The Downland Bench Trimmer is a powerful tool with an adjustable height pneumatic motor driving a 150mm diameter diamond wheel. The wheel guard is spring loaded for safety and has a dust take-off point for easy connection to an extraction system. The operator controls the cutter by a safety foot switch. The Downland Bench Trimmer is intended for trimming applications where large quantities of mouldings have to be trimmed to a consistent height in a single plane. The moulding to be trimmed is placed in a fixture (a mould with 4 adjustable feet) and placed on a smooth surface where it can be passed across the horizontal diamond cutting wheel which must be preset to the desired height. Bench trimming in this way will produce a perfectly straight cut and is considerably faster than following a line by hand.
