Hands Free Lathe Polishing Tool
$1,579.00 - $5,507.11
Made in the USA!
Safety Summary:
Hand-polishing on a lathe exposes operators to serious hazards — fingers, gloves, or clothing can easily become entangled in rotating parts. This lathe-mounted abrasive belt tool eliminates that risk by removing the operator’s hands from the danger zone. The unit mounts securely on ½” , ¾” , or 1″ tool posts, and a handwheel advances the belt in a controlled manner, preventing glazing while keeping fresh abrasive against the workpiece. Belt tension is maintained automatically with a gas shock, and precision bearings ensure smooth, reliable operation. Designed and built in the USA, this tool improves both operator safety and overall process efficiency.

Hands Free Lathe Polishing Tool
Precision finishing with built-in operator safety.
This lathe-mounted abrasive belt tool is engineered to mount securely on a ½”, ¾”, or 1” tool post, providing a controlled and repeatable polishing solution. Unlike traditional hand-polishing—where an operator’s fingers are dangerously close to rotating parts—this tool keeps hands clear of the work zone, dramatically reducing the risk of entanglement or injury.
The tool is designed for standard 1″ x 30″ abrasive belts, making replacements easy and cost-effective. The integrated handwheel allows the operator to steadily advance the belt, preventing glazing and ensuring fresh abrasive is always against the workpiece. This not only delivers consistent finishes but also extends belt life. A gas shock maintains constant belt tension, while precision-bearing idler rollers guarantee smooth, efficient operation.
Key Benefits:
- Enhanced Safety – Eliminates the risk of fingers getting caught during hand-held polishing.
- Controlled Belt Progression – Handwheel feed keeps abrasive fresh, prevents glazing.
- Extended Belt Life – Maximizes productivity and reduces consumable costs.
- Tool Holder Options – 1/2″, 3/4″, or 1″ tool posts holders
- Consistent Tension – Gas shock system maintains proper belt alignment and pressure.
- Precision Operation – Bearings on all idler rollers for smooth, low-friction performance.
- Standard Belt Size – Uses 1″ x 30″ belts for easy sourcing and quick changes.
- Belt Feed – The hand crank allows you to feed the belt to eliminate heat buildup and belt wear.
- American Made – Designed, manufactured, and assembled in the USA.
This tool allows operators to achieve a clean, accurate finish—while working safer and smarter.
