Used & Second Hand Cylindrical Grinding Machines for Sale

Used cylindrical grinders are precision machine tools designed to remove material from rotating workpieces using abrasive grinding wheels, achieving tight tolerances and fine surface finishes. Buyers evaluating these machines should consider build years ranging from 1974 to 1998, alongside prominent brands such as Jones & Shipman, Cincinnati, and Shigiya available in universal, external, internal, and centerless configurations.

Cylindrical grinders shape the outside or inside diameters of shafts, spindles, sleeves, and other rotationally symmetrical parts. Configurations range from universal models for versatile toolroom work to dedicated external, internal, and centerless variants for production lines. Key specifications that separate machines include swing over bed, maximum grinding length, wheelhead swivel capabilities, spindle speed ranges, and whether the machine operates manually or via CNC controls like Fanuc.

When assessing a used cylindrical grinder, inspect the workhead and tailstock alignment for wear, check the wheel spindle bearings for radial play or runout, and examine the hydraulic table traverse for smooth reversal without surging. Verify the condition of the way lubrication system and check lead screws for backlash. Ensure the swing capacity, distance between centers, and internal quill reach match your typical workpiece dimensions.

The current inventory features a diverse selection of external, internal, universal, and centerless units, including rare production grinders and Fanuc-controlled CNC options. Brands represented include Jones & Shipman, Cincinnati, Shigiya, Landis, HEALD, Tripet, Churchill, and Karstens, with production years spanning from 1974 to 1998.
