Internal cylindrical grinding

It produces internal cylindrical holes straight or taper sided.

The work pieces are held in the chuck and rotated precisely about their
axis. A revolving grinding wheel, smaller than the dia. of the hole to be
ground, is set against the rotation of the work piece and traverses
along the surface of the hole.
Form grinding
It produces formed surfaces. Specially shaped grinding wheels grind the formed surfaces as is the
case in grinding gear teeth, threads, splined shafts etc.
Grinding machines
Grinding machines are precision machine tools, designed to remove
metal from a work piece to close tolerances (up to 0.0025 mm)
and to produce high quality surface finish (up to N4).
There are two major groups of grinding machines.
D Off hand or rough grinders D Precision grinders
The common types of precision grinders are:
 Surface grinders
 Cylindrical grinders
 Tool and cutter grinders.
Surface grinders
Surface grinders are used to grind flat, parallel surfaces or stepped surfaces. The surface
produced by a surface grinder is more economical and more accurate than the surface obtained
by filing or scraping.
Cylindrical grinder
Cylindrical grinders are used to grind external and internal cylindrical surfaces. The cylindrical
surfaces produced may be plain, tapered or stepped.
Tool and cutter grinder
A tool and cutter grinder is mainly used to sharpen single point cutting tools, milling cutters etc. It
also can be used as a surface and cylindrical grinder along with some attachments.
