Grinding machines
Grinding machines are tools used to shape, sharpen, or finish metal and other materials by removing small amounts of material with a rotating abrasive wheel or belt. They are essential in manufacturing for achieving precise dimensions and smooth surfaces on parts such as gears, shafts, or tools. The machine consists of a spinning abrasive wheel powered by a motor, and the workpiece is pressed against it to grind away material. Different types of grinding machines exist, including surface, cylindrical, and internal grinders, each suited for specific tasks. They ensure tight tolerances and high-quality finishes in industrial and machine shop applications.
