Re: Surface grinder on Ebay


Item 290108359039

Isn't it a tad unusual to have the grinding wheel axis of rotation
perpendicular to the table on a surface grinder? (Unless it is
intended to grind vertical surfaces, that is...)

Regards,
Tony


Relatively common actually Tony, fitted with a cup wheel. Quite often
on this type of grinder the grinding head swings round instead of the
job being passed under it. More useful for large flat areas, as
obviously it covers more area at a time than a more traditional type
of surface grinder.
