What’s New in 2024 for the BA Shredder

The D-plate has been upgraded from a 1/4″ thick to a 1/2″ steel plate that is now drilled and tapped. This significant change increases rigidity and reduces the amount of hardware needed to complete your build.
The motor plate/primary datum plate has transitioned from 3/16″ thick to 3/8″ thick, doubling its strength and rigidity. This reduction in vibration enhances the overall grinding experience.
The tracking system has taken a massive leap forward with this new updated design.
- The improved tracking system features comfort grip ergonomic knobs, eliminating any slop in the forward-facing adjustment knob and making it much more responsive.
- The steel tubing has been replaced with a massive 1/2″ thick steel arm, featuring the largest hinge on the market. This provides unparalleled rigidity and consistent tracking.
- The handle has been moved back 10″, allowing for much more room for slack belt grinding.
All other frame components have been thickened from 3/16″ to 1/4″ thick, increasing the rigidity of the entire grinder.
The size of the main body has been shortened, providing more room for tooling arms.
We now handle all the machining for you; there’s no longer a need to drill and tap any of the parts.
A 4″ smooth rubber contact wheel now comes standard in the base kit.
