The Tradesman Machinist Neck and Cut Off complete with one Diamond Tradesman 6″ Plated chamfer grinding wheel, and T-ER32i Neck Grinding Attachment (Shown below with Cuttermasters Cut Off Wheel, additional). This is our one-wheeled version of the Tradesman Machinist, designed to be a dedicated neck reduction, set screw flat and cut off station (and more).  Visit our grinding wheels pages for a full list of wheel choices.

Our Superabrasive wheels are balanced and always flat, so no extra grinding dust. When you use the Tradesman Grinder with it’s DC motor you find you can grind heavy cuts, at below 1000 rpm, keeping the grinding process cool and quiet.  If you want to put a .005 radius/chamfer on something, you can hear when the tool contacts the wheel. 

Weldon Set Screw Flats

The tool you need for a job may not have an important feature: the set screw flat. Quickly add a perfect set screw flat or Weldon flat using the V Block Attachment (Click here for a YouTube video) or the T-ER32i Neck Grinding Attachment and one of our Chamfer Wheels.  This same set up is perfect for reducing the neck diameter of your CBN and carbide tools.  However you may prefer one of our Shoulder Wheels for neck reduction as there is no chamfer which allows for closer approach to the collet chuck.

Carbide Cut Off

Cut off your carbide tools with our Diamond Resin Bond Cut Off Wheel or our Diamond Plated Cut Off Wheel. The resin bond wheel will cut more tools while the plated wheel will cut faster. This operation can be done with the V-Block instead of the T-ER-32 Neck Attachement but the attachment offers stability and tool rotation for a quicker and cooler cutting cycle.

Radius Grinding

Grind rads quickly and easily with our Profiled Radius Wheels.  Our T-ER-32i Neck Grinding Attachment indexes to flute positions for 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 flute end mills and allows you to plunge grind a radius (YouTube video).

Neck Reduction and T-Cutter Creation

Neck reduction: This often needed grind is quick and easy with the Tradesman Machinist T-ER32i Neck Grinding Attachment and one of our diamond plated Shoulder Wheels.  This same set up is perfect for creating your own T-cutter out of a standard end mill with our CBN Shoulder Wheels.
