In the UK - and some other English-speaking countries - the following tool & cutter grinders are relatively common:

Some are complex, professional machines, other simple devices that still perform adequately in the amateur's workshop - they fall into three broad categories:
1) special types of limited functionality used, for example, for the sharpening of "D bits" and other cutters used by pantograph engravers
2) standard machines for the grinding of the such ordinary items as, for example, mills, slot drills, side-and-face cutters and slab mills
3) more versatile "universal" machines, such as the K.O.Lee, where the design allowed other forms of grinding - surface and cylindrical for example - to take place. When considering the purchase of a tool and cutter grinder be sure that it does not fall into category (1) - check that it has a similar range of movements and settings available on standard machines such as the Clarkson and Quorn. Should you need a more versatile example, compare it to the K.O.Lee, LeBlond and Jones and Shipman Model 310 and 1014. While tool and cutter grinders (especially "Universal" models like the Greenfield) are a most useful addition to any workshop, do beware of buying one without accessories; although some limited work is possible, to exploit the capabilities of a machine fully, rather more is required than just the basic unit. Installed in a professional workshop a typical example might well be complete with such as items as: a radial grinding attachment; collets; a universal grinding head; universal (double swivel) work-holding fixture; a self-contained, table-mounted motor-driven workhead; sensitive workhead and a selection of precision, very slightly tapered arbors to hold workpieces.

While operation manuals are available for many of the listed machines, should one not be listed for yours you will find one or more of the following useful - these are supplied regularly for tool & cutter grinders where the maker is unknown and the instructions missing. The two with the most direct, hands-on approach are coded: MC180B and ME200/MA700A
