Browse used cylindrical grinders — max grinding dia to 400 mm, grinding length to 1500 mm. Internal grinding attachment. DRO. Indian & imported.
A cylindrical grinding machine rotates the workpiece between centres (or in a chuck) while a grinding wheel contacts the outside diameter, producing precision cylindrical surfaces — journals, pins, bores, spindles, and hardened shafts. Cylindrical grinding achieves tolerances of IT5–IT6 and surface finishes of Ra 0.2–0.8 µm, making it essential in toolroom, bearing, and precision shaft production. Plain cylindrical grinders handle external surfaces; machines with an internal grinding attachment add internal bore grinding capability in the same setup.
The defining specifications on a cylindrical grinder are maximum grinding diameter (the largest OD the wheel can reach), maximum grinding length (the longest workpiece between centres), and distance between centres. Work head speed range (the rotational speed of the workpiece) determines the achievable surface cutting speed for the workpiece material. Grinding wheel speed (typically expressed as a range in rpm, or as a fixed value) combined with wheel diameter gives the wheel surface speed. Table swivel angle is important for taper grinding — even a small swivel capability handles most precision taper work. An internal grinding attachment typically adds a separate high-speed spindle with smaller grinding wheel.
Machine City stocks cylindrical grinders from European and Japanese manufacturers (Studer, Jones & Shipman, Schaudt, Kellenberger, Okamoto) as well as Indian-made machines. Used cylindrical grinders at 30–50% of new cost are excellent for toolrooms, bearing reconditioning shops, and precision shaft production.

Buyer’s Guide
The wheel spindle is the most critical component. Run to full speed and feel the spindle housing for vibration. Any vibration, even minor, transfers to the ground surface as roundness and cylindricity error. Spindle bearing replacement is the most common cylindrical grinder repair.
Confirm the distance between centres matches your longest workpiece including the centres themselves. Also verify that the tailstock slides and locks at the required distance without binding.
Check the headstock spindle for play — even 0.001 mm headstock runout adds directly to the ground workpiece eccentricity. Verify the drive type (gear, belt, universal joint) for smooth, vibration-free rotation.
Verify hydraulic table traverse is smooth at all speeds. Check the table swivel scale for accuracy — it determines taper grinding capability. Any slop in the swivel clamping will produce cylindricity error on taper grinding.

Inspect the live centre (tailstock) and driving carrier. Worn or out-of-round centres produce out-of-round ground parts. Replace centres before acceptance testing.
If fitted, test the internal grinding spindle at its rated speed (typically 20,000–60,000 rpm for small bores). High-speed internal spindles have short bearing life and replacement costs are significant.
Cylindrical grinding requires adequate coolant flow to prevent thermal damage to the workpiece and burning. Verify the coolant pump, nozzle, and filtration are all functional.
