Besly Double-Disc Grinder

Although the words fashion and grinder are rarely associated, Besly grinders boast a reputation as one of the finest grinder brands ever established. Perhaps lesser known than its double-disc cousin, the Gardner grinder, Besly boasts a long history in grinder manufacture. The Charles H. Besly Company, home of the Besly grinder, built the first disc-grinding machine in the U.S. in 1891. [Side note: That original grinder is now displayed at the Henry Ford Museum in Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan.]

Vertical and Horizontal Grinders

Charles Besly, who started the operation with one employee, established the Charles H. Besly Company in 1891, in Beloit, Wisconsin.  Frederick Gardner later joined the company and developed the disc-grinding machine.  As you may know, Mr. Gardner established his own grinding company in 1905, after serving as superintendent and general manager of the Besly Company for ten years.  The Besly Company went on to produce both horizontal and vertical double-disc grinders as well as vertical rotary surface grinders.

Double-disc grinders grind two sides of a workpiece simultaneously. Double-disc grinders hold remarkable standards for parallelism, flatness and size in high-volume production environments. Because the machine grinds two sides of the part at the same time, you’ll save on handling costs and grind time.  Double-disc grinders boast high productivity rates, with streams of parts flowing rapidly through the machines.

Besly grinders are commonly used for:

Known for their rugged and rigid construction and “old school” great vibration-dampening cast iron bases, Besly grinders are ideal candidates for remanufacturing.  Your Besly grinder can be updated with modern slides, dressers, feed systems and a host of other upgrades. A grinder remanufacture will bring the machine back to OEM or better-than-OEM standards.
