Conrad 8" Levigator for Lithography Stones

The Conrad Litho Stone Levigator is an essential tool for lithography printmakers, designed to restore your litho stones to pristine, flat perfection. In the lithography process, precision is everything. Over time, litho stones develop uneven surfaces and imperfections that can compromise the quality of your prints. Or sometimes, you just need to remove an old image.

A hand-operated levigator is the traditional and most effective way to grind down and resurface these stones, ensuring an even, flawless surface for clean and precise printing. Having a professional, high-quality levigator in your studio is crucial for maintaining the integrity of your work.

The Conrad Litho Stone Levigator is engineered for durability and performance. Crafted from thick, 1.6-inch steel that’s precisely ground flat, it delivers exceptional accuracy in stone leveling. Five strategically placed port holes allow for even slurry application, ensuring uniform grinding across the entire stone surface. The large, ergonomic handle gives you a smooth, comfortable operation, even during extended use. For added versatility and longevity, the handle can be repositioned to balance wear on the levigator, ensuring years of consistent performance.

An 8" levigator is the perfect size for smaller lithography stones, offering an ideal balance of control and efficiency. Smaller stones require a levigator that is easy to maneuver while still providing enough surface area to evenly grind and smooth the stone. An oversized levigator can be cumbersome to handle on compact stones, leading to uneven pressure and potentially inconsistent results.

The 8" levigator is lightweight enough for precise operation but robust enough to efficiently resurface smaller stones without overextending your effort. Its size ensures that you can evenly distribute pressure across the stone’s surface, preventing dips or irregularities. This makes it particularly well-suited for detailed work or studios where smaller stones are frequently used.

With its manageable dimensions, the 8" levigator also allows for greater precision in shaping edges and corners—critical areas that often require extra attention during resurfacing. Its compact size doesn’t compromise performance, offering the same professional-grade quality and reliability as larger models, but in a size optimized for smaller-scale work.

For printmakers focused on smaller litho stones, the 8" Conrad Litho Stone Levigator is a practical, efficient, and precise tool that enhances the ease and accuracy of your stone preparation process.

Investing in the Conrad Litho Stone Levigator means investing in the quality of your prints. Its robust construction and precision engineering make it an indispensable tool for any serious lithography studio. Don’t let uneven or used stones limit your creative potential—elevate your printmaking process with the Conrad Litho Stone Levigator.
