Gday all.
I’ve picked up this Universal OD/ID Grinder, and after a good few hours cleaning and getting to know this machine, I’m struggling to find any info on this machine using the manufacturers tag, but all it says is “The Czech Factory of Arms in Prague”
“Factories in Strakonice”
It does have a CZ Logo, on the front of the base above the hydraulic tank sight class, and my research has led me to somewhat learn that CZ was a part of the Skoda branches of factories?
Photos to come of the machine.
I’ve run universal grinders before, and operate roll grinders from time to time at the strip mill I work at, so OD grinding is not new to me, but I’ll be darned if I can find any info on the net about this particular machine, let alone a proper manual, as I want to know what hydraulic and way oils this thing wants, parts diagrams, levelling points etc etc.
A google search of “KUF 250/750” shows a machine that looks just like mine for sale in another country, but that’s all I can find.
Anyone know anything about these machines, or CZ Grinders in general?
It has a Morse taper 4 headstock, Morse 3 tailstock, takes 14” OD wheels.
For the money I paid for it, and the amount of tooling and wheels it came with, I don’t mind a bit of a project to get it running well, and would appreciate any tips and tricks from the more experienced.
Thanks all.
