Grinding Attachment For Planers

It is possible to add slide-way grinding capabilities to the planer by mounting a cup wheel grinding attachment on the clapper box of the tool post. The existing tool post traverse mechanism is used for setting the depth of cut. Alternatively, grinding heads are also offered with graduated collar enabled manual quill movement for fine depth of cut setting (least count: 0.05 mm per div). The same grinding attachment, when tilted to LH or RH 90°, can be used for peripheral grinding application. Existing LH/RH tilting mechanism of the tool post is to used for the grinding head also. SKF/RHP angular contact, matched pair bearings are used for high spindle accuracy.
