Through the inclusion of two stations on its turret-type wheel head, the machine's wheel head quickly switches among internal, external and face grinding with one chucking. This ability proves especially useful when a job demands roundness approaching 1 micron. The integration of operations is said to reduce the time a workpiece spends in the factory.

The internal grinding spindle's options include a programmable speed range of 9,000 rpm to 75,000 rpm and internal grinding diameters ranging from 0.6" to 7.9". The external grinding wheel features a speed range of 2,400 rpm to 3,700 rpm and a maximum external grinding diameter of 7.9". The main spindle is capable of programmable speeds from 40 rpm to 800 rpm.
