The company I work for is considering purchasing a used Thru Feed grinder.

I've only seen one on you-tube and it didn't show alot.

I was hoping to find someone who has actually set up, serviced and run one of these things.

Thanks in advance.
 
You might state for round or flat work..I don't know much about them.
likely as with any grinder condition is king..and to consider a prospect used machine it may be good to see it running.

You might even put out feelers for a through feed grinder hand. *looking for seasoned guy/Gal perhaps for a few months or longer or shorter..good pay to show us the ropes..likely a lot of handy tricks that avoit problems and scrap.

Which machine? What being ground?
Bucks link #2 is a thru feed grinder. Flat parts so different.
Gardner, Belsly, and the German made ones oh my. Vertical or horizontal?
Bob

Don't know which machine yet.

I'm thinking horizontal, But
I could be wrong on that.

We're grinding glass and steel sealed pieces held in pre made fixturing.
 
After looking at the vids, we're definitely NOT needing a centerless grinder.

The flat one is more the speed we're looking at. But the one in the vid is pretty small for our fixturing.

Thanks for the responses.
