As a specialty toolmaker, Dew Tool Grinding Services Inc. always has relied heavily on the software of tool grinding machines.

For the 102nd Grinding Doc episode, Dr. Jeffrey Badger covers the impact that thermal softening, residual tensile stresses and rehardening burn have on fatigue life in steel workpieces.

Junker Group's RETROFiT service provides many benefits for customers by modernizing used machines and bringing them up to the latest technical standards. Compared with purchasing a new machine, RETROFiT supplies savings of up to 60%. Renault Portugal SA took advantage of this program and opted to retrofit two Quickpoint cylindrical grinding machines.

Jeffrey Badger, Ph.D., takes a detailed look at the impact different grinding approaches have on cup wheel wear in the 101st episode of the Grinding Doc video series.

the GT-610 EZ has the ability to produce G-ratios that can exceed those of machines twice its size. When running super abrasives, a variable frequency drive on the work wheel spindle is available to increase wheel surface feet.
