What the maker publishes about the current Blanchard 8AD-12
Blanchard designates the 8AD-12 as a rotary surface grinder in which an 8 inch grinding wheel faces a 12 inch steel magnetic chuck. Its swing clears parts of 14 inches in diameter, and the chuck takes no more than 100 lbs. Between wheel and chuck there is 5.5 inches of vertical range, and Bourn & Koch prints no taller range as an option for this size. Spindle power is 3 HP. Chuck rotation spans 20 to 120 RPM. Carriage travel along X measures 8 inches, and the whole grinder weighs about 1,300 lbs net. For the 8AD-12 it now makes, Bourn & Koch lists servo control on one axis, a monochrome LCD screen, a wheel dresser, fine feed and automatic lubrication as standard, with a vacuum chuck and Marposs gauging during the cycle listed as extras.
