About Used Grinding Equipment
Meadoworks carries a comprehensive selection of used grinding machines for precision metalworking applications. Our inventory includes surface grinders (reciprocating and rotary), cylindrical grinders (OD, ID, and universal), centerless grinders, tool and cutter grinders, jig grinders, and specialty grinding equipment. We stock machines from Blanchard, Brown & Sharpe, Landis, Cincinnati, Studer, Okuma, Jones & Shipman, Harig, Chevalier, and other precision grinding manufacturers. Find both manual and CNC grinders with various wheel sizes, magnetic chuck capacities, and automation options. Grinding is essential for achieving tight tolerances and superior surface finishes on hardened materials. Each listing includes specifications for table size, wheel dimensions, spindle speeds, and accuracy capabilities. Whether you need a simple surface grinder or a complex CNC cylindrical grinder, Meadoworks offers solutions at every budget level.

What to Consider When Buying Used Industrial Equipment
When purchasing used industrial equipment, thoroughly evaluate the machine's condition, maintenance history, and remaining useful life. Request documentation including service records, calibration certificates, and any known issues. Inspect the equipment in person when possible — look for signs of wear, leaks, unusual noises, and overall maintenance quality. Check that safety systems are intact and functional.
Consider the total cost of ownership beyond the purchase price: rigging, shipping, installation, reconditioning, spare parts availability, and any necessary upgrades to controls or safety systems. Used equipment typically offers 40-70% savings over new, with immediate availability versus months-long lead times for new machines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of grinding machines does Meadoworks stock?
We carry surface grinders (reciprocating and rotary table), cylindrical grinders (OD, ID, and universal), centerless grinders, tool and cutter grinders, jig grinders, and specialty grinding equipment from Blanchard, Brown & Sharpe, Landis, Cincinnati, Studer, Okuma, and other manufacturers.
What's the difference between reciprocating and rotary surface grinders?
Reciprocating surface grinders move the workpiece back and forth under a horizontal spindle wheel—ideal for precision flat surfaces on rectangular parts. Rotary surface grinders (like Blanchard) rotate parts under a vertical spindle—better for high-volume production and round parts.
When should I use cylindrical grinding vs. centerless grinding?
Cylindrical grinding holds parts between centers or in a chuck—better for parts with features to reference and when concentricity to a specific datum is critical. Centerless grinding supports parts on a blade between grinding and regulating wheels—faster for high-volume production of round parts.
