THIS PRECISION WORKHOLDING FIXTURE PROVIDES FAST, ACCURATE SHARPENING OF END MILLS AND MILLING CUTTERS. THE AIR-SUSPENDED, MOVABLE SPINDLE PRINCIPLE FOR GRINDING SMALLER CUTTERS AVOIDS THE PROBLEMS OF INSENSITIVE TABLE TRAVEL, AND THE FRICTION OF ORDINARY BALL BEARING WORKHEADS.

THE AIR-BEARING PRINCIPLE ELIMINATES METAL-TO-METAL CONTACT BETWEEN SPINDLE AND BEARING. PRESSURIZED AIR BLEEDS OUT BETWEEN SPINDLE AND BEARING RESTRICTIONS, BLOWING DUST AWAY FROM THESE SURFACES WHILE KEEPING THE SPINDLE NEAR PERFECTLY CENTERED.

THE RESULT: VERY SMALL AND REGULAR-SIZED MILLS ARE SHARPENED FASTER WITH LESS SET-UP TIME AND OPERATOR FATIGUE. WHETHER YOU SHARPEN END MILLS AS A SERVICE, OR REQUIRE THE CONTINUAL SHARPENING OF A VARIETY OF SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED CUTTERS, THIS AIR-BEARING FIXTURE PAYS FOR ITSELF IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
