16" x 32" Chevalier FSG-1632TXII Hydraulic Surface Grinder

Serial Number: U6B55001 | Year of Mfg: 1998 | Condition: Professional Retail / Verified

Overview

Available for immediate acquisition is this Chevalier FSG-1632TXII high-precision hydraulic surface grinder. Unlike standard saddle-type grinders, the TXII series features a moving column design, ensuring that the worktable is fully supported by the base casting throughout the entire 32" longitudinal travel. This architecture eliminates table overhang and ensures unmatched flatness and parallelism, even when grinding heavy workpieces at the edges of the envelope.

Equipped with a swing-away operator’s station and sophisticated automated downfeed cycles, this machine is ideal for toolrooms and production environments requiring "mirror finishes" and "tenths" accuracy.
