Hunton Vertical Grinders have been available for fifteen years. Hunton precision vertical grinders are ideal for sharpening all popular CNC tooling, including Amada, Behrens, Finn Power, Murata-Wiedemann, Raskin, Rhodes, Strippit and Trumpf. Hunton Grinders are an excellent way to keep your turret punch tooling sharp while reducing cost and inventory.

The grinder is designed to allow you to sharpen your punches and dies right at the workplace quickly and easily. Regular sharpening of your tools will extend the life of your punch and die. Regular sharpening will also improve the quality of your work piece. The grinder has a convenient hand wheel that is graduated in .001" increments provides fine feed for an excellent finish.

The BG790S comes standard in a coolant tank; this allows you to sharpen your tooling and help to keep you from damaging your tooling due to excessive heat build-up during the grinding process. There is an adjustable nozzle for coolant flow and location.

The BG790S comes with two chucks that are side by side on the base of the machine. On the right hand side is a 6-3/4" magnetic chuck for grinding your dies. On the left hand side is the shear grind / quick change chuck. This chuck gives you the versatility to do flat top grinding or to put up to a ten degree rooftop shear on your punches. There two "zero angle" pins to do the flat top grinding. These pins can be removed to allow the rooftop shearing. There is a scale on the front of the chuck that tells you what degree of a pitch you are putting onto your punch. This chuck can also be used with our shear jig adaptor kits. The adaptor kit allows you to use the quick chang feature of the chuck. To use this feature simply remove the vee block from the top of the shear grind chuck. You don't have to disassemble the punches, simply put the spring pack and punch into the adaptor ring, tighten a set screw and put the ring in the shear grind chuck and grind. Kits are available for certain types of tooling.
