Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified as semiconductor wafer preparation equipment
Statistical notes specify crystal grinders under wafer manufacturing in 8460.
If not rebuilt but merely used without refurbishment
Non-rebuilt used machines may fall under general other category.
