Toolpost grinding with PD 230/E and PD 400 lathes

by proxxonworld | Thu, 10/01/2009 - 13:29

When you want to reduce a shaft diameter within very close tolerances, toolpost grinding is often the best way. Your Proxxon lathe now has an available holder 24098 which holds the 28481 and 28485 grinders parallel to the lathe long axis. With this sturdy holder mounted in the toolpost and a suitable grinding wheel mounted in the 28481 or 28485, you can perform amazingly accurate and well-finished cylindrical grinding.
