Surface Grinder Construction

Figure 1. DoAll Horizontal Surface Grinder Construction

Down Feed Hand wheel -- The down feed hand wheel raises or lowers the grinding wheel head.

Table Stroke Trip Dogs -- The automatic table travel distance is controlled by the table stroke trip dogs. The automatic travel direction reverses when the trip dog is actuated. Trip dogs control table travel distance on both the cross feed and longitudinal feed directions.
