Studer

Studer Model OA
Fritz Studer AG was founded in 1912. The
first cylindrical grinding machine produced was for their own
use, but a modified version was exhibited at the 1914 National
Exhibition in Bern. Studer cylindrical grinding machines made
their first commercial appearance at the Basel Swiss Industries
Fair in 1918 in the form of the model OA. This was a modified
version of the machine Fritz Studer had made for his own use
and featured automatic wheel infeed and a patented automatic
reversing mechanism which remained in production until the early
1970s.
Today, Studer are part of the Schleifring
group and still make superb manual and CNC cylindrical grinding
machines.
The machines most likely to be encountered
