Made from3/8″ THICK STAINLESS STEEL, this grinder’s frame is built for strength, rigidity, and corrosion resistance. With a larger footprint than previous models, the Tours 2×72 now utilizes the same robust 3/8″ thick stainless steel base and motor plate that is used on the 3×79. The larger base ultimately reduces flex on your work surface, making sure you have the stability you need for every project.
