Gentlemen, I was consdering a cylindrical grinder but then realized a tool and cutter grinder would give me the same and more, so after a bit of research I settled on what I think I want:
I wish to purchase a Cincinnati-Milicron (model MT) #2 Universal (not Plain) Tool and Cutter Grinder with some or all of the following attachments:
- Tilting head (Pretty sure I want this, but perhaps you can convince me otherwise)
- As many of the original little tools (index finger, fixed/retractable ends, etc.) as possible
- Universal Working Head for grinding endmills, etc.
- Indexing attachment for grinding endmills, reamers, shell mills, chamfer mills, etc. (same as universal head?)
- Cylindrical grinding attachment (i.e. the motor-driven attachment that can take 3- and 4-jaw chucks)
- Radius attachment for milling ball end mills, radius cutters, lolliops, whatever.
- Internal Grinding attachment
- Will consider other attachments such as, for example, sharpening saws
- Bonus: Mechanically driven table
Disclosure #1: I don't know the difference between the plain and unversal except the universal probably has the tilting head and "universal" workhead, and possibly more attachments. Correct me if I've missed something or incorrectly included something.
Disclosure #2: Perhaps I might consider other types of machines? I don't know what all out there is comparable to a Cincinnati #2, so enlighten me.
You should be located within a few hours' drive of Toronto. Quebec is probably too far unless your machine is evidently in good condition and warrants no inspection. Local is preferred, but driving is not out of the question. If the border were open, I'd drive as far as Rochester, NY. Maybe further. I've gone as far as CT.
If your machine has issues, please be upfront about them - I am willing to fix a machine that needs TLC.
