NXT Tool Grinder
NXT Tool Grinder
The NXT is a small footprint machine, with a large grind zone, an ability to run small and large diameter wheels. It uses less moving parts and easily configurable option in a modular design, at a competitive price point.
Small Footprint Machine with a Large Grind Zone
The NXT generation of tool grinding has arrived. The NXT Tool Grinder is a small footprint machine, with a large grind zone. The machine has the ability to run small and large diameter wheels, has easily configurable options, combined with the efficiency and stability from previous Star tool grinders.
