Chevalier FSG-818SP Surface Grinder Highlights
- Linear Ball Bearing Table: The table traverses on linear ball bearings and hardened D2 (SKD11) ground guideways for smooth, accurate movement.
- Turcite-B Hand-Scraped Slideways: Machine-base slideways are laminated with Turcite-B and hand-scraped, with an automatic intermittent lubrication system for high accuracy and longer slideway life.
- Cartridge-Type Spindle: Four Class 7 (P4) super-precision angular contact ball bearings are preloaded and assembled for grinding accuracy and surface finish.
- Wider 8.7" Grinding Width: The 8" x 18.9" table and 8.7" maximum grinding width handle wider workpieces than the 6" models, with a 551 lb. maximum table load.
- Waist-Level Vertical Handwheel: The ergonomically designed vertical handwheel is at waist level, with an elevating micro-feed device for fine vertical feeds.
