Add-Ons

Accessories

Adjustable Tool Post — D-57

The D-57 Adjustable Tool Post allows operators to fine tune their cutting blades to precisely the right position for the most accurate weld prep profiles when using the Commander, Dictator, and Dictator II MILLHOG machines.

Blade Block — D-52

The Dictator MILLHOG cutterhead has 3 positions to mount blade blocks so that multiple angles of bevel can be performed at once. Both the basic and complete kits come with 2 blade blocks, but additional blade blocks can be purchased separately.

Safety Spring Hanger — CD-SH

The Commander/Dictator Safety Spring Hanger is designed to safely support the weight of the tool, while allowing for slight up and down movement to make mounting easier.

Torque Multiplier Gear Box — CD-GB

The Torque Multiplier Gear Box fits both the Commander and Dictator and is designed to be easily installed with all motor options. When the Gear Box is attached, the cutterhead rpm is cut in half while torque is doubled.

Right Angle Drive — CD-RA

The Right Angle Drive easily attaches to the Commander or Dictator housing so that the motor can be mounted to the side of the tool, rather than straight.
