These machines are built very heavy with widely spaced ways to assure positive alignment of the wheel head to the table. Moreover, the controls are easier to use. Precision Incremental In-Feed Lever is much easier to use than a handwheel to achieve the precise desired journal size.
One full stroke of this lever moves the wheelhead precisely .0004,” and it can be used in steps to move the wheelhead .0001,” .0002,” or .0003.” The superior accuracy of this machine allows double plunge grinding precisely to the same size leaving no lap line.
