Features
There are a variety of applications for grinders and grinding machines. Some devices are
designed or suitable for metal grinding, ceramics grinding, carbide grinding, and composite
grinding. Grinders and grinding machines are also suitable for automotive applications such as
grinding, surfacing and finishing of weld joints, engine blocks, engine heads, transmission
components, brake rotors, flywheels and other vehicle parts. How to Select Grinders and
Grinding Machines
Grinders and grinding machines are used in the manufacture of medical devices, ceramics, glass,
plastics, composites, semiconductors, and electronics. They are also used in:
Honing, lapping, and superfinishing equipment such as wafer planarization and chemical-
mechanical polishing (CMP) machines are specialized devices that provide very flat, smooth, or
low roughness average (RA) surface finishes. Very rigid machines make better use of abrasives in
precision grinding applications.
Types of Grinders and Grinding Machines
Angled grinders are suitable for manual tasks such as finishing, deburring, patterning, cutting, and polishing.
Belt grinders and sanders consist of a driven contact wheel and a tensioning idler wheel or pulley.
Grinding machines for grinding wheels are designed to hold bonded abrasives and provide greater rigidity or stiffness than
equipment that is designed for flexible coated abrasives. Profile, form, gear and other processes shape the grinding wheel with a
dressing to create a specific profile.
Edge and platen grinders consist of a driven contact wheel, a tensioning wheel or pulley, and an intermediate platen behind an
abrasive belt.
Backstand or benchstand grinders and polishers are suitable for offhand grinding or finishing.
