Summary: Grinding
lathe tools.
Tool post grinders are specialized attachments for lathes that transform the lathe into a grinding machine. They are mounted on the lathe's tool post and use a high-speed grinding wheel to perform precision grinding operations on the workpiece while it rotates. This allows for accurate finishing of cylindrical surfaces, tapers, and other shapes directly on the lathe. Tool post grinders are particularly useful for achieving fine tolerances and smooth surface finishes in applications like toolmaking, die making, and precision part manufacturing.
