My situation: very small shop, want to minimize number of machines and do as much multi-purposing as possible. Not production so willing to trade human time versus machine time. I'm committed to buying a surface grinder. I'm now pondering whether to also purchase a T&C grinder...one candidate being a cuttermaster given its small footprint.
QUESTION: is there anything a T&C Grinder can do that a Surface Grinder CANNOT do (p.s. I'm more than willing to buy whatever required accessories for the surface grinder) ? If so, what operations are these that cannot be done on the surface grinder?
