Pencil grinder reduces vibration risks
Master Abrasives has introduced the new ZIPP Air Tools micro die grinder range to the UK, also known as pencil grinders.
The ZIPP pencil grinders prove to have extremely low vibration results in real use test conditions, offering an affordable solution to companies trying to reduce the risk of Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) in the workplace.
The new ZIPP pencil grinders have a high speed air motor and a twist throttle offering variable speed control up to 60,000RPM. Its alloy steel made cylinder gives it durability and the high grade ball bearings used provide a smooth low vibration operation.
Master Tool Services has carried out structured ‘real use’ Hand Arm Vibration [HAV] tests on the new ZIPP pencil grinder model ZPD212 with a range of MASTER mounted Points and MASTER carbide burrs. The results of these tests showed that the ZIPP tool’s vibration levels were considerably lower than those of two other well-known brands equivalents which were used for comparison in the tests.
