Surface grinders are used for various grinding processes including truing flat metal stock, squaring material within tenths, sharpening cutting tools and for sharpening punch and die sets. A surface grinder normally consists of a magnetic chuck, which resembles a table, the grinding wheel that is attached to a rotating spindle, and a few handwheels (if manually operated). The workpiece is placed on the magnetic chuck and the chuck is then activated either by a switch or lever. When the chuck is activated the part is then held firmly to the magnetic chuck. The grinding wheel is then moved down to the top of the workpiece using a handwheel, until the grinding wheel touches the part (carefully), then you can begin moving the table side to side and front to back until the entire surface of the part is ground. If more of the surface needs to be ground, move the table so the grinding wheel is off the workpiece and lower the grinding wheel about 0.0002" to 0.0004" using the tick marks on the handwheel and begin moving the table again, this process can be repeated until the desired dimension is accomplished. Remember to follow all safety rules for surface grinders as these machines can be dangerous if used improperly. Eye protection is a must.

• • • For extra high precision work • • •
• Choose from Table sizes 8 x 16, 16 x 24, 16 x 32 or 18 x 41"
X and Y guideways are Vee and flat for maximum evenness and stability for axes movement as opposed to the standard twin-V guideway design.
• The Automatic Vertical Feed System with Digital readout can be set for plunge or surface grinding. The automatic infeed is infinitely variable. The infeed can be adjusted by a mechanical handwheel at any time.
The roughing infeed is infinitely variable between 0.002 mm (.0008") and 0.025 mm (.001"). The finish rate of infeed is variable to 0.001 mm (.0004") per step. The number of spark-outs can be selected, and the lift-off travel is adjustable.
• When grinding in an automatic cycle the position of the grinding surface is indicated digitally. The amount of wheel dressing can be compensated or the grinding dimension can be corrected during the grinding operation by mean of a push button (+/- 1 micrometer).
• The machine base is well ribbed to provide extreme rigidity and excellent dampening.
• Entire machine is automatically lubricated by a centralized system.
• In intermittent transverse feed, length of the infeed steps can be pre-selected or the infeed rate may be continuous.
• Table longitudinal stroke length is controlled by maintenance-free non-contact switches.

• The precision grinding spindle uses precision angular contact ball bearings sealed for life, requiring no maintenance. This spindle is suitable for the entire range of grinding wheels from bonded ceramic type to diamond grinding wheels.
• Self-contained low pressure hydraulic drive system.
• Centralized control console mounted on articulated arm with all control functions and digital readout of vertical movement.
