Showcasing the broadest selection of grinding and finishing solutions in its 50+ year history, Master Abrasives experienced high level of activity at this year’s MACH exhibition.

Taking pride of place on the stand were three key machines offered to the industry by Master Abrasives through its carefully selected machinery partners. Alongside the machinery, the Master®, Winterthur Technology Group and Molemab range of grinding wheels was featured.

Ian Meredith, Master Abrasives’ Applications Engineering Manager, commented: “MACH provided once again the perfect platform to present the full spectrum of machinery and grinding solutions we now supply. We were delighted to welcome hundreds of visitors to our stand, where they explored machines ranging from Micromatic Grinding Technologies’ PLUTO 18 Cylindrical CNC Grinder to Supfina’s latest Supfina One precision superfinishing system, as well as Top-Work’s M-40 Universal Cutter & Tool Grinder.”

The PLUTO 18 Cylindrical CNC Grinder offers a compact yet powerful solution for the precise grinding of shaft-type components. Suitable for both plunge and traverse grinding, it combines high accuracy with straightforward operation via an intuitive user interface. Offered in both straight and angular versions, the PLUTO 18 ensures dependable performance and strong value.

Master Abrasives also introduced machinery from Top-Work Industrial Co. Ltd for the first time, following the appointment as their official UK and Ireland agent in January 2025. Established in 1986, Taiwanese Top-Work specialises in manufacturing tool grinding equipment. Master Abrasives showcased at MACH Top-work’s M-40 Universal Cutter & Tool Grinder—a durable and versatile machine designed for precise tool sharpening and refurbishment.

Also present on the stand was the brand new Supfina One, a smart and compact solution for precision superfinishing using either stone or tape. Designed with flexibility in mind, it is particularly well suited to small and medium batch production, delivering consistent, high-quality results without the expense or complexity associated with larger systems. Its intuitive touchscreen controls, adaptable configuration options and space-saving footprint make it easy to integrate into existing workflows. Visitors were able to see the Supfina One in operation through a live demonstration program during the show.

Paul Batson, Managing Director at Master Abrasives, added: “I am extremely pleased with the outcome of this year’s MACH exhibition. Compared to MACH 2024, we saw over a 70% increase in the number of discussions at the stand, along with several highly productive meetings with both new and existing customers. Securing the sale of the PLUTO 18 to Boneham & Turner was undoubtedly a standout achievement for the team.”

With an extensive lineup of grinding and superfinishing machines, complemented by a full offering of abrasives, the Master Abrasives’ stand catered to a wide range of visitor interests.

“I’m confident that visitors were impressed by what Master Abrasives presented at MACH, but a visit to our grinding and finishing showroom—along with a tour of our Northamptonshire facilities—offers an even greater experience,” Ian Meredith concludes.
