10. 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.
