Grinding is the process of removing metal by the application of abrasives which are bonded to form a rotating wheel. When the moving abrasive particles contact the workpiece, they act as tiny cutting tools, each particle cutting a tiny chip from...
Read moreWhat Is Grinding and Its Working Principle and Type?
The principle of grinding precision machining: Grinding is an abrasive precision machining method that uses a lapping tool and abrasive to grind off a thin layer of metal from the surface of the workpiece based on fine machining. Define...
Read moreWhat is Centerless grinding | Advantages and Applications
What is GrindingGrinding is the most common form of abrasive machining. It is a material cutting process that engages an abrasive tool whose cutting elements are grains of abrasive material known as grit. These grits are characterized by sharp...
Read moreWhat are Grinding Machine Processing and its Grinding Machine Components?
A grinder is a widely used abrasive processing process in which a spinning wheel is covered with coarse grains. Cutting pieces of metallic or non-metallic substances from a workpiece to make the surface flat or smooth. How Does a Surface Grinder...

Read moreGrinding machine
A grinding machine, often shortened to grinder, is a power tool (or machine tool) used for grinding. It is a type of machining using an abrasive wheel as the cutting tool. Each grain of abrasive on the wheel’s surface cuts a small chip from...
Read moreBasics of centerless grinding
Centerless grinding is critical to manufacturing many high-volume automotive components. These include valve spools, control rods, camshafts, crankshafts, pistons, sleeves and rollers. In addition, centerless grinding is applied to produce parts...
Read moreOptimizing grinding and dressing with ‘dressing speed ratio’ parameter
To achieve the quality and productivity requirements for most precision grinding operations, it is necessary that the grinding wheel is trued and dressed prior to grinding and periodically during the grinding operation. The truing process is...

Dear Doc: We cylindrical-traverse-grind long steel parts. We must follow a specification from 1970 that stipulates “traverse maximum one-eighth of the wheel width per workpiece revolution,” which is contrary to what you preach regarding using...
Read moreUp-grinding vs. down-grinding
Dear Doc: I took your course, and you said that in 99% of grinding operations there’s no significant difference between up-grinding and down-grinding. But I think that our case falls in that 1%. Due to centrifugal expansion, we have to...
Read moreLearn the ins and outs of centerless grinding
Anyone who earns a living at a machine shop probably has heard about centerless grinding, but it is an obscure process often only familiar in name. The three basic types of centerless grinding are through-feed, in-feed and end-feed. In each case...
