Swanson Pro-Style 2" x 42" Radius Platen

Swanson Pro-Style 2" x 42" Radius Platen

Named after District Cutlery co-founder and lead sharpener, Ryan Swanson, our radius platen is a hybrid design made to fit on most 2"x42" belt grinder platens. The bottom half replicates a 36" grinding wheel to dial in those crisp shinogis, while the top is flat for blending Western style knives after thinning. Internal magnets help keep it firmly in place. 

***PLEASE MEASURE YOUR EQUIPMENT BEFORE PURCHASING***

Each platen measures approximately 2" wide by 7" long. The attached clip can fit onto any support less than 4mm in thickness. This combination fits and is primarily designed for, most 2" x 42" grinders, though we cannot guarantee it will fot your 1" x 30", 2" x 42", etc.

Click here if you're looking for our platen made specifically for the Grizzly 2" x 42" T32459Z Knife making belt sander.

Your Swanson Pro-Style platen will arrive pre-installed with 1/8" high density foam and graphite tape, just as we do at the shop. These are easy to replace when needed.

If you're looking to really improve your thinning and sharpening skills, this platen will up your game to the next level.
