Grinding: Achieving Ultra-Fine Finishes and Tight Tolerances
Grinding is a precision finishing process that uses an abrasive wheel as the cutting tool to remove tiny amounts of material from a workpiece, resulting in exceptional surface smoothness and strict dimensional accuracy. The abrasive wheel is composed of hard grains (such as aluminum oxide or silicon carbide) bonded together, and its high rotational speed allows for micro-scale material removal—far finer than traditional cutting processes. This makes grinding essential for finishing parts that require tight tolerances, such as bearing races, precision shafts, and mold components. Additionally, grinding can be used to sharpen cutting tools (like drill bits and lathe tools) or to remove surface defects from cast or forged parts. Specialized grinding techniques include cylindrical grinding (for round parts), surface grinding (for flat surfaces), and centerless grinding (for high-volume, precise cylindrical components).
