we featured the news release Specialist for grinding machines and tool checkers from
Koerber Schleifring UK: "Korber Schleifring UK has engaged Nathan Moore as machine sales specialist".
In March 2007, we covered the news from Rollomatic
concerning its 6-axis tool grinding machine + automatic tailstock
- take a look at Six-axis tool grinders get automatic tailstock
which says: "Users of a range of 6-axis tool grinding machines now have the option of attaching n automatic tailstock for grinding of reamers, form tools and other tools which have to be ground between centers".
Take a look also at the news release from Koerber Schleifring UK, CNC tool and cutter grinder is 'entry level',
as well as 500 Walter tool measuring machines delivered from Koerber Schleifring UK,
and Tool grinders added to measuring for tools from Koerber Schleifring UK.
