We ordered the PTB for a bench grinder we were integrating into an automated debur process and I have to say, it works like a charm!
Steve @ SCG Woodcrafters –
A great product! Both units are working great and installation was simple.
Jeff Kaskey, The Last Factory –
Finally my grinder just STOPS and we don’t have to waste time watching it spin down or stupidly jabbing a stick at it. Now we have this on all our machines.
