes with a 40" bed. The No. 51-L has a 60" bed and is ideal for all
close-coupled quad band mills. |

OPTIONS: |
Heavy-Duty
Motorized Head Attachment |
The 3 h.p. power head eliminates the
need for a steel belt or "blank" saw to drive the top wheel, making the job
quicker and much safer. |
With no saw or steel belt required,
time consuming set-ups are eliminated, especially on Quad, Twin and Single band wheels
with limited space between the wheels. |
The power head is easily installed
on both the No. 51 and 51-L Barnhart Grinders, using the same holes as the standard head.
Safety guards are provided covering the belt, pulleys and grinding wheel. |
|
Remote
Control |
The easily attached remote control
unit allows the operator to accurately control the movements of the grinding wheel while
standing back away from it. An excellent safety feature, the remote control option
reduces the hazard of flying grit without sacrificing accuracy. |
