Cylindrical grinding

Background

Cylindrical grinding shapes the outside of a workpiece by removing the workpiece’s cylindrical surfaces and shoulders.

Types of cylindrical grinding

1. Outside diameter grinding
   

2. Inside diameter grinding
   

3. Centerless grinding
   

4. Plunge grinding
   

5. Creep feed grinding
   

Cylindrical grinding essentials

1. The workpiece must have a central axis of rotation
   

2. The diamond grinding wheel must be in constant rotation
   

3. The diamond grinding wheel must be able to gravitate toward and away from the workpiece
   

Choosing a diamond wheel for cylindrical grinding

GAASH diamond grinding wheels are especially designed for delivering a consistent low-force grind, dimensional accuracy, and a good surface finish. The high-grinding properties of GAASH diamond grinding wheels, increase efficiency and reduce production costs.
