Description
Most belt grinder accessories are purpose-built for a single task. The Radius Master Multi Table is different — it’s a multi-application platform designed to support workpieces, mount fixtures, and provide stable grinding references across several stations on the RM-48. The result is a single accessory that earns its place in the workshop by solving multiple problems at once.
The Multi Table mounts to the Radius Master frame and provides a flat, rigid work surface that can be positioned and locked at the angle and height required for your task. Its broad surface area supports longer workpieces — full-length knife blanks, bar stock, and plate — that would otherwise be unsupported during grinding. It also serves as a mounting platform for jigs and fixtures, making it valuable for production knife makers, toolmakers, and anyone who needs to repeat the same grinding operation accurately across multiple parts.
As a workrest, the Multi Table keeps your workpiece at a consistent height and angle relative to the belt, reducing the hand fatigue and technique variation that comes from freehand grinding over extended sessions. For users who find themselves spending time compensating for workpiece drift or re-establishing grinding angles pass after pass, a solid mechanical reference surface like the Multi Table is a significant upgrade in consistency and efficiency.
Key uses include:
- Supporting full-length knife blanks during primary bevel grinding
- Providing a flat reference surface for flat-grind geometry
- Mounting custom jigs and fixtures for repeatable production work
- Supporting bar stock and plate during surface finishing and de-burring
- Workrest for extended grinding sessions to reduce fatigue and improve consistency
- Multi-position setup for sequential operations without repositioning the workpiece
Company Information
The Multi Table is designed and manufactured by NIROC, the Australian company that acquired Radius Master Machinery in 2025 and continues to develop and produce the full Radius Master accessory range from Australia. NIROC’s approach to accessories is shaped by real workshop experience — their lead maker, Corin Urquhart, has over 20 years of daily knifemaking and metal grinding practice, and the accessories NIROC develops are designed to solve problems that working craftspeople actually face. The Multi Table is a NIROC-exclusive product, available directly through NIROC and authorised Radius Master dealers.

Further Information
Why a Fixture Table Changes Your Workflow
There’s a clear difference between grinding freehand and grinding with mechanical support. Freehand technique is flexible and valuable, but for operations that need to be repeated consistently — same bevel angle, same grind height, same finish quality on every blade — mechanical support is what makes the difference between a good craftsperson and a consistent production operation.
The Multi Table gives you that mechanical support without locking you into a single application. By adapting to different positions and configurations, it supports the variety of work that a typical RM-48 owner actually does: sometimes flat grinding, sometimes supporting long blades at the contact wheel, sometimes running a jig for a specific profile.
For Production Knifemakers
If you’re making more than a handful of knives at a time, consistency between pieces is critical — for quality, for reputation, and for your own efficiency. A fixture table that holds your blade at a set height and angle means the 20th bevel of the day looks like the first, regardless of fatigue. The Multi Table is the practical answer to this problem on the Radius Master platform.
Combining with Other Accessories
The Multi Table works independently but pairs particularly well with the Hollow Grinding Jig (RM-HGJ) for blade support during hollow grinding, and with the Platen Table (PT-48) for flat grinding workflows. If you’re building out a complete production setup on the RM-48, the Multi Table is a foundational piece of that system.
