ANSWER 1.

A crankshaft grinder is a cylindrical grinder that has adjustable chucks to allow for grinding of big end journals. These chucks at each work head allow the crankshaft to be indexed and set up on the original crank journal axis. Due to the out of balance vibration created by the crank being offset in the chucks the wheel heads are provided with adjustable balance weights.
