Tool and cutter grinder

Todays tool and cutter grinder is typically a CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) machine tool, usually 4, 5, or 6 axes, which produces endmills, drills, etc. which are widely used in the metal cutting industry.

Tool and cutter grinders can be adapted to manufacturing precision machine components. The machine, when used for these purposes more likely would be called a CNC Grinding System.

CNC Grinding Systems, are widely used in the production of parts for aerospace, medical, automotive, and other industries. Extremely hard and exotic materials are generally no problem for todays Grinding systems and the multi axis machines are capable of generating quite complex geometries.
