Universal Tool & Cutter Grinder

Tool and cutter grinder for sharpening and maintaining specialized industrial cutting tools and milling cutters.

Tool and cutter grinder for sharpening and maintaining specialized industrial cutting tools and milling cutters

Typical Applications

  • Toolrooms and maintenance workshops where a variety of cutting tools are periodically reground by trained operators.

  • Regrinding of drills, milling cutters, reamers, and special tools in steel, cement, and power plant maintenance shops.

  • Toolroom usage in ordnance factories and defence engineering units.

  • Railway workshops for reconditioning of drills, milling cutters, and form tools.

  • This machine is typically used for low-volume, high-variety tool reconditioning, not production grinding.

Machine Description
  • • The Universal Tool & Cutter Grinder is a manually operated grinding machine used for sharpening and reconditioning a wide range of cutting tools through attachments.
  • • Rigid wheel head and work head with full swivelling capability, allowing grinding at different angles and compound geometries.
  • • Manual precision movements in longitudinal, cross, and vertical axes for controlled tool sharpening and form grinding.
  • • Swivelling table and wheel head arrangement supporting cylindrical, face, and form grinding when suitably equipped.
  • • Modular design where the machine’s usable capability depends on the attachments selected rather than the base machine alone.

Accessories & Attachments

  • • Tool Geometry Grinding: Radius grinding attachment, flute / hob grinding attachment (Grinding radii, ball-nose cutters, and helical flutes).
  • • Cylindrical & Internal Grinding: External / internal cylindrical attachment, precision spindle (Grinding external diameters and internal bores).
  • • Standard Tool Sharpening: Face milling cutter attachment, drill point & tap attachment (Sharpening face mills, drills, and taps).
  • • Work holding & Setup: Indexing attachment, collets, magnetic chuck, 3-way vice (Accurate positioning and holding of tools).
  • • Dressing & Auxiliary: Radius / angular dresser, wheel balancer, dust collector, coolant unit (Wheel maintenance and shop-floor support).

Configuration Notes

  • 1. The Universal Tool & Cutter Grinder is a highly accessory-dependent machine.
  • 2. Attachment selection depends on the tools to be sharpened and the operator’s method of work.
  • 3. Detailed specifications and pricing are finalised during technical consultation.
