Product Features
A surface grinder allows you to smooth the surface of
metallic work pieces, utilizing a semi-automatic table that
moves on a horizontal plane and a grinding wheel that
moves along a vertical axis. By mounting a work piece to
the table with a magnetic chuck, then moving the table
and the grinding wheel during the grinding process,
extremely small amounts of material can be removed to
create high-tolerance flat surfaces.
The PSG 612 is equipped with easy-to-reach front-mounted
handwheels for controlling table movement to position the
wheel manually.
The table travels in the longitudinal direction (X) on a
hydrodynamic (oil film) slideways table, driven by a rack-
and-pinion mechanism. Vertical (Z) travel is driven by a
manually-operated leadscrew with a counterweight for
controlled positioning. Crossfeed travel (Y) is driven by a
leadscrew. Both X and Y are automatic and can also be
positioned manually.
The stand doubles as a storage cabinet where you can keep
the necessary tools and extra grinding wheels right where
you need them.
