Haas CNC Centerless Grinder CL-1 from China

The Haas CNC Centerless Grinder CL-1 is a numerically controlled machine tool designed for precision grinding of cylindrical metal parts such as shafts and bars without using centers. It employs abrasive wheels to remove material and achieve tight tolerances on outer diameters, classifying it under HTS 8460.22.00.80 as a centerless grinding machine, numerically controlled, other than gear-specific. This equipment is essential in semiconductor manufacturing for preparing metal components used in wafer processing tools.

Import Tips

Verify CNC control features meet 'numerically controlled' criteria with manufacturer specs; ensure machine calibration certificates for customs valuation

Common pitfall: misclassifying as non-NC under 8460.22.00.90, leading to duty disputes
