Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Machine grinds tools as small as 0.5mm diameter from
Anca Pty, which we summarised at the time by saying "A CNC tool grinder is designed for grinding small cutting tools with diameters as low as 0.5mm having overcome problems of vibration, thermal growth, wheel wear and tool run-out".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release CNC tool and cutter grinder is consistent from
Koerber Schleifring UK: "To meet increasing demand for tooling regrinds from aerospace companies, a UK specialist tooling manufacturer has added on another CNC tool and cutter grinder for its consistency".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Koerber Schleifring UK
- take a look at Tool grinder builder moves to new factory
which says: "Builder of tool and cutter grinding machines, Walter Maschinenbau, has moved to a purpose-build, EUR 6 million facility for machine tool technical development".
Take a look also at the news release from Koerber Schleifring UK, Five-axis tool grinder works unmanned at night,
as well as Six-axis CNC machine grinds micro tools from Koerber Schleifring UK,
and CNC tool and cutter grinder is 'entry level' from Koerber Schleifring UK.
