APPLICATION GUIDE
Cylindrical grinding includes all outside grinding of round
work, even when the finished product is not always
a true cylinder. Requirements in cylindrical grinding vary
from fast stock removal to ultra smooth (mirror) finishes.
Cylindrical wheels are used extensively in the automotive,
aerospace, shipbuilding, engine manufacture, turbine
manufacture and bearing industry, as well as general
shops and tool rooms.
The term surface grinding is used to describe the grinding
of flat surfaces in which the wheel moves past the
workpiece in a flat plane, or vice versa. Surface grinding
applications range from heavy rapid stock removal,
to precision contour grinding.
Internal grinding refers to the grinding of bores or holes
and is probably one of the most difficult types of grinding.
Internal grinding applications range from very rapid
stock removal to more controlled processes capable of
generating sizes and concentricity measured in microns.
Tool room grinding refers to the maintenance and repair
of the cutting tools used in manufacturing operations.
Wheels of all sizes and shapes are used in tool and cutter
applications. Most wheels used are vitrified, in grit sizes
36 to 220, and in grades H through to N.
