Surface Grinding

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.
