GRINDING AND SHARPENING

 

   

Grinding is the process of removing material by the cutting action of the countless hard and sharp abrasive particles of a revolving grinding wheel as they come in contact with the surface to be ground.

Grinding machines are made in a variety of types and sizes, depending upon the class of work for which they are to be used.

Pedestal grinders are used to sharpen high-speed steel cutting tools used on the lathes and milling machines, debur, or used to remove surface imperfections and to work extremely hard materials.
