In order to produce a smooth finish on flat surface, it needs to go through the process of surface grinding.
Widely used as an abrasive machining process, surface grinding has a grinding wheel covered in rough particles that cuts chips of metallic or nonmetallic substance from a workpiece thus making a face either smooth or flat.
The operation of surface grinding is actually the most common. It is essentially a finishing process that uses its spinning abrasive wheel to smooth the surface of materials that are metallic or nonmetallic giving them a more refined look, or to acquire a desired surface for a functional purpose.
Surface grinding does come with benefits that include:
- The ability to grind/smooth extremely hard or rough materials
- Having a high degree of dimensional accuracy
- The ability to produce a surface texture of high finish
- The tooling not being so costly
- Work holding is easier because of a magnetic chuck
- The ability for it to be done automatically
It is useful to use a surface grinding machine if you need to provide precision ground surfaces, either for a high surface finish for attaining critical dimensions.
