This grinder is built with high-grade cast iron, featuring heavy walls and reinforced ribs to deliver exceptional rigidity and dampening. It is powered by a 2 HP V3 class spindle motor that runs at 3450 RPM. The high-precision cartridge-type spindle is supported by preloaded precision angular contact ball bearings for highly accurate performance.

The CSG3A618 achieves automatic movement with a hydraulic-driven longitudinal table movement and a servo motor-driven crossfeed. The vertical axis features a Rapid Up-Down Head Positioning Motor for fast and efficient wheel positioning. For excellent wear resistance, the saddle rests on hand-scraped double V-ways, while the table rests on hand-scraped V and Flat ways coated with Turcite-B, complemented by an Auto Lubrication System.

The maximum height from the table surface to the spindle centerline is 18 inches. The maximum table manual travel is 20 inches. Other standard features include a Cross Feed Ballscrew, a Table Mounted Diamond Dresser with diamond, a Grinding Wheel, a Wheel Flange, a Balancing Stand with Arbor, Leveling Screws with Blocks, and a Splash Guard. The machine is wired for 230 or 460 volts, 3-phase.
