Cylindrical Grinder Recommendation

[Dave Ball]

I'm soliticing recommendations for a cyclindrical grinder, what would you recommend for grinding shafts with 3 or 4 diameters no larger than 1" x 6" long.

CNC or manual?

[Dave Ball]

Guess I should have added CNC

I would look at Studer. We have some Okamotos that are decent, not sure they have smaller machine.

We have two lines here that we sell. The first is Okuma. They are very reliable and very high precision. They are better suited for high production work. The other line we have is Kellenberger. They are very flexible and work well for odd shapes and custom work. Toyoda also make a good grinder but since we don't sell those you didn't hear it from me.

Kellenberger impressed me when we had them in for a chat; probably would've cut them a $300K PO if the job hadn't disappeared.

We dont have any in house but I was looking a little while back. Kellenberger and Studer are both top end machines but were way more then we needed. The griding shop I subbed my work out to told me to look at Supertec. He had a couple of them and told me they were more then adequate machines for the type of work we had and about 1/4 the price.

Just got a email for some refurbished okamoto's. They are in Chicago. They rebuild grinders, and sell new used ones.
