Hand Operated Levigator 11 in.

Achieve a Perfectly Level Lithographic Stone with the Takach 11" Levigator

The Takach 11-inch Hand Operated Levigator is the essential tool for any printmaker serious about lithography. Precision-engineered for durability and ease of use, this levigator is designed to grain your litho stones to a perfect, even finish every time.

Engineered for Even Wear and Longevity Unlike inferior grainers, the Takach Levigator features two bosses welded to the top side of the 1-inch thick plate. These secure a free-rotating handle and a specialized counterweight. This design ensures that the contact surface wears evenly, preventing the tool from becoming "domed" or "hollowed" over time—a common issue that can ruin stone preparation.

Professional Build Quality

• Rust Prevention: The handle shaft and internal parts are crafted from high-quality stainless steel.

• Durable Finish: Non-graining surfaces are protected with a premium powder coating.

• Dimensions: 11-inch diameter, 1-inch thick solid plate for the ideal weight-to-friction ratio.

 

Pro-Tip for Maintenance: While the powder coating and stainless steel components are rust-resistant, the graining surface is raw metal to facilitate the grinding process. To ensure the longest life for your tools, always dry the levigator thoroughly after use. Any surface rust that forms between sessions is easily removed during the first few passes of your next graining project.
