Thielicke and Co Type HS tool and cutter grinder
Picked up this little T&C grinder yesterday.
I can only find one other reference to them online, and that was someone on Practical Machinist asking for info (with no reply).
Here's some details of what I know thus far...
- Likely made in the late 1950's going by the date stamp on what appears to be an unused grinding wheel, and the physical motor styling
- Bears some resemblance to a Deckel D-Bit grinders, but the ways on this one are perpendicular to the spindle (Deckel's are parallel to spindle)
- Has integral coolant facility. There's a very small pump and a reservoir external mounted on the back of the machine, and the coolant pan and drain are part of the main machine casting.
- The main casting sits on a fabricated stand with 3 swing out drawers that use the same key.
- There's a useful wooden shelf around the top of the fabricated base. Has a varnished wooden edging and would be a practical place to put things out of the way of the main work area and coolant etc
- Motor has forward and reverse switching, and 2 motor speeds (selected by belt position on pulleys)
- There's a worm drive in the workhead spindle which can be engaged to give infinite control of position of rotation. Also a toothed indexing arrangement (not sure exactly how that works yet
- Still has what I assume are the original leather bellows covering the round guide ways.
And the obligatory photos:
