Good day. we are looking at a production job of molding 70A urethane on some aluminum hubs about 10 inches in diameter and a face width of 1.5 inches. The concentricity requirements force us to grind the tire O.D. The volume is too much to handle on an engine lathe with a tool post grinder. Would this be the best machine tool to buy to handle this work? I was thinking of a fixture in the chuck with a quick acting knob for mounting/dismounting the parts quickly. I have zero experience with this type of machine that is why I am asking. Are there ones to avoid and ones that are better to get? Thanks
