Grinding Machine

Grinding machines produce flat, cylindrical, and other surfaces through high-speed rotating abrasive wheels. Grinding is a means of giving a more accurate finish to a part already machined but is also a machining process in its own right. ‘Bench’ and ‘pedestal’ grinders are used for tool sharpening, etc. More complex shapes are produced by shaped wheels called ‘contour grinding wheels’. The main types of machine are the ‘surface grinding machine’ for flat surfaces; and the ‘cylindrical grinding machine’ for cylindrical surfaces.
