Best way to attach..?

While I don't know what the best way is to attach the pyroceram to the existing platen I can say what has worked for me and others. I attached mine with Devcon 2 ton epoxy, and I know of others using anything from that to 5min. epoxy, JB weld, Zap-A-Gap, and even silicone. I even heard of one trying two sided tape but I believe that failed. Much may depend on how hard one tends to lean on the grinder...?
Good luck with it, and please let us know what methods have worked for you. Thanks.

We are getting a few inquiries wondering if we still supply the pyroceram. Yes we are still supplying this material and try to keep the 2X6, 7, 8, and 9in. in stock, and can get most any size cut Thanks all.

I have two grinders and both have the pyroceram on the platten, one is 7" and the other 9". Both are attached with 2" wide double sided carpet tape and have been in use for many years.

The secret to making the tape work is to put a small foot across the bottom of the platen so that the glass cannot slide off over time. All I did was pin a small piece of steel to the bottom of the platen.

The benefit of using the tape is that the glass is fairly easy to replace if you should happen to break it.

The glass may be a little too long after you put the foot on the platen so you can either use a 7" glass on a 9" platen, have the platen cut a half inch shorter when you order it, or simply use the grinder to grind it down (which is what I did)....

Good idea Ray...and may even help keep the static to a minimum by having the metal lip closer to the belt..? Thanks.

Yes, some say it takes out the bump, runs slicker thereby reducing drag and heat which ultimately saves the bearings on the idler wheels, and extends belt life. Also is extremely flat which makes for some very nice flat grinds, and more durable than most any other platen available.
Maybe some of the others will add benifits they've found by converting to this material.

To answer Steve Milliet, and I've had only limited use with mine, but I've found that it helps A LOT with plunge cuts (nice sharp and straight). Also, I've used it for flattening/tapering, and it doesn't transfer heat like a metal platen.

And mine is attached with two ton epoxy gell.

Yes, it just sticks to the original platen. That was the original intent, to make a platen *liner* that was more durable than any other known to me. The other benefits were just pleasant surprises.

Steve,

have you been following the thread on hollowgrinding on the platen? I was wondering if there is a way to form the liners to what ever radius someone need :confused:

Mike

I'm been looking into that, and have been working on it quite a bit in the last few weeks. Right now I'm looking at several different materials and am narrowing down options. I hope to be making an offering very soon.
Depending on the outcome of my research, we may e able to offer a variety of diameter', but may have to just have some somewhat 'standard' sizes available.

What diameter wheel would most be interested in?
