Multitool Speeds Up Grinding
If you use a stone grinder in your shop, you’ll appreciate the Multitool, says Greg Bolton, national sales manager.
  “It removes metal five times faster than a traditional bench grinder. And there are four extra work areas,” he says, for front contact wheel grinding, flat platen grinding, slack-belt grinding, and disc grinding. With different belts, the Multitool can do it all - grind, sand, shape, sharpen, clean, condition, buff and polish steel, plastic and wood.
  “The Multitool has been around nearly 30 years since being developed in Australia,” Bolton says. “What sets it apart is the easy belt change in a matter of seconds. Simply depress the belt, remove it and slip on another belt.”
  Since Bolton’s brother, Joe, brought the Multitool to the U.S. in 2000, several markets have found it useful. Farriers use it to shape and polish horseshoes. Welders, blacksmiths, auto and tractor restorers, fabricators, and knife makers also find it fast and efficient. It’s portable so it can be used in the field with a generator. A variety of 2 by 36-in. belts with a wide range of grits and purposes work with the tool.
  The $229 attachment can be installed on standard grinders, or Multitool sells it for $495 on an 8-in., 1 hp. grinder. The company plans to offer a 4 by 48-in. belt option in the near future.
  Multitool was a big hit at the World Ag Expo in Tulare, Calif., and the Husker Harvest in Nebraska.
