Air Cushioned Dead Head Assembly
Refer to Figures 10 and 11. The air-cushioned dead
head is for use on very small radius grinding. When
connected to a source of shop air (80-90 psi), the
belt rides on a cushion of air to decrease head and
belt wear. The dead head is easy to use, and adapts
to any of the available radius tips.
