Description
Effortlessly maintain, prepare, and grain your lithographic stones with the official Takach Press 8 in. Levigator Counterweight. Designed specifically for hand-operated steel levigators, this solid steel counterweight adds essential downward pressure to your levigating process, dramatically reducing arm fatigue while speeding up stone graining.
Crafted from heavy-duty steel, the counterweight mounts securely onto the levigator boss. Alternating the position of the counterweight and the PVC handle across the two welded bosses ensures even wear across the contact surface of your levigator, vastly extending the working life of your tool. Whether you are a beginner setting up your first print studio or a master printmaker processing high-volume stone runs, this precision-machined accessory delivers consistent, level results every time.
Key Features & Maintenance Steps:
-
Enhanced Downward Pressure: Adds extra mass to smooth out grinding, reducing physical strain during long stone-graining sessions.
-
Extends Tool Longevity: Alternating the counterweight and handle positions counteracts uneven wear on the 1 inch steel plate contact surface.
-
Easy Maintenance: Quick disassembly using a standard 15/16 in. wrench for the retaining nut/washer and a 5/32 in. Allen wrench for the 5/16 in. set screws.
-
Precision Fit: Built in the USA to align seamlessly with the flat areas on the threaded counterweight shaft and stainless steel handle shaft.
