The M1450B has been very successful in prototype work and in aircraft work were they use exotic materials. The spindle workhead can be set to a live or a dead center. On the M1450B the pick feed can be set to feed in on either end of the traverse or at both ends and has a variable feed adjustment. The wheelhead must be manually retracted by actuating the feed handle.
All of ECOTECH'S Universal Cylindrical Grinders have heavy aged cast iron construction, that have been precision machined and hand scraped. The universal grinders are specially designed for grinding O.D. and I.D. surfaces. With the universal workhead and wheelhead these machines are also ideally suited for grinding taper and faces as well. With a Hydro-Dynamic spindle on the wheelhead, and the Hydro-Static lubrication system on the table, they will give you many years of trouble free
