Used tool and cutter grinders are precision machines built to restore geometries, clearances, and cutting edges on milling cutters, drills, and lathe tools. Our Nashik inventory features established brands like Jones & Shipman, Elliott, TOS, Hann & Kolb, Stanko, Bora, and EWAG, offering workshop owners reliable options for in-house tool maintenance.
Tool and cutter grinders are utilized to resharpen and reshape end mills, reamers, and specialized tooling, maintaining tight tolerances on cutting edges. Configurations range from universal workshop models with swiveling tables and dividing heads to dedicated drill sharpeners and small tool grinders. Key specifications that separate machines include table travel dimensions, maximum workpiece length between centers, spindle speed ranges, and the availability of internal grinding attachments or specialized work-holding fixtures.
When evaluating a pre-owned tool and cutter grinder, inspect the table ways for scoring or excessive wear, as precision depends entirely on smooth linear travel. Check the workhead and wheelhead spindles for radial runout and bearing play, which directly impact the finish on ground tool faces. Examine the fine-feed mechanisms, indexing heads, and swiveling adjustments to ensure they move without backlash. Verify that the motor, belt drives, and any fitted coolant pumps operate smoothly under power.
Our current inventory includes multiple configurations from prominent builders such as Jones & Shipman, Elliott, TOS, Hann & Kolb, Stanko, Bora, and EWAG, covering everything from general universal tool grinders to specialized drill sharpeners and precision models like the EWAG WS 11. These machines accommodate various workshop sharpening requirements without redundant complexity. All machines can be inspected at our Nashik yard before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the operational difference between a universal tool grinder like the Jones & Shipman 1235 and a dedicated unit like the Bora drill sharpener?
A universal machine features a swiveling table, universal workhead, and multiple attachments to handle a wide variety of cutter geometries, reamers, and end mills. A dedicated drill sharpener is built specifically to recreate precise point angles and lip reliefs on twist drills quickly and repeatedly.
How do small footprint tool grinders like the EWAG WS 11 differ from standard shop-floor universal grinders?
The EWAG WS 11 is designed for high-precision grinding and small indexable inserts or micro-tools, offering specialized optical attachments and fine-adjustment slides. Standard universal grinders provide larger table travels and heavier workheads for conventional milling cutters and reamers.
What checks are critical for the workhead spindle on a used TOS or Stanko tool grinder?
You must check the spindle bearings for any thermal expansion issues, noise, or axial and radial play. Any runout in the workhead taper will translate directly into inaccurate relief angles and poor cutting edge symmetry on the sharpened tool.
Are indexing attachments and tailstocks typically included with pre-owned tool and cutter grinders?
Many used machines come equipped with standard tailstocks, universal workheads, and dividing attachments necessary for multi-flute cutting tools. However, specialized index plates or specific work-holding collets should always be verified against your specific tooling requirements during inspection.
