WMW Werko SWB 4 Drill Grinder 0.3-4mm - YouTube
 
Nice little machine. Reminds me of the sort of thing my optometrist uses. Having the drill holder rock back so the point immediately falls under the microscope for inspection is nice.

I like the long drill holders, each with their own dedicated collet and drawbar. That seems like a pretty civilized way to manage small diameter drills.
 
Neat. The collet only grips the chucking end of the drill, and the cutting end is supported by fingers that pinch with a sort of flexure spring. Very unique. I would imagine that this grinder is a very rare bird.
