    Our best seller

    Get consistent use of grind gages using the ADM 2 automatic draw-down machine from Little Joe Industries. The ADM 2 is designed to be durable and simple to operate.

    • Designed for use with liquid and paste coatings.
    • Adjustable draw down speeds from one to ten seconds
    • Consistent and accurate scraper force adjustable from 1.75 to 6 kg (3.5 to13 pounds).

    The ADM also makes color comparison draw downs on draw down pads using a scraper. This requires the purchase of a Draw Down Kit [Link].
