Very rare - for few can have been made even though production is rumoured to have continued until the 1970s - the ETA tool and cutter grinder was a well made and versatile machine. Able to be moved up and down through the action of a worm-and-wheel drive (that give a very fine and easily-controlled feed) the head assembly carrying the grinding wheel was pivoted on the main upright casting. The two-part table (the upper section could be swung slightly in relation to the lower) was carried on a boss in front of the arm that allowed it to be swung in either direction with the shorter in and out movement being controlled by a screw feed and the longitudinal travel by a capstan handwheel connected to rack-and-pinion gearing.
