How much does the Chevalier SMART-H/B2480IV cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Chevalier SMART-H/B2480IV that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Chevalier SMART-H/B2480IV grinds 78.7 in (2,000 mm) by 23.6 in (600 mm), and it is the longest SMART-IV grinder still offered in both the H and the B version. The two longer machines in the range, the SMART-H24120IV and SMART-H24160IV, are listed as H only. If a job needs the B version's table speed range of 0 to 65.6 fpm, this is where the length stops.
That matters for profile work. A table that can be driven from zero suits slow, controlled passes along a formed wheel, while the H version's 16 to 98.4 fpm suits reciprocating surface grinding. On a two-metre table the difference decides what kind of work the machine is bought for.
Table travel is 82.7 in (2,100 mm) and the table takes 4,406 lb (2,000 kg). Cross travel is 27.0 in (685 mm) at 0 to 16.4 fpm, and there is 33.5 in (850 mm) between the table and the wheel centerline. The spindle is the 15 hp (11 kW), 500 to 2,200 rpm unit used across the 24 in frame, with a 16 in diameter, 2 in wide wheel.
The machine weighs 22,400 lb (10,200 kg). Its footprint, the same for both versions, is 303.5 in x 130.7 in x 112.2 in (7,710 x 3,320 x 2,850 mm), a little over 25 feet long. Chevalier lists hand-scraped, Turcite-B coated double V ways under the table and saddle and automatic dressing with compensation. The maker's table size row is not printed cleanly for this model.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 78.7 in (2,000 mm) grinding length with 82.7 in (2,100 mm) of table travel
- Longest SMART-IV model listed in both H and B versions
- Table load of 4,406 lb (2,000 kg)
- 27.0 in (685 mm) cross travel at up to 16.4 fpm
- 500 to 2,200 rpm spindle with a 16 in diameter wheel
Limitations
- Needs 303.5 in of length and 130.7 in of depth
- 15 hp (11 kW) spindle on a two-metre machine limits stock removal per pass
- Net weight of 22,400 lb (10,200 kg)
- Work longer than 78.7 in (2,000 mm) means the H-only SMART-H24120IV

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Yes. The maker's table gives a table speed for each, H: 16 to 98.4 fpm (5 to 30 m/min) and B: 0 to 65.6 fpm (0 to 20 m/min), and one floor space figure for H/B. The next two sizes up, the SMART-H24120IV and SMART-H24160IV, list an H table speed only.
02
Grinding length 78.7 in (2,000 mm), grinding width 23.6 in (600 mm), table travel 82.7 in (2,100 mm), cross travel 27.0 in (685 mm), 33.5 in (850 mm) from table to wheel centerline and a table load of 4,406 lb (2,000 kg).
03
The spindle motor is 15 hp (11 kW) with speed variable from 500 to 2,200 rpm. The wheel is 16 in in diameter and 2 in wide on a 5 in bore. That is the same spindle as on the shorter SMART-H/B2448IV, so cutting capacity per pass does not grow with table length.
04
Floor space is listed as 303.5 in x 130.7 in x 112.2 in (7,710 x 3,320 x 2,850 mm) for both versions, and the net weight is 22,400 lb (10,200 kg). Plan crane or forklift access along the full length for loading long parts.
