Tool Post Belt Grinding Machines

Power Master Tool Post Belt Grinding Machines are specially designed for mounting on the saddles of medium or heavy duty lathes and are most useful for grinding and polishing between centres of all types of shafts and cylindrical components such as rubber rollers, engraved printing and metal printing rollers, stainless calender rollers, MG cylinders for paper mills, chromium plated rods and various other applications. The machine comprises a totally enclosed fan cooled electric drive of suitable horsepower specially designed to receive belt grinding arm on it. Contact wheel is also mounted on the shaft extension of the drive. The arm is suitable for standard sizes of abrasive belts and can be rotated at all angles with respect to the drive. This facilitates the adjustment of belt angle with respect to the job. Belt tensioning is done by means of a telescopic spring whereas a hand wheel is used for tracking. For intense stock removal, the tool post belt grinder should be mounted on the tool post in such a way that the abrasive belt is pressed over the contact wheel against the workpiece. The contact wheel to be used should be medium or hard and serrated with belts of rough grits. For very light material removal either a soft contact wheel may be used or finishing may be done on the slack of belt and belts of fine grits are to be used.
