The Simplex Grinder is one type of surface grinder that we use here at Punch Tools.
A reciprocating surface grinder is used to create smooth, flat and parallel surfaces on tool and die components.
Also known as precision grinding, this process involves the use of abrasive tools/wheels to remove small amounts of material from a workpiece. It is a highly accurate process that produces parts with tight tolerances and a smooth surface finish.
At Punchtools we use several different size surface grinders:
This surface grinder features a 14” X 27.5” grinding area (35.6 cm x 69.9 cm), a table load capacity of 900 lbs (408.2 Kg), 12” x 2” x 5” grinder wheel size (30.5 cm x 5.1 cm X 12.7 cm), with an equipped 12” x 18” electromagnet chuck (30.5 cm x 71.1 cm), incremental down feed and coolant system.
