VM-1 Belt Grinder

R6800.00

With the VM-1 grinder we incorporated some of the best features from the BLADE machine into a modular offering that provides a much lower entry cost, while at the same time allowing expansion for future needs. This provides a great opportunity for customers to own a top quality Vormac machine, but do not need all the features of our flagship grinder to start off with. 

The VM-1 is compatible with all Blade accessories and fitting already owned contact wheels (even from other manufacturers) is no problem. Stable and accurate tracking is conveniently adjustable at the jockey wheel. An optional compact tilting base allows for a horizontal grinding position. Accessories can either mount in slots on a 40mm aluminum receiver arm, or have separate arms for faster swapping. These machines are built to Vormac's high standard to exceed any expectations for accuracy and top performance.

The Chassis includes:

  • Machine Frame

  • Crowned Jockey/Tracking Wheel

  • Main Arm with Slotted Mount Plate

  • Platen Attachment

  • Adjustable Platen Work Rest

Other options builds onto the Chassis and include:

  • Motor

  • Drive Wheel

  • VFD (speed control) *

  • Wired Remote Control *

  • Electrical wiring all fully assembled and set up.

(* subject to selected option)

  • Fully adjustable Octo-Arm with Work Rest and micro-tilt - R 3480 (R 2080 when the Octo-Arm is selected instead of the Platen Work Rest during the purchase of a new VM-1)
