The FSG-2A618 Semi-Automatic Surface Grinder by Chevalier is built to deliver high precision and durability in surface grinding applications. The machine’s foundation is composed of all essential castings made from high-grade Meehanite cast iron that has been stress-relieved through annealing- effectively eliminating internal stress to maintain long-term machine geometry and accuracy. The grinding spindle is a high-precision cartridge type equipped with four pieces of Class 7 angular contact ball bearings, making it highly suitable for heavy-duty grinding and high spindle speeds (up to 3,450 rpm on 60 Hz).

To ensure smooth and precise movement, the saddle travels on Turcite-B-coated and hand-scraped double V guideways. Furthermore, the machine utilizes a separate hydraulic system to prevent vibration and minimize heat transference, which is crucial for maintaining grinding quality during prolonged operation. Key specifications include a grinding length of 18.0 inches (457 mm) and a grinding width of 6.0 inches (152 mm)- making it ideal for standard toolroom and production work. With a maximum table load of 462 lbs. (210 kg) and variable table speeds ranging from 16 to 82 fpm, the FSG-2A618 offers a reliable and efficient platform for semi-automated grinding tasks.
