EXTERNAL TOOL POST GRINDER

An external tool post grinder is a specialized grinding tool used in machining operations, particularly in metalworking. It is designed to be mounted on the tool post of a lathe or similar machine, allowing for precision grinding of external surfaces on workpieces held in the lathe chuck or between centres. The grinder is typically mounted on the tool post of the lathe or secured to the lathe carriage using a special mounting bracket. This positioning allows for precise control and alignment of the grinding wheel relative to the workpiece. External tool post grinders are equipped with a grinding wheel or abrasive disc suitable for grinding external surfaces. The wheel may vary in size and composition depending on the specific application and material being worked on.
