The Mareko Deep Platen is a combination of a flat platen, 4” contact wheel, and slack belt attachment. It was designed by knifemaker Mareko Maumasi to provide maximum value and efficiency as it minimizes tool changes. The extra depth allows the user to work both sides of the platen without the tool arm interfering with the work. This is particularly important when removing stock and when contouring handles. This platen is a great alternative and cost reduction to having a dedicated flat platen and a contact wheel. Includes 4" rubber contact wheel, 2" aluminum contact wheel, and tooling arm. Bolt Together Kit or Powder Coated & Assembled Bolt Together Kit: The kit arrives as an unassembled unpainted kit. You can finish the steel however you would like. Powder Coated and Assembled: This option arrives powder coated blue and 98% assembled. Tool arm will have to be attached to the D Plate bolts (already in place). Use assembly instructions here.
