Face Grinder
The machine that provides:
- Quick setup
- 20 HP for heavy cuts
- Faster production than surface grinders or boring mills
Often referred to as an "end" or "knee" grinder, the 18" Face Grinder from Gallmeyer and Livingston makes squaring bar stock easier and more efficient.
Without this machine, die makers must square their bar stock on either a surface grinder or a boring mill. The Gallmeyer & Livingston Face Grinder is faster due to its greater stock removal capability and quicker setup. Both the saddle and table are fed by hand - keeping setup time to a minimum.
Gallmeyer & Livingston also provides a rebuilding service for older face grinding machines.
Applications
First machining operations, especially for squaring surfaces after cutoff. Typical face grinding jobs include automotive dies, molds for plastics, forging dies, castings, fire brick and ceramic insulators.
Machine Configuration
Knee-type construction. Hand-feed table and saddle motion, as well as vertical adjustment. Wheel mounted directly on motor shaft. Major structural elements all cast iron.
