I'm interested in purchasing a used OD/ID Universal Grinder.

What is the best?
 
I don't expect to pay more than $10,000 for toolroom use.
Size, for doing what, size and tolerance would talk but this price tag says so much more.
New makes no sense so used is the guess and if you are buying used grinders in this world... pick and pray.
OD universal one thing, add decent ID...... that a new animal needed.
For new I would expect to spend 100K and way up for any respectable size.
What do you need to do with it and why buying it?

OD, ID, both? size minimum - max?

Might add brown & sharpe and Parker to the above list and TOYODA is decent...
Okuma I.D./O.D. Grinder - tools - by dealer - sale

Nice small machine..mostly for one -ups and the like. (hand with power long travel)
No. 13 Brown & Sharp Universal and Tool Grinder - tools - by dealer...

another small few -up machine.
Parker Majestic I.D./ O.D. Grinder - tools - by dealer - sale

Rebuilt in 1017... $99k
Used TOYODA GL4E CNC UNIVERSAL GRINDER for sale - 112824

More modern machines have bump and tarry..can be a good feature.

Condition is king in grinders. Grinding is tough with a good machine, and a bugger with a poor one.

Hey Bob,
A maximum diameter capacity of 12-14", and definitely a ID spindle, not very long 24" working length is all I need. I need to hold +/-.0001 on diameter.
