- The new RSS #2 Precision Centerless Grinder
is designed as a workhorse based on maximum reliability, sturdiness and simplicity.
It is a general purpose grinder suitable for a wide variety of infeed and thrufeed
jobs. The parts could have straight, tapered, formed, or multiple diameters. The
grinder works efficiently in small batches or production runs.

to provide the highest performance and tolerances.
- The precision hydrodynamic spindle of the centerless grinder is supported by two sets
of five shoes of bearings. The bearings are mounted directly in the sturdy machine base for
maximum rigidity. Each bearing shoe works on the principle of high pressure wedges created
between the shoes and the rotating spindle, which helps in maintaining constant center of
rotation irrespective of the direction of force of the load.
- The centerless grinder is supplied with profile dressers for grinding and
regulating wheel. The grinding wheel truing unit is operated hydraulically, while the regulating
wheel truing unit is operated with a hand wheel. Hydraulic truing for regulating wheel is available

- The regulating wheel drive is through infinitely variable hydrostatic drive.
It is a self-contained unit with a hand wheel to change the speed.
The speed is displayed on a digital tachometer.
- The grinder is designed with manual infeed as standard. Infeed grinding to size is achieved through
the manual lever which provides stroke up to 0.038" using a standard single pitch lead screw.
