1. GRINDING

 

• Grinding has two main uses,

- as a surface finishing process for flat or cylindrical features that have already been cut.

- to cut complex surfaces with high tolerances or hard materials.

 

• The basic process involves an abrasive wheel spinning at high speed that is brought into contact with the work surface, thus giving a smooth finish.
