What to Look for When Buying a Used Vollmer
On rotary tool grinders, verify spindles, axes, and wheel condition. VGrind machines feature Vollmer's double-spindle concept with two vertical grinding spindles. Check both for runout, bearing noise, and thermal stability. Verify all 5 CNC axes for positioning accuracy. On VGrind argon/infinity, confirm IoT gateway and internal wheel measuring probe. Inspect grinding wheels and confirm automatic measurement and wear compensation. On VLaser 370, verify laser source output and optical path.
On erosion machines, check the generator and wire/disc systems. On QWD wire erosion, verify the VPulse EDM generator, 5-axis kinematics, wire threading, and tension. On QXD disc erosion, confirm 5 CNC axes and 2 manual axes, auto erosion/measurement cycle, and clamping for PCD tools. On QR 270/QF 270 PCD circular saw erosion, verify disc electrode, CNC axes, and ND robot connection if equipped.
On circular saw and band saw machines, check geometry and automation. On CHF/CHD/CPF machines (up to 8 CNC axes), verify wheel condition, tooth indexing accuracy, and measurement. On CS 860/CSF 860, test oscillating machining and automatic tooth geometry detection. On CC 355, confirm all three workstations cycle correctly. On ND-series robot handling, verify gripper function, blade loading (up to 650 blades), and integration with connected machines.
Vollmer VGrind Rotary Tool Grinding
VGrind 160, 360, argon & infinity
The VGrind 160 is a 5-axis grinding machine for solid carbide tools up to 50 mm diameter. The VGrind 360 delivers high-precision production grinding with innovative kinematics. The VGrind argon adds an IoT gateway for digital tool production under Industry 4.0, with automatic grinding wheel measurement and wear checking via internal probe. The VGrind infinity processes diameters from 0.2 to 200 mm and fully cylindrical tools up to 32 mm with lengths to 360 mm. All VGrind machines share the double-spindle concept for precise, efficient machining of drills, milling cutters, reamers, and other carbide cutting tools.
VLaser 370 & PCD Rotary Tool Erosion
The VLaser 370 uses laser machining for rotary tools with innovative kinematics and outstanding thermal stability. The QWD wire erosion provides 5-axis kinematics with the VPulse EDM generator for PCD rotary tools. The QXD disc erosion offers 5 CNC axes with automatic erosion and measurement for PCD and hard materials. The QM eco select is designed for PCD cutting edges requiring highest accuracy, available for wet or dry grinding.
Vollmer Circular Saw Sharpening & Erosion
CNC Circular Saw Grinding (CHF, CHD, CPF, CS, CP, CC)
The CHF/CHD series provides CNC face and top grinding for carbide-tipped circular saw blades with up to 8 CNC axes and automatic measurement. The CPF 650 delivers 5-axis double-sided peripheral grinding for side angles. The CS 860 and CSF 860 are universal sharpening machines for carbide-tipped circular saws from 80 to 860 mm, with automatic tooth geometry detection and oscillating machining. The CP 650 handles blades up to 1,300 mm (or 1,440 mm in CPF variant). The CC 355 combines three workstations for fast, flexible production of woodworking tools in large batches.
PCD Circular Saw Erosion (QR 270, QF 270)
The QR 270 and QF 270 are disc erosion machines for PCD-tipped circular saw blades, handling production and servicing of diamond saw blades with extended service life for cutting cement fibre boards, recycled wood, and demanding materials. Both connect to the ND robot system for automated operation.
Vollmer Band Saw, Stelliting & Automation
Band Saw Sharpening, Stelliting & Brazing
Vollmer offers sharpening machines for carbide-tipped band saw blades with complete machining capability. Stelliting machines use plasma welding for band, gang, and circular saw blades (2 CNC axes). Brazing equipment handles manual debrazing and soldering of carbide teeth. MIG welding machines provide automatic repair of band saw blade cracks.
ND-Series Robot Handling & Digital Solutions
The ND-series robot handling system combines up to three grinding machines and loads up to 650 circular saw blades for unmanned, round-the-clock production. Vollmer's digital solutions include IoT gateway connectivity on VGrind machines, enabling remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and Industry 4.0 integration.

Frequently Asked Questions About Used Vollmer Machines
Are used Vollmer machines reliable?
Yes. Vollmer has manufactured sharpening, grinding, and erosion machines in Germany since 1909, making it one of the oldest and most respected names in the tool sharpening industry. With 16 subsidiaries, 30+ representatives, and ~800 employees, Vollmer provides global service. VOLLMER OF AMERICA handles North American sales, service, training, and parts.
What is the VGrind double-spindle concept?
All VGrind machines feature two vertically configured grinding spindles that enable precise and efficient machining of carbide rotary tools (drills, milling cutters, reamers, chippers). The dual-spindle arrangement allows different grinding operations without tool change, reducing cycle time and improving accuracy.
What should I inspect before buying a used Vollmer?
On VGrind: both spindles (runout, bearings), 5 CNC axes, wheel probe, IoT gateway. On QWD/QXD erosion: generator, wire/disc system, CNC axes, measurement cycle. On circular saw grinders: wheel condition, tooth indexing, measurement, automation integration. On ND robot: gripper, capacity, connected machine integration.
Which Vollmer models hold their value best?
VGrind 360 and VGrind argon rotary tool grinders, QWD and QXD PCD erosion machines, and CPF/CHF CNC circular saw grinders hold the strongest residual values. Call (844) 478-8181 for valuations.
