HANDLER Model 76 Bench-Top Polishing Station — Ships as Current-Production 76D-3

Single-position polisher with #26A Red Wing lathe and integrated 365 CFM dust collection

Important Substitution Notice

The legacy HANDLER Model 76 has been discontinued by the factory. Orders for SKU 76 are fulfilled with the current-production Model 76D-3 Bench-Top Polishing Unit with #26A Red Wing Lathe — same HANDLER quality, updated single-station design with integrated dust collection.

HANDLER Manufacturing has been a family-owned American maker of dental laboratory equipment since 1920. The 76-Series Polishing Units combine reliable Polishing motors with integrated dust collection in a single rugged baked-enamel bench-top cabinet. The 76D-3 combines a single-station Polishing position with the proven #26A Red Wing Polishing lathe and 365 CFM integrated dust collection in one rugged, baked-enamel bench-top cabinet.

What Makes This Unique

The 76D-3 is the bench-top standard for dental and jewelry labs that want Polishing capability plus dust capture in one unit. The legacy Model 76 was a 2-station unit with motor; HANDLER replaced it in production with the 76D-3 single-station configuration that pairs the proven #26A Red Wing lathe with integrated 365 CFM dust collection. Same HANDLER quality, simpler footprint, single power cord.

💡 Selling Tips for Sales Team

• Set expectations on the model swap up front. Tell the customer: legacy 76 orders ship as 76D-3, the current-production replacement. Same HANDLER quality, refreshed single-station design.
• Sell the "all-in-one" story. A Polishing motor + dust collector + splash hood as three separate pieces costs more, takes more bench space, and has three power cords. The 76D-3 solves all of that.
• Position vs. 76M: 76M is the 2-station bench-top polisher (rough on one side, finish on the other). 76D-3 is the single-station with lathe + dust collection.
• HANDLER since 1920. Customers shopping on price often don't realize HANDLER is a century-old US manufacturer.
• Cross-sell: 76D-F replacement filters, HANDLER buffing wheels, splash shields.
• Warn on application. Not for gypsum or ALO dust. If the lab is trimming stone models, sell them a model trimmer or 60U-series dust unit instead.

Works with standard tapered-spindle buffing wheels, Polishing wheels, lab brushes, and felt polishers. Filters available as HANDLER part #76D-F (10″ × 12″ × 2″ replacement filter).
