The FSG-618M Manual Surface Grinder by Chevalier is engineered for demanding precision work, making it ideal for both precision surface grinding and intricate form grinding. Its structural integrity is a key feature- with all essential castings crafted from high-grade Meehanite cast iron and stress relieved through annealing to eliminate internal tensions. This heavy-duty construction provides the greatest stiffness and stability– ensuring consistent accuracy and minimizing vibration throughout the grinding process.

The machine offers a generous 18.0-inch grinding length (457 mm) and a 6.0-inch grinding width (152 mm), capable of handling a maximum table load of 462 lbs (210 kg). The grinding wheel is powered by a 2 HP (1.5 kW) spindle motor that achieves a high speed of 3,450 rpm (60 Hz). For smooth and precise movement, the saddle travels on Turcite-B-coated and hand-scraped double V guideways. Safety is also paramount- featuring an interlock between the electrical cabinet door and the power supply to ensure safe operation, along with spring-loaded table travel stops to dampen overtravel. The FSG-618M is a reliable, manually controlled workhorse built for enduring accuracy.
