Is this a cylindrical grinding attachment??

Chaps

I have had this item on the shelf gathering dust for years. I think it's a cylindrical grinding attachment. It's made by Siemens, is powered by a 3 phase 1450rpm motor (usefully it's 6 wire) and appears to have a 4MT taper in the spindle .I don't have anything 4MT to test in it but it seems to measure up that way. The head swivels 90 degrees either way. The "centre height" is about 1

3/4". Have a look at the photos and tell me if I'm right in thinking that it's a cylindrical grinding attachment. Anyone know any more?

Charles,

I think that is probably the work head off a cylindrical grinder rather than the wheel head.

Or for a T&C grinder, in which case you could describe it as a 'cylindrical grinding attachmement'.

"> >Charles,

I'm with you Tim. What I've got work out is will it be easier to adapt this head to fit my J&S 310 or would it be easier to find/make the powered workhead conversion that Jones & Shipman made....

I might be interested in doing a swap for the workhead from a J&S cylindrical grinder, if that's of any help?
