Cylindrical Grinding

Cylindrical grinding is a precision machining process used to shape the outer surface of a cylindrical object, such as a metal rod or shaft. It involves rotating the workpiece around its axis while a grinding wheel, made of abrasive particles, is pressed against it to remove tiny amounts of material. This process ensures the surface is perfectly smooth, even, and accurately sized. It’s commonly used in manufacturing to achieve high precision and finish on parts like shafts, rollers, and other cylindrical components, improving their functionality and fit in machinery.
