Grind threads aggressively and accurately.
Superior motion control is achieved with such advanced components and systems as precision ball screws, digital AC servo motors and linear scales with resolution of 0.000,004".

Drake GS:TE grinders feature variable speed wheel and work drives to provide a constant SFM process. The advanced diamond roll wheel dressing gives you fast and automated truing for virtually any grinding operation.

Drake External Thread Grinders deliver precision and production from day one.

Totally customized programming.
The menu-driven software (you need no programming) is pre-programmed for your exact applications. And you can count on Drake's System Engineers for full-time support and assistance as your needs change and the technology advances.

The total system is pre-tested at our plant on your parts. Then it's proved out for you and prepped for start-up.


The latest Fanuc controls assure
easy set-up.

Drake's Part Smart™ programming boosts your output.
Drake GS:TEs are programmed by our experts to grind threads for taps, power and
steering worms, lead screws and feed screws, ball screws, medical screws, complex geometries and multiple leads aggressively and accurately ... whatever your external
thread grinding application demands.

You'll never have to program another part with a Drake GS:TE. If your needs change and you do need additional programming, our experts can do it for you.


Complex geometries are automatically generated with consistent precision.

* Longer models also available.
