Ever since watching Stefan Gotteswinter's video on his Knuth KSW I've been interested in getting a similar machine, however, Knuth seems to be a totally unknown entity, and outside that one machine, I've not been able to find any common naming conventions to compare machines.
Obviously, they all go in the class of Universal tool and cutter grinders, but there are many formats of T&C grinders that appear to operate quite differently, some being more "universal" than others.
Here's the list I have so far:
- Knuth KSW
- Rutland 25563650 - looks like the KSW, can't quite tell if it is the same size.
- many chinese variants with models like 6025Q - (Search Universal Cutter Tool Grinder on Alibaba)
- A jeffery JF-250 which seems similar, but maybe a bit bigger
I guess what I'm wondering is: is there a western-made "reference machine" that all of these copied? Is there a standard one in this size class that I am more likely to find used?
I've seen plenty of Cincinnati # 2 grinders, but those are obviously much much larger.
Thanks!
