Cutting tool: Grinding Wheel

Process Description:
The grinding process consists of removing material from the workpiece by the use of a
rotating wheel that has a surface composed of abrasive grains. Grinding is considered to be
the most accurate of the existing machining processes, Grinding processes are used when
high accuracies, close dimensional tolerances, and a fine surface finishes are required.
Grinding processes also allow for high production rates. This allows for a lowered cost of
production. Hard materials can also be machined.

Grinding Types:

Surface grinding is most common of the grinding operations. A rotating wheel is used in the
grinding of flat surfaces. Types of surface grinding are vertical spindle and rotary tables.

grinding with horizontal spindle grinder. (b) Plunge grinding with horizontal spindle
surface grinder. (c) A vertical spindle rotary-table grinder (also known as the Blanchard
type)

Internal grinding is used to grind the inside diameter of the workpiece. Tapered holes can be
ground with the use of internal grinders that can swivel ion the horizontal.

Cylindrical grinding is also called center-type grinding and is used in the removing the
cylindrical surfaces and shoulders of the workpiece. Both the tool and the workpiece are rotated
by separate motors and at different speeds. The axes of rotation tool can be adjusted to produce
a variety if shapes.

Discussion: A grinding machine, often shortened to grinder, is one of power tools or machine
tools used for grinding, it is a type of machining using an abrasive wheel as the cutting tool.
Each grain of abrasive on the wheel's surface cuts a small chip from the workpiece via shear
deformation. Cutting and grinding is performed on many jobsites.Stay alert and watch what
you are doing. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention when operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.Loose clothes, gloves, long hair can be caught in moving parts. Be sure
switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.Always wear safety glasses, face shield, protective gloves, suitable
protective clothing, hard hat, steel toe boots and hearing protection and dust mask if
necessary. Keep other employees away while operating power tools.Always use proper
guard with grinding wheel, it protects operator from broken wheel fragments. Turn the wheel
guard so that the closed area is towards the operator.
