Enco and MSC both sell one that looks very similar.
I'm a hobbyist machinist. Some time ago I began building my own tool and cutter grinder. My idea was to use two commercial cross slide tables, a home built spindle, etc.
That all stopped when I stumbled upon a "universal tool and cutter grinder". It's nearly new but had some corrosion problems. I've taken it all apart and I'm in the process of painting and re-assembling.
This machine has no identification on it but I assume its origin is China.
I'm interested in finding whatever I can about the machine. Although I'm familiar with tool grinding techniques I'd love to find a manual for this configuration machine. I assume there must be an accessory used for grinding radius's. ( ball mills, radius lathe bits). I'd like to see a picture or plan for that piece.
Hope someone can keep me from learning the slow way.
Many thanks in advance,
Ozzie

It still needs some work (and a better wheel), but the results on HSS bits aren't too bad.
I have a T&C grinder similar to the one shown in your photos. Is yours single phase or three phase?
I have found a similar one which shows pics of all the attachments

Since I'm just a home machinist I wish it had come with a manual on how to set it up and use it.......although I don't have an attachment for regrinding end mill cutters......Kiwi
