Grinding

Surface cylindrical centreless and tool grinding machines for finishing operations after turning and milling.

The Problem

What This Category Is Really For

Grinding is where the tolerance and the finish actually get made. A shop with good turning and milling but no grinding capacity has to send every hardened or close-tolerance part out, and then waits on someone else's schedule for the last operation before assembly.

  • Surface cylindrical centreless and tool grinders in one range
  • Sizes from small bench surface grinders up to large surface grinding machines
  • Centreless grinding for high-volume round parts without individual setup
  • Universal cutter and tool grinders for regrinding shop tooling in-house

FAQ

Grinding Questions

Surface grinder or cylindrical grinder?

Surface grinders finish flat faces. Cylindrical grinders finish round diameters. Most shops end up needing both, and usually buy the one their current reject rate points to first.

When does centreless grinding make sense?

When you are grinding the same round part in quantity. It removes the per-part setup that makes cylindrical grinding slow at volume.

Can I regrind my own tooling?

That is what the universal cutter and tool grinder is for. It usually pays for itself on cutter costs in a shop that runs a lot of milling.
