Faced with two machines exactly the same, except that one has a newer spindle, a grinding shop wants to know if there's a way to determine if the newer spindle is stiffer than the older one on the other machine. Dr. Jeffrey Badger, the host of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine's Grinding Doc Video Series, analyzes the situation in the 16th episode of the video series.

About the Grinding Doc Video Series: Thanks to his work as an independent grinding consultant and the author of the "Ask the Grinding Doc" column in Cutting Tool Engineering magazine, Dr. Jeffrey Badger routinely receives questions about grinding from shops all over the world. Through the magazine column and this video series, he provides shops with the insight and guidance they seek.
