Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Choose AA482 over AA362 linishing attachment (915 x 50mm belt) when you want the longer 1,220mm belt for larger work pieces; otherwise the two attachments have the same disc and contact wheel sizes. AA482 weighs 6.5kg against 5.4kg for AA362, so check that your grinder and bench can carry it. The 915mm belts for the AA362 are a different length from the 1,220mm belt on AA482. The mitre table suits this attachment.
