T-480 - Tool & Cutter Grinding Machine: Precision, Efficiency, and Longevity in Tool Sharpening
Every toolmaker and machinist understands the frustration of worn-out cutting tools—compromised precision, reduced efficiency, and costly replacements. What if you had a tool and cutter grinding machine that not only revived your tools but did so with unmatched accuracy and ease?
Introducing the T-480 - Tool & Cutter Grinding Machine
Manufactured by APAR India Machines, the T-480 is a product of continuous innovation spanning over three decades. It is the ultimate solution for precise tool sharpening and grinding. Designed for professionals who demand high performance, this machine is widely recognized in both Indian and international markets for its reliability, precision, and user-friendly operation.
The Challenge: Precision Tool Sharpening
Conventional grinding machines often lack accuracy, demand frequent adjustments, and struggle to handle tools with varied geometries. This leads to inefficiencies in operations and frequent tool replacements—adding unnecessary costs and downtime.
The Solution: Why the T-480 Stands Out
The T-480 - Tool & Cutter Grinding Machine is engineered to overcome these challenges with a suite of advanced features:
-
The hardened & thread ground lead screws in the cross & pillar slide ensure micro-feed responsiveness, providing precision sharpening with minimal effort.
-
The worktable slide is equipped with precision linear roller guide ways, enabling smooth, friction-free movement for highly repeatable sharpening.
-
A fine-adjustment mechanism ensures guideways are set precisely to match your specific sharpening needs.
-
A cartridge-type grinding spindle, supported by high-precision angular contact bearings, guarantees optimal radial and axial load performance.
-
The taper nose at both ends allows quick and precise mounting of different wheel flanges based on grinding applications.
-
The belt-driven spindle system eliminates residual motor vibrations, ensuring stability and longevity.
-
The T-480 allows worktable swiveling up to 90° for versatile grinding angles.
-
Pillar shifting across 480mm for optimal tool positioning.
-
360° pillar rotation for complete flexibility.
-
Tilting spindle head (+/- 15°) for precision grinding (optional feature).
-
Spindle block movement for fine-tuned control.

Applications
Applications
The T-480 Manual Tool and Cutter Grinding Machine, is typically used for simpler, less heavy-duty tool grinding applications. It shares many of the same core functions with T-600 but is more suited for light to medium-duty operations, training purposes, and basic tool maintenance.
Here are the main applications of the T-480:
🔧 1. Basic Tool Resharpening
- Drill bits – Twist drill resharpening for small workshops.
- Lathe tools – Basic turning tool geometry sharpening.
- Single-point cutting tools – Common in turning and shaping operations.
- Suitable for tools with and standard angles.
🛠️ 2. Light Duty Tool Grinding
- Regrinding of cutters, reamers, and small end mills (light usage).
- Not ideal for heavy-duty carbide or coated tools – better for .
📐 3. Angle and Surface Grinding
- Can grind basic angles like Rake, Relief and Clearance
- Good for manual adjustments and general purpose resharpening
🏫 4. Training and Educational Use
- Frequently used in ITI, polytechnic, and vocational institutes.
- Ideal for teaching basic tool geometry and hand-grinding techniques.
- Low cost and manual operation make it perfect for beginner machinists.
🏢 5. Small Scale Workshops and Maintenance Rooms
- Local machine Shops
- Small Component Manufacturers
- Plant Maintenance Departments
🧰 6. Low Volume or Prototype Tool Work
- Can be used for manual tool modifications and one-off jobs.
- Not meant for production-level workloads but good for .
