Model Forum / General / Models / April 2007Surface grinder on Ebay
Item 290108359039 Isn't it a tad unusual to have the grinding wheel axis of rotation perpendicular to the table on a surface grinder? (Unless it is intended to grind vertical surfaces, that is...) Regards, Tony >Item 290108359039 > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >Regards, >Tony Relatively common actually Tony, fitted with a cup wheel. Quite often on this type of grinder the grinding head swings round instead of the job being passed under it. More useful for large flat areas, as obviously it covers more area at a time than a more traditional type of surface grinder.

Mostly used for resharpening punches. Don't you call that a Blanchard grinder?

Other than that, they are quite similar :-) Mark Rand RTFM >>> More useful for large flat areas, as >>> obviously it covers more area at a time than a more traditional type [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >Mark Rand >RTFM Oh you mean the 'small' Blanchard or Lumsden as we know it here ? . -- Regards, John Stevenson Nottingham, England. Visit the new Model Engineering adverts page at:- http://www.homeworkshop.org.uk/ Tony, Model Engineering Services ie the suppliers of the Quorn and Kennet castings also supplied castings for a small 'Blanchard' type grinder. Actually, mine has a 'fixed' head and the work table works to and fro with a ratchet. This suggests that I should put a new wheel on it and flog it on E-Bay as it is a nice thing to flatten castings prior to machining. I believe that JS has a something similar. Earlier, another correspondent and I tried to get more info as we had identical machines but no drawings or manuals. Interesting tool, though Norm >Oh you mean the 'small' Blanchard or Lumsden as we know it here ? > >. We only use them as T&C grinders :-> Mark Rand RTFM > No, I call a Blanchard Grinder one with the name "Blanchard" cast in to it > that is 4m tall, uses a 1m diameter wheel and a 2m diameter rotary table. <G> Less civilized only see the setup. :-)) Nick |
