Grinding

Grinding is an abrasive machining process that uses a grinding wheel as the cutting tool.

Grinding practice is a large and diverse area of manufacturing and toolmaking. It can produce very fine finishes and very accurate dimensions; yet in mass production contexts, it can also rough out large volumes of metal quite rapidly.

Compared to "regular" machining, it is usually better suited to taking very shallow cuts, such as reducing a shaft's diameter by half a thousandth of an inch or 12.7 ?m.

We have a range of cylindrical grinders, offering a capacity range of 254mm diameter x 686mm in length, through to 610mm diameter x 3000mm length.
