Hi All,
I'm looking to buy a CNC OD/ID grinder in order to do low stress grinding of a relatively small part we do numerous times. This is a small shaft maybe 5in long and 0.6 down to 0.25in diam at the center. The center part is the location of interest... we want to low stress grind that reduced section with the least material disturbance and best-est surface finish possible. for example a 0.75in long section with 0.5 in radius leading in and out.
Any recommendations? Budget is 80-120k, i'd consider used or new (and could spend less without a problem), and would be most interested in something that can have a gauge or probe on it. ID grinding needs to come eventually but could be opted out.
Is it feasible to do this little hourglass section with a classic universal grinder using some automatic cycle? We really are looking to cut labor out of the picture as much as possible however.
Thanks!
