Information regarding external cylindrical grinding

• Grinding between centres

• Various options for economically grinding all types of materials and workpieces in any dimension

• Predominant use of vitrified bonded grinding wheels in grit sizes ranging from 54 to 180

• Selection of resin-bonded (bakelite) grinding wheels for various applications to produce extremely fine surface finishes (e.g. < 3 µm Rz)

• Selection of grinding wheel hardness depends on the outer diameter of the workpiece

• The larger the diameter, the softer the grinding wheel

• Standard hardness grades from H to L
