Chevalier FSG-1224ADIV High-Precision Flat-Surface Grinder from Germany

This numerically controlled flat-surface grinding machine is designed for finishing flat metal surfaces using abrasive wheels, achieving tolerances down to 0.0001 inches. It falls under HTS 8460.19.0150 as a flat-surface grinding machine for metal other than gear-related, used in semiconductor wafer processing for precise surface preparation. Ideal for high-volume production in precision industries.

Import Tips

Verify machine specs confirm flat-surface grinding for metal, not gear finishing, to avoid reclassification under 8461

Include detailed technical datasheets and end-use certificates for semiconductor processing to support duty preferences

Ensure CE marking or equivalent for safety compliance; watch for undervaluation pitfalls in used equipment imports
