The FastGrind CNC tool and cutter grinder from ANCA Inc. is for resharpening tools from 0.35mm to 12mm in diameter. The $120,000 machine uses a double-ended HSK 40 wheel spindle to enhance flexibility and reduce setup time, according to the company. The maximum wheel diameter is 8". A part probing system is standard. Ballscrews drive the linear axes and the two rotary axes are direct-driven. All axis saddles are made from a single-piece casting to enhance rigidity and reduce vibration, according to the company.
