Default Cincinnati #2 tool and cutter grinder

I recently extended my shed because I had too much clutter. So what do I do? I clutter up the extension with new toys.

This one is a blast from the past. A Cincinnati #2 tool and cutter grinder.





These machines were originally sold to enable machine shops to resharpen their milling cutters, end mills and drills with high precision and also to make custom tools for the lathe and mill.

The reason I was attracted to this machine was less for that, although I will use it to make tools for the lathe mostly. But I was interested in a secondary capability of being able to surface grind and cylindrical grind parts.

Trying to buy a new machine to do both of those things will cost a lot and the machine will be less capable that this one.

I asked Charliewool to talk me down from buying this machine, but he was all for it.

The only downside was the location. It was in Melbourne. Rare to find this sort of machine in QLD and my experience has been that the more capable industrial machines are going to be found in Victoria and South Australia

So needed to add freight and delivery to the price of the machine. Plus the trauma that comes with entrusting a precision machine to a zero-care trucking company
