How much does the Supertec GM-80CNC cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Supertec GM-80CNC 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
Only one GrindMaster has a programmable B axis, and it is the Supertec GM-80CNC. The table lists the wheelhead swivel as automatic servo rotation, driven by a 1.2 kW (1.6 hp) motor through +120° / -30°. On the two smaller models that row is marked not available. With it, the control can turn the wheelhead between operations, presenting the OD wheel or an ID wheel at the angle a taper or face calls for.
It is also the big machine. External grinding reaches Ø800 mm (31 in), the internal range is Ø6~Ø600 mm (Ø0.2~Ø24 in), and swing over the table is Ø820 mm (32 in). Workpiece length stays at 300 mm (12 in), so the parts are discs and rings: large bearing races, gear blanks, flanges.
Workholding steps up accordingly. The standard chuck is an 8 in hydraulic three-jaw with a 10 in option, on an A2-6 spindle nose, and the load figure is 80 kg (176 lb). That is still modest for a ring approaching Ø800 mm, and heavier work should be discussed with Supertec before ordering.
Axis travels match the mid-size model at 600 mm (24 in) on X and 500 mm (20 in) on Y, with a 0°~20° infeed angle. Net weight is 7,700 kg (16,975 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Servo B axis on the wheelhead with +120° / -30° of swivel, the only GrindMaster so equipped
- External grinding up to Ø800 mm (31 in) and internal grinding up to Ø600 mm
- 8 in hydraulic three-jaw chuck on an A2-6 nose, with a 10 in chuck optional
- Load figure raised to 80 kg (176 lb)
- Same 5.6 kW (7.5 hp) OD spindle and Ø405 × 50 × Ø127 mm (Ø16 × 2 × Ø5 in) wheel as the smaller models, so wheels interchange
Limitations
- Workpiece length is capped at 300 mm (12 in) despite the Ø820 mm (32 in) swing
- 80 kg (176 lb) is a low load figure for parts of this diameter
- Workhead speed is Max. 1,000 rpm with a 3 kW (4.0 hp) motor, the same as on the small machines
- The Z axis minimum increment is given in millimetres only, as 0.001 mm

Frequently Asked Questions
01
It rotates the ID/OD wheelhead under servo control. The table lists automatic servo rotation with a 1.2 kW (1.6 hp) motor and a swivelling angle of +120° / -30°. The workhead has its own manual swivel of 30° clockwise or counter-clockwise.
02
Up to Ø800 mm (31 in) for external grinding and Ø6~Ø600 mm (Ø0.2~Ø24 in) for internal grinding, within a swing of Ø820 mm (32 in). Maximum workpiece length is 300 mm (12 in) and the listed load is 80 kg (176 lb).
03
The GM-45CNC grinds up to Ø450 mm (18 in) outside, uses a 6 in chuck on an A2-5 nose, has no B axis and weighs 7,000 kg (15,432 lb). The GM-80CNC adds the servo B axis, an 8 in chuck on an A2-6 nose and Ø800 mm (31 in) capacity at 7,700 kg (16,975 lb). X and Y travels are the same.
04
Each of the two ID spindles is supplied at one speed, to be chosen from 8,000 / 15,000 / 20,000 / 30,000 rpm. Supertec's feature list also names a spare internal grinding spindle, which is one way to keep a second speed on hand for a different bore size.
