Royal Master TG-12×8 Hi-Accuracy Centerless Grinder
The TG-12×8 and the TG 12×4 share the same controls system, but that’s where the similarities stop. The TG-12×8 with its wider grinding and regulating wheels provide centerpiece for this robust machine platform. The ability to grind up to 3” in diameter is impressive, but on the same machine grind down to .002” in diameter is amazing. The High Accuracy platform makes accurate size compensations in .00001” as easy as touching a button. The system has standard dressing, automatic dressing, over the wheel CNC for either Grinding or Regulating Wheels. Horizontal Rotary Diamond Disk CNC is available for the grinding wheel.
- Infeed and Thrufeed Grinding, .002” up to 3” in diameter
- 12” Diameter x 8” wide grinding wheel, 8” diameter by 8” wide Regulating wheel
- Straddle Bearing Designs on both grinding and regulating wheel giving superior redigity to any comparable sized machine worldwide.
- Full Complement of Automation Available as well as Gauging and Machine Analytics
The TG-12x8 High Accuracy machine is versatile, robust, and easy to operate, embodying the quality expected from a Royal Master Centerless Grinder. We've installed a range of 12x8 High Accuracy systems, from basic models to fully automated versions with safety enclosures.
The 1.5-inch diameter part is ground on two diameters with a large diameter head which remains unground. The grinding wheel form is dressed with a single point diamond traversing in an over the wheel template profile. The regulating wheel is also dressed with a template trace and a single point diamond. These wheel dressers use a motor drive with ball screw automatic traverse.
Ram Bed positioning is coordinated with the Parker machine control. The operator interface is a 24-inch touch screen with Windows 10 along with the latest hardware and user-friendly software. Screens are easily navigated and provide flexibility of parameter inputs, retrieval of pre-saved grind recipes and dress recipes as well as communication to feed systems. Remote access for diagnostic tools and report sending are standard.
The machine sits on our 8” (203mm) thick Starrett surface plate quality granite. The granite bed forms a perfect platform for such a robust spindle design. The granite is known for its rigidity and thermal properties and provides a superior platform to other machines on the market. It is as strong as those who have machine platforms twice the physical size of the TG-12×8.
The main spindle motor is 10 Hp. The entire Ram Bed swivels with the Work Rest Holder to simplify adjustments and changeovers. The Operator Control Screen provides digital setting of Regulating Wheel Speed, Wheel Dressing parameters as well as other standard machine controls.

12” Diameter Grinding Wheel 8” wide, 8” Diameter 8” wide Regulating wheel
Variable Frequency Drive on grinding wheel spindle for super abrasives or maintaining constant surface footage when grinding.
