The extensive use now being made of grinding in engineering operations is being met in many ways by the Copco surface grinder marketed by Capco (Salos) Ltd., and now available in two models, the new No. Z machine being similar to the older No. 3, except that it con be supplied with the spindle extended at the rear to take an abrasive whool cutting-off at- tachment.

Both models are remarkable for the number of at- tachments now available to increase the use- fulness of the unit, one of them being de- signed for the cylindrical grinding of such items as plug gauges, punches, reamers, and spindles, and accurate taper grinding can be carried out up to 10 degrees..

A special feature is that the attachment is easily set up and the fractional motor can be plug- ged into
