I love ID grinders. Not combo machines, dedicated internal grinders. You can put the hole exactly where you want it, size control is more positive, interruptions like keyways and splines are no problem, surface finish is more controllable, they are very hand-friendly to run, it's just really nice.Assuming the work envelope matches, if one had a high quality cylindrical grinder such as a Studer S20 with both OD and ID setup, is this machine capable of doing most if not everything a honing machine can do?
Sorry, but that's silly. A high-production grinder is not sensible for short-run or onesy-twosey use. It's just dumb.The Studer S20 I'm considering will have coolant as well as automatic grind cycles, roundness claim for grinding operations (with live spindle) of 0.000012" (and optionally 0.000008").

Get a decent Landis 1R and save about fifty thousand dollars.
btw, those numbers are meaningless for you. You're never going to be doing work that requires that, and if you did you won't have tools to measure it.
People get way too carried away on specs.

Given my space contraints thinking maybe going with cylindrical grinder and using a combination of manual lapping and/or honing adapter attached to mill or lathe.
