CNC Surface Grinder

on 2003-01-26 15:05:02 UTC
Questions:
1. Does mist work OK with a surfaec grinder? In the olden days we
used flood cooling.
2. Do CNC surface grinders exist or is cnc just used for automatic
feed?
3. Are axis designations the same as a mill? X/Y table, Z head?
4. Is there anything built into G-code to compensate for wheel wear?
5. What CAM program would you use for horizontal milling / surface
grinder? VM4 doesn't do it and I don't remember seeing it in
MasterCam.

Just curious. I was given a Butterfly (no kidding) surface grinder,
manual feed, mag chuck, single phase, about 8X30. I don't think I
will automate it but now that anything can be CNC'd with Gecko's and
Mach1 you at least have to consider the posibility.
