8460.29.01 - Other

HTS code 8460.29.01, "Other," under the subcategory of "Other grinding machines," encompasses a broad range of grinding machines that are not specifically classified elsewhere within the numerically controlled category. This classification is for grinding machines that perform operations such as deburring, sharpening, grinding, honing, lapping, or polishing on metal or cermets using abrasive materials, but which are *not* numerically controlled. It serves as a residual category for manually operated or conventionally controlled grinding machines that fit the general description of the heading but do not meet the specific criteria of other subheadings.

This category is distinguished from its sibling categories by the absence of numerical control. For instance, while 8460.22.00, 8460.23.00, and 8460.24.00 specifically denote centerless, cylindrical, and other grinding machines that are numerically controlled, respectively, 8460.29.01 captures the non-numerically controlled counterparts. Therefore, if a grinding machine operates with manual controls or traditional mechanical/electrical programming methods, and it is not otherwise specified, it would fall under this "Other" classification.

The subcategories within 8460.29.01 provide further refinement. The "Used or rebuilt" designation (8460.29.01.05) allows for the specific classification of pre-owned or refurbished grinding machines, ensuring accurate reporting of their origin and condition. The subsequent "Other" subdivision signifies that within the non-numerically controlled category, there are still specific types of grinding machines that do not warrant their own dedicated subheading at this level, but are nonetheless distinct from the numerically controlled machines already detailed.
