Reform Type 5 Knife Grinder

When the grinding requirements are extreme, the Reform Type 5 is your only choice. The modern Reform Type 5 Knife Grinder series is a perfect example of cutting-edge knife grinding capabilities. Known industry-wide for its durability and retained accuracy over decades of continuous use, no other grinder offers this level of continued performance. The cellular construction of the stress relieved base provides unmatched stiffness and vibration dampening. With Reform’s convenient LCD electronic controls, each stage of the grinding process is safely and conveniently operated, observed, and adjusted. This includes the touch-off, rough grinding, finish grinding, and spark-out stages. The design of the Reform Type 5 allows for the grinding industry’s safest operation of knife grinding equipment. All changeover work is done from the front of the unit. This includes the quick-change capabilities of knives, grinding stones, wheels, and abrasives. By leveraging classic Reform dependability now matched with the best available technology, programmability, repeatability, and results, less demand on the operators translates to quicker grinding cycles.
