What Are Dynafile Abrasive Belt Tools?

Dynafile Abrasive Belt Tools are pneumatic abrasive belt tools that replace traditional hand-filing and grinding methods with fast, efficient belt-driven power. These tools utilize abrasive belts in various sizes and grit types to tackle surface conditioning tasks with speed and consistency, especially in tight or awkward spaces where other grinders or sanders may not reach.

Dynafile Lineup: Dynafile Models and Their Best Uses

Dynafile (Original): The classic Dynafile is designed for grinding, deburring, and surface finishing in confined areas. It uses a 1/2" or 1/4" wide x 24" long abrasive belt and includes a contact arm that allows precise control over pressure and angle in areas as small as 3/8" (10mm).
Best for: General-purpose surface finishing, metal deburring, tool and die maintenance.

Dynafile II: The Dynafile II features a more powerful motor and improved ergonomics over the original Dynafile. It offers quick belt tracking, a tool-less contact arm change, and better access to tight spaces with a 7° offset handle. 360° pivoting grinding head configuration provides maximum efficiency and security while in use.
Best for: Heavy-duty applications, weld removal, aerospace components, and stainless steel finishing.

Dynafile III: The Dynafile III combines the versatility of the Dynafile II with a dual-speed motor, giving users control for both high-speed grinding and slower, controlled polishing. The increased power of the Dynafile III allows for quicker material removal
Best for: Applications requiring speed variability, including heat-sensitive materials and final surface blending.

Mini-Dynafile II: With its compact design, the Mini-Dynafile II is ideal for ultra-precise work and fits easily into narrow or recessed areas. It operates with smaller belts (1/8", 1/4", or 1/2" W, 12” L).
Best for: Tight-spot deburring, die maintenance, micro-weld finishing, intricate surface preparation, and grinding and finishing applications on edges or grooves or within corners.

Dynangle: The Dynangle offers a unique angled head design and powerful straight-line operation for aggressive material removal and heavy-duty grinding.
Best for: Beveling, weld grinding, and surface prep on structural components and fabricated assemblies. Can also be used for blending radiuses and adding grain to stainless steel sinks.

Dynabelter: Ideal for larger surfaces, the Dynabelter is designed for rapid stock removal and heavy grinding with wider belts (1”-2" W x 30" L). It’s often used for preparing flat or slightly curved surfaces in industrial environments.
Best for: Belt sanding of large workpieces, tank fabrication, and sheet metal finishing. Ideal for work on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, wood, plastic, stone and composites.
