Attachments For Lathe

Direct, tool post mounting type, self powered grinding attachment is developed for facilitating quick mounting and dismounting the grinding attachment to the tool post of a lathe, like any other tool holders.

Tool Post grinders are commonly available grinding attachments for the lathe. For mounting conventional tool post grinders, tool post has to be removed and, in its place the tool post grinder has to be mounted with the help of a height block. After the grinding operation, the attachment has to be physically removed for mounting the tool post. This is quite cumbersome & time consuming.

Our tool post mounting type grinding attachments can be mounted directly on the existing square or quick change tool post of a lathe, just like any other tool holder, without the need for removing the tool post. The grinding attachment consists of a standard 2 HP/1440 RPM motor, L shaped holding arrangement and an add-on driven unit. The add-on driven unit supports the drive shaft extension with the help of matched pair angular contact bearings & grinding wheel mounting arrangement. The entire grinding attachment measures 350 mm in length, including the grinding wheel & the motor. The overall height of the attachment is 200 mm. The grinding attachment is suitable for mounting a grinding wheel of Ø250 x 25 mm width maximum.

This attachment is most ideal for heavy duty lathes and for intermittent OD grinding applications.
