GLASS PLATEN

$12.95 - $32.95

One piece of Ceramic Platen liner. Our standard size is 3/16" x 2" x 8". This size fits most 2 x 72 belt Sanders.

We also carry a standard size for 1" x 30" belt sanders such as Harbor Freight and Grizzly. This measures 1" x 2 1/2 "

This is Neo-Ceram or Pyro-Ceram. A ceramic fireplace glass.

Neo-Ceram is modern material for our age. It is designed for thermal shock resistance and stability against high temperatures. Withstands continuous temperatures to 1292 degrees F. Nearly three times that of tempered glass.

Provides a smoother, longer lasting platen.

Mount this to your belt sander platen using J B Weld or 2 pieces of double sided high strength tape. There are several excellent You Tube videos (glass platen) for mounting instructions. HINT: If you use double sided tape, the platen can be carefully removed with acetone. Soak from the top and carefully pry with a putty knife until tape releases. This is especially useful if one side of platen is chipped. It can be reversed.

A small steel shelf installed to support your glass platen is a must. These instructions are also included in the You Tube videos.

NOTE: MEASURE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU ORDER. BE SURE TO INCLUDE IN YOUR MEASUREMENT THE EXTRA 3/4" NEEDED FOR THE SAFETY SHELF. 

RETURN POLICY: If received damaged, email photo within 2 days for replacement. If you break it while installing, you own all the pieces. 

NOTE: If the size you need is not in the drop down list, please use the "Contact Us" form and we will trim your platen to the size you need.

Glass Platen Safety Shelf

$12.95

For 2" x 72" grinders. The safety shelf is one piece of steel ¾” x 2” x 5/32” thick.  This is the perfect size of safety shelf for 2” x 72” sander/grinder.  A safety shelf needs to be just slightly thinner than the ceramic glass itself.  Our ceramic glass is 3/16”.  This allows the sanding belt to run smoothly without interference.  The safety shelf is drilled and tapped and comes with cap screws ready to install.

  Installation is easy.  Temporarily fasten the safety shelf to the base of your steel platen with a clamp or vice grips.  Carefully mark where you want to drill your holes with a “Sharpie permanent marker” or center punch.  Remove the safety shelf and drill ¼” holes in your metal platen where you marked.  Fasten the cap screws from the back of your steel platen.  Grind flat the screws that protrude so the face is flat.  Measure from your safety shelf to the top of the metal platen and order the length of ceramic glass your need. 

Instructions with photos will be enclosed with your order.
